Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"AVI Global Trust navigated US tariff-induced volatility with a resilient +1.0% NAV return. The manager is highly constructive on prospective returns given historically cheap valuation gaps, marked by a wide 39% portfolio discount."
Executive Summary
AVI Global Trust reported a resilient first half of 2025, with NAV total return up +1.0% and share price return up +0.8%, slightly behind its comparator benchmark's +1.5% return amid a highly volatile geopolitical environment driven by US tariff announcements. The Investment Manager took advantage of market inefficiencies to rotate capital out of successful exits (Apollo Global Management and Reckitt Benckiser) into deeply discounted opportunities like Gerresheimer and Vivendi, while increasing exposure to Japanese equities (now 23% of NAV). The overall portfolio weighted average discount remains historically wide at 39%, offering highly favorable medium-term prospective returns. The Trust also active deployed £30.39m toward buying back its own shares to limit its discount.
