"The Pender Small Cap Opportunity Fund gained 2.0% in September, bringing YTD performance to +6.4%. Despite cautiousness regarding stretched global market valuations and inflation, the managers see high-quality small-cap opportunities and robust M&A activity."
In September 2025, the Pender Small Cap Opportunity Fund returned +2.0% (+6.4% YTD). Global equities pushed to new highs despite ongoing macro uncertainty. The managers highlighted positive performance contributions from Kraken Robotics, dentalcorp, and Tantalus, while Dye & Durham detracted severely due to reporting delays and governance issues. Active portfolio management included trimming stakes in Computer Modelling Group and Docebo, and opportunistically increasing exposure to the resource sector via secondary offerings. M&A momentum continues to unlock latent portfolio value.
