"The GA-Courtenay Special Situations Fund finished 2025 up +6.5% (+6.3% in December) led by SpaceX proxies. Rebuilt and running at 1.4x leverage, the fund is positioned for a strong 2026 using its positive-carry hedging model."
Executive Summary
The GA-Courtenay Special Situations Fund returned +6.3% in December 2025, bringing its full-year 2025 performance to +6.5%. Positive results were primarily led by core SpaceX proxies EchoStar and Filtronic. Following historic disruptions at Odey Asset Management in 2023 and the subsequent transition of the fund to GreenAsh Partners, the manager has rebuilt the fund's infrastructure, risk management systems, and financing agreements. The portfolio remains structured with an aggressive 135.9% long equity exposure, balanced by an active positive-carry hedging program (comprising S&P 500 puts and merger arbitrage yielding an estimated 6.7% net annualized carry). Looking ahead to 2026, the manager is extremely optimistic, noting that the fund is fully upgraded and ready to run in high-performance mode.
