"Stenham Equity UCITS Fund underperformed in Q3 2025 due to a highly speculative market rally in unprofitable tech, but remains committed to high-quality, fundamentally sound AI 'picks and shovels' like TSMC and Microsoft."
In Q3 2025, the Stenham Equity UCITS Fund (A1) posted a return of 0.8% (8.3% YTD), underperforming the MSCI World Index's 7.0%. This underperformance was primarily driven by a sharp factor rotation away from quality toward highly speculative, unprofitable technology names, alongside a negative FX drag from USD weakness. The letter analyzes the massive AI infrastructure boom, comparing today's environment to the dot-com era of the late 1990s. The manager highlights risks of excess, including circular vendor financing and OpenAI's massive $1tn systemic footprints. Despite these mounting concerns, the fund maintains a cautious yet optimistic stance, prioritizing investments in foundational AI 'picks and shovels' (such as Microsoft, TSMC, and Siemens Energy) that have flexible capacity or clear, fundamental business drivers.
