BOV ASSET MANAGEMENT FUNDS DELIVER POSITIVE RESULTS IN A VOLATILE YEAR

BOV Asset Management closed 2025 with solid results across its full range of investment funds, demonstrating resilience in a year marked by heightened uncertainty and sharp swings in global financial markets.

Commenting on the performance, Peter Paul Cilia, Head of BOV Asset Management, explained, “2025 reminded investors that market volatility is part of the journey. What matters most is staying focused on long-term goals. By maintaining a disciplined approach and investing across different assets, our funds were able to remain resilient and deliver positive results despite a challenging environment.”

Global markets experienced significant ups and downs throughout the year. Nevertheless, both equity and bond markets finished 2025 in positive territory. This resilience was reflected across all funds managed by BOV Asset Management, with almost every strategy recording gains over the period.

Several funds stood out for their strong performance. The Vilhena Global Themed Fund – USD Share Class recorded a return of 18.4%, supported by its focus on long‑term global growth themes. The Vilhena European Multi‑Manager Fund and the Vilhena US Multi‑Manager Fund – USD Share Class also delivered robust outcomes, each achieving returns of just over 15%.

These funds are designed to support investors at different stages of life, whether they are building wealth, balancing growth with stability, or prioritising capital preservation.

Income-focused strategies also generated dependable outcomes during the year. The Vilhena Sterling Income Fund and the Vilhena High Yield Fund – Euro Accumulator Class Share both delivered positive returns, appealing to investors seeking regular income as part of a longer-term financial plan.
