Ganes Focused Value Fund operates with a philosophy centered on acquiring exceptional businesses with durable competitive advantages and holding them patiently over extended horizons. For the quarter ending September 30, 2026, the fund generated an 8.3% return net of fees, outpacing the benchmark ASX 300 Accumulation Index return of 1.3%. On a twelve-month basis, the fund declined 6.2% net of fees, driven down by contractions across core consumer-facing holdings including Lovisa, ARB Corporation, and Eagers Automotive. Portfolio performance has exhibited marked divergence, with certain individual names advancing over 50% while others dropped over 50%. Top positive contributors for the quarter included PWR Holdings, Bravura Solutions, and Dicker Data, while Eagers Automotive and Redox detracted. Capital allocation remains heavily focused on top holdings, maintaining high equity exposure with cash standing at a minimal 2.0%. Management emphasizes that business owner fundamentals and international compounders will drive long-term intrinsic value despite headline macro volatility.
