- YCG Enhanced Fund (YCGEX) is a mutual fund managed by YCG, LLC that seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation consistent with reasonable investment risk through a concentrated, long-term investment approach focused on global champions with enduring pricing power, long-term volume growth opportunities, ownership-minded management teams, and conservative capitalization. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities without regard to market capitalization, including mid- and smaller-cap companies, and enhances returns through the sale of cash-secured puts and covered calls on a portion of its long equity portfolio; as of September 30, 2025, it holds 32 equities, 12 options positions, and 22 treasuries, with top holdings including Microsoft Corp. (8.9%), Mastercard Inc. (6.9%), Moody's Corp. (6.3%), Amazon.com (4.9%), and Hermes International SCA (4.9%), and sector weightings led by financials (32.7%), information technology (21.3%), and industrials (18.1%). Net assets stand at $572.6 million, with a low turnover ratio of 10.38%, reflecting a buy-and-hold strategy.
YCG, LLC, founded in 2007 and headquartered at 3207 Ranch Road 620 South, Suite 200, Austin, Texas, serves as the investment adviser to the Fund, which was incepted on December 28, 2012, and also manages separate accounts for high-net-worth individuals, financial advisors, and institutions, with total firm assets of approximately $1.54 billion as of September 30, 2025.
The Fund targets investors seeking high risk-adjusted returns via active global equity management and maintains a non-diversified portfolio exposed to individual stock volatility, benchmarked against the S&P 500 Index and S&P Global Broad Market Index.
In recent developments, the Fund has continued portfolio diversification by increasing positions in holdings such as Fair Isaac Corp. (FICO), CRH plc, and Ferrari N.V. as of June 30, 2025, while emphasizing resilience amid economic and geopolitical risks through investments in companies with untapped pricing power and conservative capital structures; the adviser extended its expense limitation agreement through April 1, 2026, capping net operating expenses at 1.19% (with a lifetime cap of 1.39%), and updated its prospectus as of March 31, 2025, to reflect ongoing fee waivers and reimbursements.
