"The Hood River International Opportunity Fund posted an exceptional 19.08% return in Q3 2025, outperforming its benchmark by 12.40% through precise stock selection in under-analyzed international small-caps."
In Q3 2025, the Hood River International Opportunity Fund returned 19.08%, significantly outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Small Cap Index, which returned 6.68%. Stock selection was the primary performance driver, particularly within information technology, industrials, and financials. The manager highlights portfolio holdings Avio S.p.A. and Almonty Industries as high-conviction ideas playing into structural tailwinds (defense/space and critical mineral security). The letter emphasizes that over the last 20 years, international small caps have delivered superior risk-adjusted returns (22% better return per unit of risk than EM large-cap) and remain highly attractive due to lower valuations, a softer US dollar, and structural market inefficiencies.
