"PM Capital Global Companies Fund posted a flat 0.7% return in Q4 2024 as robust performance in financials and Airbus was offset by a cyclical drag from commodities. The managers capitalized on market volatility to initiate positions in undervalued compounders Sanofi and Pernod Ricard."
Executive Summary
PM Capital Global Companies Fund delivered a flat 0.7% return for the December 2024 quarter, lagging the benchmark's 11.9% return. Strong performance from Apollo Global Management, Airbus, and US banks was offset by weaker performance in commodity holdings (Teck, Freeport, Newmont) as the US dollar surged and copper prices slipped. Portfolio activity was high, with the fund establishing new positions in Sanofi and Pernod Ricard, increasing exposure to SPIE and Newmont, and exiting positions in Charles Schwab Corp and Arch Resources. The fund continues to hedge the majority of its portfolio to AUD, viewing the USD as fully priced.
