“We also added Sprouts Farmers Market, a $7.6 billion US-based health-focused grocer, specialising in fresh and organic products. Its farmers market-style stores emphasise fresh produce in a market with high ultra- processed food consumption and obesity rates, aligning with our healthier foods theme. The company aims to grow its store base from 470 by c.10% per annum over the long term. Same-store sales decelerated following a strong late 2024/early 2025 period, providing an attractive entry point relative to its history and mature supermarket peers. This is the first time the fund has held a stock within the consumer staple sector.”

“On the downside, 3i Group experienced significant underperformance, driven by idiosyncratic factors rather than broad market trends. Despite the company announcing a 10% dividend increase and a £1 billion commitment to new UK and European deals, sentiment reversed after management flagged a more cautious outlook. Sprouts Farmers Market detracted from returns after it missed revenue estimates and issued weak guidance for quarterly same-store sales growth.”
