"Ennismore Global Equity Fund delivered a positive Q2 2025 return driven by excellent stock selection in its long book, particularly within its 'controlledcos' theme, despite a temporary detraction from speculative shorts."
Executive Summary
The Ennismore Global Equity Fund delivered a positive return in Q2 2025, with the GBP share class gaining 5.6% (7.5% YTD) and the EUR class returning 3.6% (4.5% YTD). Positive stock selection in the long book was the primary driver of returns over the quarter, contributing +14.2% on a gross local basis. Conversely, the short book detracted -4.0%, resulting in a strong long-short spread of 5.3%. Key long contributors included Vend, Admiral, Flutter, and Ryanair. On the short side, speculative lower-quality names in the 'deception' category detracted due to a periodic rally in speculative markets, though robust risk management mitigated overall losses. The fund initiated new positions in Swedish firms Karnov Group and Hemnet, while exiting positions in Calumet, Dye & Durham, and IAC. A major thematic focus of this period is 'controlledcos'—businesses with disciplined, long-term controlling shareholders. Ennismore believes these companies outperform due to their extended time horizons, superior risk management, and capital discipline. This thesis is illustrated by recent investments in Asseco Poland (partnering with Topicus) and Cellnex Telecom (navigating a strategic reset backed by TCI).
