"The portfolio underperformed its benchmark in Q3 2025 due to stock selection headwinds in SaaS and analog semiconductors, though it capitalized on European financial and industrial initiations."
In Q3 2025, the Hardman Johnston Global Equity Composite returned 5.02% (net of fees), underperforming the MSCI AC World Net Index (7.62%) due to stock selection. Strong performance came from Financials (Commerzbank, Standard Chartered) and regional strength in Europe (Prosus). Detractors included IT (Atlassian, Infineon) and Health Care (Vertex, Boston Scientific). The fund initiated three new positions (Estee Lauder, STMicroelectronics, Prysmian) and fully liquidated none. Looking forward, the fund maintains a constructive, bottom-up outlook focused on valuation advantages outside the US.
