Third Link Growth Fund Managers have described 2025 as a year defined by extreme market volatility and sharp diversification, with gains in some large-cap and defensive sectors. According to founder and CIO, Chris Cuff, volatility was a clear theme among the fund’s managers. Third Link Growth Fund is a unique investment vehicle that donates its profits to Australian charities. It offers investors the opportunity to generate financial returns while supporting philanthropic causes.
The fund managers highlighted that the Big Four banks and defense sectors accounted for almost three-quarters of the ASX 300’s performance as of October 31. Cuffe noted that the fund delivered 5.25 percent alpha for the fund’s managers, the fund delivered 5.25 percent alpha for the fiscal year ended Nov. 30. and selective stock picking.
Victor Gomes of Egger Capital observed that small and mid-caps outperformed the top 50 stocks in 2025, but cautioned that prices are now overpriced. Rob Tucker of Chester Asset Management and Matt Booker of Spheria Asset Management highlight the impact of narrative-driven swings in sectors such as AI, tech, and gold, emphasizing the importance of disciplined strategies.
ECP’s Jared Pohl and Oscape’s Tim Carleton believe that heightened volatility is creating opportunities for patient investors focused on underlying fundamentals. The consensus among third-link growth fund managers is that 2026 will favor a fundamentals-based approach, moving away from the trends dominating the market in 2025.
