Quick Take
"AVI Global Trust focuses on deep value opportunities in companies trading below net asset value. Korean exposure at 9.5% of NAV has generated strong returns amid governance reforms."
Executive Summary
AVI Global Trust declined 0.7% in October 2025, with Korean holdings continuing to drive performance despite broader market challenges. The fund has built Korean exposure to 9.5% of NAV, capitalizing on corporate governance reforms and deep value opportunities, with 68% of the KOSPI trading below book value. Korean names have contributed +1.1% to NAV with a weighted average return of +25%, led by HD Hyundai (+54%), Hyosung Corporation (+71%), and Samsung C&T (+28%). News Corp remains a significant position despite a 14% decline and discount widening to 46%. The investment thesis centers on unlisted assets, particularly Dow Jones, which the manager believes is worth approximately three times the entire stub value. A resolution of the Murdoch Family Trust succession battle removes a key impediment to structural reform. The manager sees compelling prospects for value realization across the portfolio, particularly in Korea where governance reforms continue to create opportunities for active, engaged investors.
