Quick Take
"PM Capital's Global Companies Fund outperformed in Q1 FY2026 through disciplined exposure to undervalued cyclical sectors. Gold and copper positions drove returns as commodity fundamentals strengthened, while European banks and Macau gaming recovered strongly."
Executive Summary
PM Capital delivered strong performance in Q1 FY2026 as equity markets extended their rally from late April, with the Global Companies Fund rising 10% versus MSCI's 6% advance. The fund's outperformance was driven by disciplined stock selection and exposure to undervalued cyclical sectors, particularly commodities. Gold positions benefited from a 17% price rise to record highs, with Newmont gaining 45% and Northern Star up 26%. Copper holdings including Teck Resources and Grupo Mexico performed well despite Freeport-McMoRan's Grasberg mine accident. European banking positions delivered strong results as steeper yield curves and infrastructure spending confidence supported the sector. Macau gaming stocks recovered strongly with Wynn, Sands China and MGM China all up over 30%. The portfolio remains positioned differently from broader markets in areas with valuation support, having reduced exposure after exiting holdings where investment theses were fully realised. Despite persistent macro headwinds and tariff uncertainty, resilient earnings and rate cuts continue supporting risk appetite.
