"Latitude Global Fund positions defensively amid Trump-driven geopolitical fragmentation, adding Kroger while selling Unilever for superior risk-adjusted returns. The fund targets inflation-protected businesses trading at attractive valuations, avoiding cyclical enthusiasm in AI and commodities."
Latitude Global Fund emphasizes defensive positioning amid major geopolitical shifts, with Trump's extractive policies fragmenting global institutions and creating a new cycle of individualism and protectionism. The fund focuses on three core attributes: fundamental growth potential, margin of safety on valuation, and diversification to generate returns untethered from any single environment. During Q1 2026, they added Kroger and sold Unilever, viewing supermarkets as inflation-protected defensive businesses that benefit during economic stress. Kroger trades at 13.6x trailing earnings with potential for $6 EPS near-term, offering superior risk-adjusted returns compared to Unilever. The manager sees more opportunity in defensive sectors given current enthusiasm for cyclical investments and elevated valuations in AI, commodities, and defense. With the world order changing and western politicians ill-prepared for this new geopolitical phase, portfolio construction and risk control remain paramount. The fund seeks businesses capable of strong returns independent of economic machinations and cyclical sector volatility.
