Quick Take
"Polaris delivered a respectable 5.04% net return in Q3 2025, while warning of frothy AI tech valuations and positioning the fund defensively in cheaper global value sectors and trade-resilient infrastructure."
Executive Summary
In Q3 2025, the Polaris Global Equity Composite generated a 5.04% net return, trailing the MSCI World Index's 7.36% gain due to the market's heavy concentration in mega-cap tech stocks. Strong contributions came from Health Care (United Therapeutics, AbbVie) and Financials (Carlyle Group, MUFG). The manager voices caution over high AI valuations and tariff impacts on heavy-duty truck markets. Strategic portfolio adjustments included exiting fully-valued or cyclical positions (Canadian Tire, Crocs, Mondi) and investing in grid infrastructure, logistics, and healthcare diagnostics (HD Hyundai Electric, DHL Group, Lantheus Holdings).
