"Renaissance's International Small Cap strategy capitalised on a strong third quarter, actively rotating away from French political risk and toward high-conviction structural themes like AI infrastructure and EV components at a significant valuation discount to the US."
In 3Q2025, international equities delivered their third consecutive positive quarter, outperforming US equities. Renaissance's strategy outperformed its benchmark, supported by positive absolute returns across all economic sectors, particularly information technology. Key portfolio moves included decreasing exposure to French equities due to escalating political and fiscal crises, selling specialty insurer Fidelis Insurance, and establishing a new position in automotive parts supplier Minth Group. While Chinese equities remain volatile amid property and trade headwinds, the emergence of an AI infrastructure arms race provides strong support. Overall, the manager is highly constructive on international small-cap equities due to their deep 35% valuation discount relative to US markets.
