| 2025 Q4 | Jan 13, 2026 | Ennismore European Smaller Companies Fund | 0.0% | 10.7% | AAD.DE, BNTX, COST.L, DWNI.DE, EVS.BR, LSS.PA, PDX.ST, RNK.DE, SFQ.DE, SIKA.SW, STB.L, STO.DE, THEP.PA, TRI.PA, ULP.L, VETQ.PA, VOW3.DE | AI, defense, Europe, infrastructure, Long/Short, Quality, small caps, value | The fund focuses on European smaller companies with significant volatility in 2025 as investors turned attention towards large, liquid businesses. Despite brief revival of interest in small caps early in the year, the asset class faced headwinds from investor preference for large-cap themes like energy, defense, and AI. The fund employs a valuation-first investing framework with strong conviction in individual positions based on quality of businesses and embedded margin of safety. Top ten long positions trade at average EV/NOPAT multiple of thirteen times versus twenty-four times for short positions, implying nearly 50% valuation discount for comparable quality. Several portfolio companies benefited from upcoming infrastructure spending in Germany and the UK, with Vossloh and Costain Group seeing significant improvements in market perception. The fund anticipates positive triggers from launch of exceptionally large infrastructure projects in Germany. The defense industry continued to rally with valuations detaching from fundamentals in favor of narrative. The fund was slow to react to this theme, with short position in Renk Group costing performance as defense companies outperformed despite fundamental concerns. Artificial intelligence emerged as an intense focus theme for investors, creating headwinds for some portfolio companies. Moltiply Group faced investor concerns about AI impact, while the broader market showed exuberant behavior in speculative corners with focus on AI themes. | R3NK GR STO3 GR SFQ GR DWNI GR TRI FP EVS BB SIKA SW STB LN |
