"Polaris Global Equity Composite posted 8.37% net in Q2 2025 (12.84% YTD), outperforming its value benchmark as it rotated away from overvalued U.S. mega-caps into reform-fueled South Korean equities and attractive European additions."
In Q2 2025, Polaris Global Equity Composite returned 8.37% (net of fees), outperforming the MSCI World Value benchmark (5.62%) but trailing the MSCI World Index (11.63%). Year-to-date, the Composite rose 12.84%, outperforming both indices. Strong results were driven by South Korea (Shinhan Financial, SK Hynix) due to corporate reform tailwinds, and select industrials. Healthcare (UnitedHealth, Elevance) detracted significantly due to regulatory and medical cost issues. Polaris actively managed volatility by liquidating three positions (flatexDEGIRO, OpenText, LG Electronics) and initiating six new positions (JDE Peet's, Bankinter, Endesa, MUFG, Capgemini, D'Ieteren Group). The fund maintains a strong structural underweight in U.S. equities, focusing instead on Europe and select Asian markets.
