The latest announcement is out from Glennon Small Companies Ltd ( (AU:GC1) ).

In December 2025, the Glennon Small Companies Portfolio delivered a -2.49% return, underperforming the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index, which gained 1.42%, as its overweight exposure to lower‑momentum industrial names lagged a strong rally in resource-focused small caps. Performance was dragged by notable declines in Pro Medicus, Generation Development Group and Superloop amid profit-taking, mixed operational updates and softer revenue guidance, while EQ Resources, Benjamin Hornigold and IVE Group provided some support on the back of positive exploration results, resilient operations and seasonal demand. The manager kept trading activity measured and cash within target ranges, reiterating a positioning bias toward high‑quality, cash‑generative businesses and signalling that ongoing volatility and the divergence between small resources and small industrials may create selective opportunities for patient investors across both segments of the market.
