"The Overstone Global Equity Fund gained 8.7% in Q2 2025, taking a highly disciplined value-oriented approach by adding deeply discounted positions in Kyocera and Bunzl while warning of a severe valuation bubble in expensive US equities."
In Q2 2025, the Overstone Global Equity Fund gained 8.7%, underperforming the MSCI World Index (+11.5%) but outperforming the MSCI World Value Index (+5.4%). The quarter was marked by significant geopolitical posturing and macroeconomic imbalances. The manager warns of extreme valuation bubbles in the S&P 500, which trades at 22x forward earnings and a 38x Shiller P/E, supported by an unsustainably strong US dollar and twin deficits. In contrast, the fund's portfolio is priced defensively at 11x earnings. Key portfolio activities included initiating positions in Kyocera (0.7x P/B with >40% upside potential) and Bunzl (almost 8% free cash flow yield with ~45% upside), while fully exiting BT and SS&C as they reached fair value. The manager believes a major normalization process is still required for broader equity markets.
