"The Fairtree Global Equity Fund underperformed in Q4 2024 with a -6.35% return, hit by a broader sell-off in European and emerging markets. The fund remains cautious on high US tech valuations and cyclicals, choosing to allocate instead to select defensives, Chinese technology, and Kazakhstani financials."
During Q4 2024, the Fairtree Global Equity Fund returned -6.35%, underperforming its MSCI ACWI benchmark by 5.36%. Strong performance in the US market (+2.7%) post-Trump election was offset by significant drops in European markets (-9.7%) and Emerging Markets (-8%), which were hindered by tariff concerns, fiscal/debt issues in France, and a government collapse in Germany. The fund adjusted its holdings by trimming Meta and selling out of Molina, Paccar, and Automatic Data Processing, while buying the dip in Coca-Cola, Crocs, and JD Sports. Notable contributors included Google and Amazon, while Pinduoduo and Evolution AB significantly detracted. Overall portfolio positioning remains defensively tilted, underweighting cyclicals, US tech, and Japan, while holding overweight exposures in China technology and Kazakhstan financials.
