Investment Manager's Commentary
as of 30/09/2025Fund
The fund’s core trend following component drove the gains in September. Profits accrued across
precious metals, equity indices and currencies, while fixed income weighed on returns.
A long-running uptrend in precious metals continued through September with the fund profiting
from double-digit gains over the month for gold, silver, platinum and palladium futures. Global equity
indices also continued to rally, with profits accruing from long positioning across multiple regions.
Both trend following and diversifying signals were on the right side of price action in currencies, with
short positioning in the Canadian dollar and Japanese yen, and long exposure to the Brazilian real
leading the gains.
Fixed income pared performance over the month. The fund suffered losses from long positioning at the
short end of the US yield curve, with further losses accruing from short exposure to the long end of the
curve. Long positioning in 2-year New Zealand and Mexican interest rates were a bright spot in the
sector as yields fell over the month.
After 17 years, Carsten Schmitz will be retiring from Winton and leaving the investment industry at the
end of the year for personal reasons. Simon Judes will continue as CIO, with Nick Thomas-Peter – a
senior member of the investment team for over a decade – appointed to the new role of Deputy CIO.
