The Canadian market is less competitive with only 36 car brands versus 75 in Australia, and CanadaOne covers fixed costs through service departments before selling cars. Bravura Solutions provides mission-critical software to financial institutions globally with high switching costs. The company was acquired by interests connected to Constellation Software's playbook of buying sticky software businesses. | View | |

Small resources companies drove much of this outperformance with a 73% return, while small industrials delivered a more modest 9% return. Mining services investments like Macmahon benefited from enthusiasm for gold, silver and copper, with the company's share price almost doubling in 2025 after almost a decade of mediocre returns. New contracts for civil infrastructure acquisition Decmil position the company well for future revenue guidance. Australian tourism is finally showing signs of recovery with international arrivals hitting 97% of 2019 levels in recent months. Travel has historically grown at a multiple of GDP growth and there is still catching up to do. Tourism stocks remain very cheap on recovered earnings expectations. AI enthusiasm drove strong performance in tech-heavy indices, but also created concerns about software companies' competitive moats. The theory that AI diminishes software value through 'vibe coding' is one the manager is willing to bet against at the right price, particularly for established platforms with security and reliability advantages. Quality businesses with strong moats and decades of earnings growth suffered in 2025 as share prices had been growing faster than earnings. High multiples became problematic even for the best businesses, resulting in years of no returns while earnings catch up or significant derating if both earnings and multiples come into question. | MAH AU PLT AU OFX AU ARX AU |
