"Driven by gains in Softbank and aerospace. Entering 2026, they are highly constructive on South Korean corporate reforms and are initiating shorts against viral consumer fads."
Executive Summary
In their 2025 Annual Letter, Arnott Capital reported an 11.22% net return, highlighted by strong performance in their 'Data is the New Oil' (Softbank Group) and 'Aerospace' themes. The fund actively manages exposures by trimming positions in over-complicated areas (such as Longevity/Novo Nordisk) and adding to areas with favorable policy changes like UK Housing. Moving into 2026, the fund is constructive on South Korean corporate reform following critical legislative changes to the Commercial Code. Additionally, they have introduced a 'Social Obsolescence' short theme targeting fleeting, algorithmically driven consumer trends like Popmart and American Eagle Outfitters.
