Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"The fund focuses on high-quality companies leveraged to global themes including European bank recovery from infrastructure spending and commodity supply constraints from underinvestment. Key contributors included AIB Group, Newmont, and Macau gaming stocks."
Executive Summary
PM Capital's June quarter performance reinforced their strategy of investing in high-quality, undervalued companies leveraged to attractive global themes. The fund returned 8.1% for the quarter, led by European bank positions, particularly AIB Group, and commodity holdings including Newmont, Freeport, and Teck. Gaming positions MGM China and Wynn Resorts also contributed positively. The portfolio's two largest themes are European banks and commodities. European banks are significantly undervalued relative to US and Australian peers and could benefit from rising infrastructure and defence spending driving economic activity. In commodities, underinvestment in resource projects constrains supply while geopolitical tensions support higher prices. The fund made several portfolio adjustments, adding Spectris and Diageo while exiting Shell. Currency management remains active with hedging back to Australian dollars. The manager expects the recovery in European banks and select commodity producers to take years to play out, requiring patience and discipline.
