"Kopernik delivered an exceptional 64.79% YTD return in 2025, capitalizing on commodity tailwinds. The manager is actively rotating profits out of gold mining into platinum, industrial metals, and selective global deep-value names."
In Q4 2025, the Kopernik Global All-Cap Fund (Class I) posted a strong 7.99% return (64.79% YTD), outperforming the MSCI ACWI. Performance was led by the materials sector, particularly PGM producers (Valterra, Impala) and both producing/non-producing gold companies. Following massive price gains across metals in 2025, the fund significantly trimmed its gold mining footprint from 15% to 9%, shifting assets into platinum and industrial metals (K+S, Vale, Glencore) where upside is more favorable. It also initiated multiple new positions globally in banking, commodities, agriculture, telecom, and media (including Bangkok Bank, BHP Group, Molina Healthcare, Meituan). Downside hedges via S&P 500 put options detracted slightly but were re-initiated at attractive implied volatility rates. Several positions were completely exited due to price appreciation or M&A, as the fund maintains disciplined capital recycling.
