"Contrarius Global Equity Fund surged 30.9% in Q3 2025, vastly outperforming the benchmark. The manager remains highly bullish on underappreciated real-world AI themes and is aggressively backing small, unloved gene-editing biotech firms at cyclical lows."
Contrarius Global Equity Fund recorded exceptional performance for the quarter ending September 30, 2025, returning 30.9% net of fees compared to 7.3% for the benchmark MSCI World Index. The letter addresses the sustainability of this outperformance, arguing that its core holdings (such as Tesla, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Paramount) remain highly undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth. The letter outlines two main investment themes: real-world artificial intelligence (autonomy and robotics) and a comprehensive overview of the heavily corrected biotechnology sector. Contrarius details its high-conviction positions in innovative gene-editing platform companies—CRISPR Therapeutics, Intellia Therapeutics, and Beam Therapeutics—noting that current cyclical lows and 'one-and-done' therapeutic breakthroughs present asymmetrical upside opportunities.
