"Polaris warns against high tech valuations in a 'two-speed' economy, opting instead for solid, attractively priced cyclicals, financials, and infrastructure plays."
In Q3 2025, the Polaris International Equity Composite gained 4.77% (net of fees), slightly underperforming the MSCI EAFE Index return of 4.83%. The manager highlights a stark 'two-speed' economy, noting caution around the high valuation and extreme index concentration driven by the AI boom. Polaris capitalizes on opportunities in cyclicals, specifically financials (benefiting from higher rates and corporate governance improvements in Japan) and industrials. Key actions during the quarter include exiting stretched-valuation names such as Canadian Tire and Tecnoglass, selling JDE Peet's at a premium, and initiating new positions in HD Hyundai Electric and DHL Group to play long-term structural trends.
