"The Ennismore European Smaller Companies Fund rose 0.3% in September, bringing YTD returns to 10.1%. The manager outlines a strong investment thesis for its re-established position in UK market-share leader Howden Joinery."
Executive Summary
Ennismore European Smaller Companies Fund posted a 0.3% return for September 2025, bringing its YTD performance to 10.1%. Gains were driven by the short book, which contributed +150bps, offsetting detractions in the long book (-100bps). The newsletter highlights a newly re-entered position in UK kitchen supplier Howden Joinery (0.6% of NAV). The fund outlines Howden's powerful cost-leadership model, which relies on trade-only distribution, localized store-manager profit-sharing, and manufacturing scale. Despite depressed UK end-markets, the manager expects Howden to benefit from structural market share gains and eventual volume recovery.
