Quick Take
"Bireme Capital delivered a strong 33% return in 2025 by shorting bloated US tech stocks and buying cheap international equities, a strategy they are aggressive with as US institutions undergo rapid decay."
Executive Summary
Bireme Capital's Fundamental Value fund returned 33.0% net in 2025, significantly outperforming the S&P 500's 17.7%. The letter presents a deeply cautious view of US equity markets, pointing to speculative 'vibe investing,' concentration risk, and structural overvaluation. Concurrently, Bireme details a severe critique of institutional decay under the second Trump administration—including erosion of the rule of law, attacks on the Federal Reserve, anti-science appointments, and cronyism. To capitalize on this, Bireme is shorting overpriced US giants (such as Apple) and investing heavily in inexpensive, high-quality global companies. The letter highlights successful international long ideas in telecom, toll-road infrastructure, semiconductor supply chain, and software distribution.
