"AVI Global Trust focuses on deep value opportunities in holding companies trading at significant discounts to NAV. Korean exposure at 9.5% of portfolio benefits from governance reforms with 68% of KOSPI below book value."
AVI Global Trust declined 0.7% in October 2025, with Korean holdings providing the strongest contributions led by Samsung C&T, HD Hyundai, and Hyosung Corp. The fund has been building exposure to Korea, which now represents 9.5% of NAV, capitalizing on corporate governance reform and deep value opportunities with 68% of the KOSPI trading below book value. Korean names have delivered a weighted average return of 25% since initiation. News Corp was the largest detractor, declining 14% as the discount widened to 46%, though the manager remains optimistic about value realization potential following resolution of the Murdoch Family Trust succession battle. The REA Group stake accounts for 75% of News Corp's market cap, with the stub assets trading at just 4x EBITDA. The manager sees compelling prospects for fundamental-focused investors with active engagement experience, particularly in undervalued holding companies and Korean corporate governance reform beneficiaries.
