"EQUAM Global Value Fund celebrates 10 years of outperformance with highly bullish outlooks, backed by a record 126% portfolio upside potential and a massive valuation gap between European SMID caps and global peers."
Executive Summary
EQUAM Global Value Fund marked its 10th anniversary with a cumulative gain of 96% (7% annualized), outperforming its benchmark indices. The quarterly report emphasizes the stark valuation gap between European and American markets, with the P/E differential standing at a 25-year record high of 8.1x. The manager critiques the market distortions caused by prolonged expansionary monetary policies, active-to-passive capital migrations, and hype cycles around ESG and AI. Despite these structural headwinds, the portfolio is deeply undervalued, currently trading at a forward P/E of 9.1x and showing an upside potential of 126%. This value is being validated by 14 takeover offers over the last four years and substantial cash generation, allowing companies like Elecnor and Marlowe to make extraordinary distributions. Active adjustments this quarter included initiating and quickly exiting a position in Just Eat Takeaway following a 30% surge on a US unit sale announcement, and the gradual liquidation of TI Fluid Systems following a recommended takeover offer.
