Celebrating one year of the Munro Global Growth Small and Mid Cap Fund
On behalf of the team at Munro, I am thrilled to mark the one-year anniversary of the Munro Global Growth Small and Mid Cap Fund with a return of 53.9%, outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI Small & Mid Capitalisation Index’s return of 24.7% by 29.2%. The Fund’s strong start is attributed to our investment process and the collective expertise of our team.
A key driver of our success lies in the Fund’s diversified portfolio across multiple Areas of Interest.
We believe that focusing on emerging trends across Climate, Digital Enterprise, High Performance Computing, Security, Consumer, and Infrastructure has allowed us to capture growth from multiple sources. This strategy proved effective in navigating the complexities of the market environment over the past year.
The Fund’s first year of performance is a result of the collaboration and diverse perspectives of our entire investment team. By fostering a rich environment of knowledge sharing and rigorous due diligence, we were able to uncover unique and promising investment opportunities.
Most importantly, we extend our gratitude our investors. Thank you for your trust and support.
While we are proud of the Fund’s performance in its first year, we remain incredibly excited about its prospects. We believe that the companies within the portfolio have long runways for growth and remain under-appreciated and underdiscovered by the broader market. Their reasonable valuations, particularly compared to their larger peers, present a compelling opportunity for continued value creation.
We look forward to sharing further updates on the Fund’s progress.
Many thanks,
Qiao Ma
Partner & Lead Portfolio Manager
