"Ganes Focused Value Fund outperformed the index with a 16.2% return in Q3 2025. The fund trimmed its Reece position due to US headwinds and initiated a new international IT position using market volatility."
The Ganes Focused Value Fund posted a strong return of 16.2% for the September 2025 quarter, significantly outperforming the ASX 300 Accumulation Index (+5.0%). Key positive contributors included Eagers Automotive (+68%), Fiducian (+36%), and Redox (+32%). The fund took advantage of heightened market volatility to initiate a position in an international IT company expected to enter the top 10 soon. Conversely, the manager reduced exposure to Reece Australia following a disappointing 24% profit decline and heightened competitive pressures in the US. Core holdings like Lovisa and AUB Group delivered sound operating results, and PWR Holdings finalized its transition to a larger manufacturing facility, setting the stage for future growth.
