Sandbrook Capital delivered strong March performance through successful earnings trades, with OKTA long, CRWD short, and ZGN long contributing most to gains. The fund maintains an 80%+ batting average on earnings trades and has generated approximately 900bp of annual alpha since 2022 inception through their earnings overlay strategy. Technology and consumer discretionary coverage areas underperformed broader markets through March, creating attractive entry points. The manager plans to increase net exposure from beta-neutral positioning, running more long-biased given poor risk/reward in shorting at current levels. Key opportunities exist in names with historically extreme valuations, strong cash generation, and derisked estimates that represent 18-24 month doubles. Three major catalysts being monitored include EU retaliation on big tech, companies withdrawing guidance, and major layoff announcements. The proprietary AlphaRepo platform provides real-time estimate tracking and revision insights, supporting their systematic approach to earnings-driven alpha generation. Forward focus shifts from multiple compression to earnings growth as valuations normalize.
