"The Aristotle/Saul Global Equity Fund underperformed its benchmarks in Q3 2025 with a 5.08% return. Consistent with its long-term, high-conviction philosophy, the fund executed zero transactions during the quarter, trusting its core positions to compound through macro volatility."
In Q3 2025, global equity markets continued to gain, but the Aristotle/Saul Global Equity Fund (Class I-2) returned 5.08%, underperforming the MSCI ACWI Index (7.62%) and the MSCI World Index (7.27%). Underperformance stemmed from security selection and allocation effects, particularly in IT, materials, and Europe. Top contributors included Samsung Electronics (buoyed by key Nvidia and OpenAI developments) and FirstCash (supported by defensive pawn models and UK expansion). Primary detractors were MonotaRO and Nemetschek, both of which face temporary headwinds that do not affect the manager's long-term thesis. Consistent with its disciplined, low-turnover investment philosophy, the fund conducted zero transaction activity (no buys or sells) during the quarter.
