| 2025 Q4 | Jan 19, 2026 | Forager International Shares Fund | -2.0% | 15.0% | AUTO.L, BKNG, CRH, CRM, FISV, FIX, FLUT, G24.DE, INCH.L, INGA.AS, IT, LNR.TO, NUTX, NXT, PSI.TO, REA.AX, SES.MI, WISE.L, XRO.AX, ZEG.L | AI, global, Quality, small caps, technology, Travel, value | AI companies' insatiable demand for data centres and power generation led to significant returns for heating and cooling system installer Comfort Systems and solar equipment company Nextpower. Markets are increasingly questioning whether new AI-enabled competitors and solutions threaten the dominance of application software companies. The fund added three technology companies that have each halved over 2025 and hopes to add more. Many tech stocks had become expensive but recent falls present opportunities, though most still aren't cheap enough including Xero. International arrivals into Australia set post-Covid records in recent months, with August, September and October combined seeing arrivals hit 97% of 2019 levels. Travel has historically grown at a multiple of GDP growth and there is still catching up to do. 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 a problem even for the best businesses, resulting in years of no returns or significant derating. | ARX AU ZEG LN NXT NUTX FISV |
