"Canopy's concentrated small-cap fund declined 0.6% in April, trimming SBAC on acquisition rumors while adding to Badger Meter after earnings disappointment. The portfolio maintains superior quality metrics with 29% EBIT margins and 42% return on capital versus benchmark."
The Canopy Global Small & Mid Cap Fund declined 0.6% in April, underperforming its benchmark by 4.1%. The fund maintains a concentrated 32-stock portfolio focused on high-quality small and mid-cap companies with competitive advantages. Key contributors included SBAC, which surged 29% on private market acquisition rumors, leading to position trimming, and Wise. Major detractors were Badger Meter, which fell 21% after disappointing Q1 results due to project timing gaps and soft routine orders, though the managers added to the position citing intact structural tailwinds. The broader market rebounded 4% as the TACO rally accelerated, driven by strong AI-related earnings and risk appetite despite geopolitical tensions and oil above $100. Information Technology led with 20% gains on AI capex momentum. The fund's quality metrics significantly outperform benchmarks with 29% EBIT margins versus 9% for the index, 42% return on capital versus 9%, and lower leverage at 0.6x versus 2.0x.
