Quick Take
"The Cooper Investors Global Equities Fund (Unhedged) returned 5.21% for the quarter and 24.38% for the financial year, driven by strong performances from Scout24 and TKO Holdings, while highlighting PrairieSky Royalty as a high-conviction real asset holding."
Executive Summary
The Cooper Investors Global Equities Fund (Unhedged) delivered a solid performance for the quarter ending June 30, 2025, returning 5.21% net of fees, slightly trailing its benchmark return of 6.1%. Over the full financial year, the fund achieved an impressive return of 24.38%, significantly outperforming the MSCI AC World Index benchmark's return of 18.4%. The primary drivers of performance over the year were German online property portal Scout24 and combat sports operator TKO Holdings. The fund is currently exiting its position in Scout24 following a multi-year investment cycle where the market has finally recognized its operational turnaround and doubled the share price. Conversely, TKO Holdings continues to show strong momentum with double-digit EBITDA growth, landmark media rights agreements, and emerging site fee monetization strategies. Detractors during the period included B&M European Value Retail and CDW Corporation, both of which have been completely exited due to deteriorating execution and operating trends. In this report, the fund features PrairieSky Royalty (PSK) as a core focused real asset, praising its management, counter-cyclical capital allocation, and the significant latent value within its Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin acreage, unlocked by advanced drilling technology like multilateral wells.
