Executive Summary
For the quarter ending June 30, 2025, the Mayar Responsible Global Equity Fund (Class A) returned 6.45% net of fees, underperforming the benchmark MSCI World Index's 11.47% increase. Despite recent short-term underperformance, Managing Director Abdulaziz Alnaim reiterates the fund's commitment to its high active share (96%) and long-term bottom-up value investing style. Alnaim highlights the value of 'antifragility' in navigating rising global tariff risks and protectionist trade policies. During the quarter, the fund added to holdings in Novo Nordisk, Nike, Solventum, and Johnson Service Group, while trimming positions in Kenvue, Unilever, Bright Horizons, Mastercard, and Visa on valuation grounds. Additionally, a new position was initiated in Croda International. The letter also highlights Nestlé as a core resilient holding and welcomes two new team members: Angus Archibald and Callan Pringle. Mayar's firm AUM stood at $416.2 million at quarter-end.
