"HMC Capital Partners Fund I fell 29.1% quarterly due to rate hikes and geopolitical tensions hitting Real Estate and Consumer Discretionary holdings. The concentrated fund maintains three core positions - Lendlease, Baby Bunting, and Ingenia - while holding $100 million cash to capitalize on market dislocations."
HMC Capital Partners Fund I reported a -29.1% quarterly return as Real Estate and Consumer Discretionary exposures were hit by consecutive RBA rate increases and Middle East conflict driving oil prices to US$120/bbl. Despite the drawdown, the Fund maintains a 10.6% annualized return since inception, outperforming the ASX 300 by 1.1% annually. The Fund concentrated on three high-conviction positions: Lendlease, trading at 40%+ discount to NTA with CRU exit progress; Baby Bunting, executing a turnaround with gross margins expanding to 41%; and Ingenia, benefiting from demographic tailwinds with visible earnings growth. The Fund exited Lifestyle Communities and now holds approximately $100 million cash with no debt, positioning it to capitalize on market dislocations. The strategy focuses on unlocking trapped value through active engagement and disciplined capital allocation in companies with real asset backing. Management expects the concentrated approach to deliver strong long-term performance despite short-term volatility.
