Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"Harding Loevner Global Equity rose 10.20% net in Q2, trailing the benchmark. The fund took advantage of market volatility to buy Adobe and Japan's Disco Corp, while completely exiting UnitedHealth Group."
Executive Summary
During Q2 2025, the Harding Loevner Global Equity composite rose 10.20% (Net), underperforming the MSCI ACWI Index's 11.7% return. Despite elevated geopolitical risks, tariff concerns, and widespread domestic protests, markets shrugged off risks and marched higher, bolstered by economic resilience and relentless AI progress. The fund utilized market corrections to buy high-conviction positions, notably adding to Adobe (arguing its editing workflow layer is secure against foundational AI model disruption) and establishing a new stake in Japan's Disco Corp. The fund actively cleaned up its portfolio by liquidating UnitedHealth Group due to soaring medical costs and regulatory issues, and exited Salesforce. New positions were also established in Johnson & Johnson, Progressive, and Visa.
