"Peterson Investment Fund I delivered an outstanding 63.8% return in 2025, driven by structural re-ratings in deeply undervalued core compounders like Alibaba and Alphabet. The fund is introducing its rules-based 'Titan' cash sleeve to eliminate cash drag and maintain offensive flexibility."
Executive Summary
Peterson Investment Fund I (PIFI) achieved an exceptional 63.8% net return in 2025, significantly outperforming the S&P 500's 17.9%. The fund's performance was driven by key compounders like Alphabet, Naspers, and Alibaba, which saw significant valuation re-ratings. The manager emphasizes behavioral discipline, warning against complacency after a strong year and detailing the deployment of 'Titan Strategic Income,' a formalized cash management vehicle designed to eliminate cash drag while keeping liquidity available. He maintains that true compounding operates across decades rather than quarters and reiterates his value-focused, low-turnover investment philosophy.
