"GCQ Flagship Fund outperformed the MSCI World Index with a +26.4% return for the year to June 2025, driven by strict checklist-based stock selection, active capital recycling, and successful engagement with key holdings like Rightmove, Money Forward, and Hemnet."
GCQ Funds Management's July 2025 investor letter reports that the GCQ Flagship Fund (P Class) delivered a +26.4% net return for the year ending June 30, 2025, bringing cumulative returns since its July 2022 inception to +119.8% (+30.0% p.a.). This represents a strong outperformance of the MSCI World Index (AUD), which returned +18.0% and +74.1% over the same periods. The manager emphasizes that performance was broad-based rather than driven by narrow thematic rallies like AI. Key portfolio actions during the period included exiting positions in VeriSign, S&P Global, Moody's, and Fortnox under the fund's strict 90%-of-intrinsic-value sell discipline. Capital was recycled to build or add to positions in Uber, Netflix, Airbnb, LVMH, Money Forward, and Hemnet. The letter features detailed case studies on Rightmove (trimmed as it neared fair value), Money Forward (where active engagement led to enhanced disclosure guidance), and Hemnet (where the fund pushed for share repurchases). Looking forward, the manager estimates that the portfolio's annual earnings and cash flow will double over the next five years and highlights that the portfolio is attractively valued at 24x forward earnings.
