Fat Prophets Global Contrarian Fund Hits Record NTA on Precious Metals Rally and Portfolio Shift

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

The latest update is out from Fat Prophets Global Contrarian Fund Ltd. ( (AU:FPC) ).

Fat Prophets Global Contrarian Fund reported its strongest ever start to a year in January, with estimated pre-tax NTA per share rising to a record $2.2103 as at 28 January 2026, up 13.6% from $1.9461 at 31 December 2025, alongside FPC shares hitting new highs above $1.64. The performance was driven largely by precious metals, particularly gold, which surged to a record price, supported by a weakening US dollar that the fund expects to deteriorate further, underpinning its continued bullish stance on gold and PGMs despite near-term overbought conditions. In portfolio moves, the fund selectively increased its holding in Hong Kong-listed Chinese data-centre operator GDS Holdings, aligning with its overweight emerging markets and China thesis and its negative view on the US dollar, while trimming exposure to South Korean-founded tech and e-commerce group Coupang following operational mishaps including a customer data breach, signalling active risk management and positioning for ongoing market volatility.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:FPC) stock is a Hold with a A$1.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Fat Prophets Global Contrarian Fund Ltd. stock, see the AU:FPC Stock Forecast page.
