Executive Summary
Bengal Capital's Q4/FY 2025 letter reports a 20% return for the quarter, but a -12% return for the full fiscal year. Performance was buoyed by anticipation of President Trump's Schedule 3 executive order, though gains retraced. The fund highlights Grown Rogue's strong New Jersey performance and its strategic takeover of a facility in Illinois to accelerate entry. They also address the slow-moving regulatory process of cannabis rescheduling, utilizing Kalshi betting markets as a useful guide for timing (projecting S3 in 2026/2027). Finally, they share positive progress on their private reinsurance investment, LadderRe.
