"The Fairtree Global Equity Fund gained 10.9% in Q2 2025, slightly lagging its benchmark as it actively reduced defensive and US holdings to double down on high-conviction structural technology and regional reform plays."
During Q2 2025, the Fairtree Global Equity Fund delivered a return of 10.9%, underperforming its benchmark by 0.6%. The global equity backdrop was highly divergent: US equities posted strong absolute returns but suffered extreme tariff-induced volatility and a first-quarter annualized GDP contraction of 0.5%. Meanwhile, European and Emerging Markets indices saw powerful runs, particularly in South Korea (+32.8%) and Taiwan (+26.1%). The fund took active portfolio measures, fully exiting its holdings in Ross Stores, Sysco, UnitedHealth Group, and Vertiv Holdings, while initiating new allocations in Progressive Corp, Lowe’s, Goldfields, and Fiserv. It also actively shifted EM tech exposure away from Pinduoduo and Prosus in favor of a larger holding in JD.com, and topped up positions in Google, Applied Materials, BP, and Glencore. Geographically, the fund is positioned underweight the US and Canada, and overweight China and Kazakhstan.
