The Nutshell Growth Fund GBP IF returned 7.03% in May. May saw global equity markets advance further, supported by a strong corporate earnings season and continued investment in AI infrastructure. Technology and growth stocks led gains as companies reaffirmed long-term spending plans and earnings expectations remained resilient. Investor sentiment was further supported by easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, allowing markets to focus on fundamentals.

Thanks to Darius McDermott for highlighting Mark Ellis and the Nutshell Growth Fund in a recent Trustnet article, discussing whether global equity funds should become “more global” in today’s changing market environment.

Mark Ellis noted the depth and breadth of opportunities in US equities remains difficult to ignore, particularly when it comes to quality businesses and innovation leadership.

Interesting discussion from a range of respected managers on benchmark awareness, concentration risk, and the evolving investment landscape.

The Nutshell Growth Fund GBP IF returned 5.37% in April. This month saw a partial stabilisation in global equity markets, with volatility moderating as investor sentiment improved from March lows. Growth and technology stocks began to recover, supported by resilient earnings and renewed optimism around AI-related investment. Geopolitical tensions remained elevated but less escalatory, allowing markets to refocus on fundamentals. Quality Growth continues to present attractive value, with strong cash generation and earnings durability underpinning long-term return potential.

The Nutshell Growth Fund GBP IF returned -4.01% in March. March was characterised by heightened volatility and weaker global equity markets, as risk sentiment deteriorated over the course of the month. Growth and technology stocks remained under pressure, while the escalation of the Iran conflict added to uncertainty and reinforced a more defensive market backdrop. This contributed to broad-based selling across equities, with few areas of the market offering meaningful shelter. Quality Growth continues to offer a compelling opportunity, with the current portfolio trading at a significant discount to the market in terms of P/E multiple and Free Cashflow yield despite materially superior fundamental factors.

The Nutshell Growth fund can serve as “the growth engine” of a JISA, according to Sheridan Admans, founder of Infundly.

In a recent Trustnet feature on Junior ISA fund ideas to help offset rising university costs, our approach was highlighted for its focus on long-term growth combined with sensible risk control.

As university costs continue to rise, the article highlights how combining growth-focused strategies with more defensive allocations can help families plan ahead over the long term.

The Nutshell Growth Fund GBP IF returned -4.57% in February. The month was characterised by heightened volatility and an increasingly indiscriminate sell-off across global IT and software equities. Investors continued to favour Value over Quality-Growth. Notably, Quality has experienced one of its weakest starts to a calendar year relative to Value in recent history, adding further pressure to high-quality growth businesses. In the IT Sector, the drawdown was broad-based, with limited distinction between structurally profitable, cash-generative businesses and more speculative names. Multiple compression, rather than fundamental deterioration, drove performance.

More broadly, macro uncertainty persisted through the month, while risk sentiment deteriorated further late in the period following US’s military incursion in the Middle East, prompting a defensive shift across global equity markets into month-end.

“Valuations across software are at or near all-time cheapness, and many market leaders are well positioned to use AI to further entrench, rather than erode, their competitive moats.”

In the piece, Mark Ellis shares clear insight on the recent sell-off across software and AI-exposed equities following major AI developments - and why the longer-term picture may be more compelling than the headlines suggest.

A timely perspective on market volatility, valuation resets, and how AI may ultimately strengthen - not weaken - leading businesses.

The Nutshell Growth Fund GBP IF returned 0.50% in December. December saw markets adjust to shifting policy expectations following a Federal Reserve rate cut, with investor focus turning to the pace and extent of further easing in 2026. Global equities traded mixed, with heightened volatility in technology stocks and signs of sector rotation, while traditional year-end ‘Santa rally’ dynamics ultimately failed to materialise.

Broader market breadth weakened late in the month despite a strong full-year performance for US equities. Moderating inflation trends across several regions helped ease pressure on policymakers and shaped positioning into year-end.

The Nutshell Growth Fund GBP IF returned -2.53% in November. Global equities were volatile but broadly flat in November. During the month there was profit taking on mega-cap tech tied to investor concerns of high valuations and whether expensive AI-driven investments will ever pay off.

However, optimism around potential Fed rate cuts and a strong earnings season helped boost sentiment resulting in a sharp rebound at month end.

Global equities extended gains in October as a Fed rate cut and softer inflation reinforced expectations of a soft landing. AI and tech sectors led performance, supported by strong earnings and renewed investor inflows.

While U.S. data softened and policy uncertainty lingered, optimism around easing financial conditions and resilient global growth kept risk sentiment positive. The Nutshell Growth Fund GBP IF returned 2.75% in October.

In his latest interview with FE Trustnet's Matteo Anelli, Mark Ellis discusses the process behind the Nutshell Growth Fund’s consistent outperformance - and why it’s unlike anything else in the IA Global sector!

'In a crowded sector where trackers seem to have the upper hand, Nutshell Growth, launched in 2019, was in the 29th percentile over the past five years against its peers and rose to the fourth and 16th percentile over three and one year, respectively'....

“We recalibrate the portfolio from scratch twice a month, ensuring we’re deploying capital to the best stocks for the best possible price.”

“On average, we’ve added 5.9% per annum from all this extra work — all while keeping total trading costs to just 20 basis points.”

“Our internal model captures 37 different factors — around 60% quality, 20% valuation, and the rest growth — giving us a live, data-driven picture of where the best opportunities are globally.”

Global equity markets continued to hit new all-time highs in September, as AI enthusiasm, resilient earnings growth, and a rate cutting Fed outweighed typically weak seasonality and broader macro concerns.

While recent softness in U.S. employment data and the government shutdown pose near-term risks, we expect the investment backdrop in Q4 to remain favourable. The Nutshell Growth Fund GBP IF returned 1.57% in September.
