"Airlie Small Companies Fund remains focused on long-term quality compounders over market timing, highlighting a significant portfolio upweight in Sigma Healthcare (merged with Chemist Warehouse) and expressing confidence in the mispriced small-cap universe."
In this FY25 overview, Airlie Small Companies Fund emphasizes its core philosophy of investing in high-quality, long-term compounders while ignoring short-term macro noise such as the April tariff sell-off. Key positive performance contributors for the year included Sigma Healthcare, Nick Scali, Gentrack, and News Corp, while Tabcorp and Smartpay detracted. The manager highlights a significant new investment/upweighting in Sigma Healthcare following its merger with Chemist Warehouse, praising the merged entity's moat and capital deployment potential. Tabcorp's position was heavily reduced, but the fund remains confident in Smartpay due to emerging bidder interest. The manager concludes with an optimistic outlook on small-cap mispricings and maintains a concentrated portfolio focus of 20-40 stocks.
