Portfolio commentary
November 2025
All figures as at
30 November 2025
The HM1 portfolio was down 5.7% for the month of November, underperforming the MSCI World Accumulation Index (AUD), which gained 0.11%.
The portfolio return included the impact of writing down the value of Corporate Travel Management (CTD). HM1 has a holding of 1,251,663 shares in CTD which has been suspended from trade since 22 August 2025. In the absence of an observable market price, we have adopted a very conservative position of carrying the holding at zero. HM1 expects the holding to realise value over time but will adopt this valuation approach in the absence of a traded market. Should CTD ultimately recommence trading at the same price it had at the time of its trading halt, it would have a positive impact on pre-tax NTA of 9 cents per share.
November was a challenging month for the portfolio. In addition to the CTD write down, seven of the stocks were down between 11-17%. These were MercadoLibre, Guzman y Gomez, Block, Nvidia, Morimatsu International, Cameco and Didi Global.
Since inception, HM1 has delivered an annualised pre-tax investment return of 11.21% p.a. As at 30 November, the current annualised dividend yield is 5.59%, fully franked.
On Friday 14 November, we celebrated the 10th Annual Sohn Hearts & Minds Conference in Sydney. You can access a full recap of the conference here, including key takeaways and the stocks pitched on the day. The presentations delivered a fascinating mix of perspectives and opportunities, and we are pleased to share our new portal giving shareholders direct access to watch the stock pitches. You can sign up to view the videos via our Investor Hub here.
The high conviction ideas from the Conference have been added to the HM1 portfolio and we are excited to see how they perform over the coming year.
