Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"The Munro Global Growth Fund achieved a robust 16.1% net return for the June quarter, driven by strong gains in AI and climate-related megatrends. Following a brief period of tariff-induced defensive hedging, the fund has redeployed cash to reach a 97% long exposure, maintaining a highly bullish stance on structural growth equities."
Executive Summary
The Munro Global Growth Fund (and its ASX-quoted counterpart MAET.ASX) delivered a strong net return of 16.1% for the June quarter of 2025, bringing its full financial year return to 16.9% net. This performance was primarily driven by long positions and successful hedging, while short positions and foreign exchange currency movements (due to a 5% appreciation of the AUD against the USD) acted as detractors. Key performance contributors included mega-cap technology and clean energy positions, notably Nvidia, GE Vernova, Microsoft, Siemens Energy, and Constellation Energy. Conversely, BYD, Northrop Grumman, and CRH detracted from returns, with CRH being removed from the portfolio under the fund's stop-loss protocol.
During the quarter, the fund navigated significant macroeconomic volatility stemming from the US Administration's aggressive tariff announcements. In response, the investment team initially took defensive hedging measures but quickly reversed them to re-deploy cash (raising long exposure to approximately 97%) after a tariff pause was announced on April 9. Looking ahead, Munro Partners remains highly bullish on growth equities for the second half of 2025, driven by structural tailwinds in High Performance Computing (AI infrastructure), Climate (decarbonization and nuclear power demand), and Security (increased European and NATO defense spending).
