"Fairtree's Global Flexible Income Plus Fund delivered 2.63% in Q3 2025, beating its benchmark. The managers strategically increased portfolio risk during market weakness to position for a continuation of the credit bull market while maintaining defensive, highly liquid reserves."
Executive Summary
The Fairtree Global Flexible Income Plus Fund posted a strong absolute return of 2.63% in Q3 2025, outperforming its benchmark by 0.29%. The manager notes that while equities have experienced massive rallies, European credit remains highly compelling on a risk-adjusted basis. In response to range-bound markets and narrowing credit spreads, the managers tactically increased risk during third-quarter weakness to bring the portfolio closer to benchmark beta. Significant portfolio parameters include holding Goldman Sachs as the largest single-issuer exposure (9.8%), adding a 1.1% allocation to Eskom debt, and maintaining a Duration Times Spread (DTS) of 10.1. Looking ahead, the fund remains bullish on the medium-term credit environment and US interest rate cuts, though they maintain a highly liquid posture to hedge against selective volatility and regional inflation risks.
