Quick Take

"Fortress delivered positive Q3 returns across all funds while maintaining their disciplined value approach. The manager warns that expensive U.S. tech stocks may disappoint despite AI momentum, favoring emerging markets and non-U.S. opportunities with better valuations."

Executive Summary

Fortress Fund Managers reported positive returns across all funds in Q3 2025, with the Caribbean Growth Fund gaining 2.8% and reaching new highs. The manager emphasizes their philosophy of investing globally in high-quality, profitable companies at reasonable valuations, believing this approach provides better risk-adjusted returns than chasing recent winners. While artificial intelligence continued driving technology stocks to new highs, the manager warns that the largest U.S. tech companies may be priced for disappointing future returns due to elevated valuations. The fund benefited from strong performance in emerging markets, particularly China, where constructive trade talks and government support for private enterprise drove gains. In contrast, Caribbean markets weakened due to foreign exchange constraints and geopolitical pressures. The manager reduced exposure to Asian smaller companies while maintaining diversified global positioning. They continue to see excellent return prospects from their diversified holdings worldwide, emphasizing that their contrarian approach to valuation-driven investing positions them well for future opportunities across multiple geographies and sectors.
