"The fund dipped 1.4% in the month but continues to compound at 16.0% since inception. The manager divested Sylogist for Netfonds and remains highly constructive on Elixirr's recent acquisition and Asiro's deep value opportunity."
Executive Summary
For the period ending September 2025, Hurdle Rate Unit Trust reported a monthly decline of 1.4% after fees, though compounding at 16.0% net since inception with low downside volatility. The manager laid out an indicative pathway to scale the trust's NAV to reduce operating costs below 1% of net asset value. Key activity included divesting Sylogist to acquire a position in Netfonds, a founder-led German financial services platform. Additionally, Elixirr posted strong operational developments through its TRC Advisory acquisition, while Japanese holding Asiro's valuation became increasingly cheap (EV/EBIT under 7) despite a soft quarter and a 35% decline in its share price.
