Portfolio Commentary
The HM1 portfolio was up 6.7% in May,
outperforming the MSCI World Accumulation Index
(AUD), which rose 4.5%. Since inception, HM1 has
delivered an annualised pre-tax investment return
of 10.2% p.a. As at 31 May, the current annualised
dividend yield is 6.7%, fully franked.
Several holdings recorded strong gains in May, led
by ACM Research (+67%), alongside Morimatsu
International (+32%) and Monday.com (+27%).
Steel Dynamics (+14%), adidas (+13%) and
Royalty Pharma (+11%) also contributed positively.
Brookdale Senior Living (-10%) and Zillow Group
(-21%) were the weakest performers during the
month.
We recently added a new stock to the portfolio,
Contemporary Amperex Technology (3750.HK),
recommended by Munro Partners, which is up 18%
since purchase in May. Contemporary Amperex
Technology (CATL) is the world's largest battery
cell manufacturer, holding around 39% global
market share in 2025. The company operates a
vertically integrated model spanning mining,
processing, R&D and production. It is a key supplier
to the electric vehicle industry, serving nine of the
world's top 10 manufacturers, and is a leader in
lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are
gaining market share due to their lower cost and
stronger safety profile. More insights from Munro
Partners here.
