Fund Returns
Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"Fortress delivered strong Q3 returns through global diversification, investing in quality companies at reasonable valuations. While AI drove expensive U.S. tech higher, emerging markets led performance with Chinese stocks benefiting from policy support."
Executive Summary
Fortress Fund Managers delivered positive returns across all funds in Q3 2025, with the Caribbean Growth Fund gaining 2.8% and reaching new highs. The manager emphasizes their core philosophy of investing globally in high-quality, profitable companies at reasonable valuations, noting that valuations serve as the launching point for future returns and provide crucial room for error. While artificial intelligence continued driving momentum in already expensive U.S. technology shares, emerging markets posted the strongest returns, particularly Chinese stocks benefiting from constructive trade talks and government support for private enterprise. The fund's diversified global approach proved beneficial as Caribbean markets weakened due to foreign exchange constraints and geopolitical pressures. The manager reduced exposure to Asian smaller companies while maintaining conviction in their globally diversified portfolio. Despite concerns about elevated U.S. tech valuations leaving little room for error, they continue to see excellent return prospects from their diversified holdings worldwide, favoring non-U.S. tech exposure and other undervalued market areas.
