"LVS Advisory underperformed the S&P 500 in 2025 with a 6.2% return in its Growth Portfolio due to a Q4 drop in Netflix and zero semiconductor exposure, while capitalizing on strong M&A dynamics to launch a new Levered Event-Driven strategy."
LVS Advisory's investor letter for the full year 2025 outlines key performance results and major strategic updates. The LVS Event-Driven Portfolio achieved a 9.1% net return in 2025 (70.7% since its 2019 inception), leading to the launch of a new Levered Event-Driven strategy in October 2025 backed by a family office to capture lucrative M&A and regulatory environments. Conversely, the LVS Growth Portfolio returned 6.2% in 2025, underperforming its S&P 500 benchmark (+17.9%). The underperformance was primarily driven by an 8.2% decline in Q4, caused by a 21.8% sell-off in major holding Netflix (due to its proposed $83 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery) and a total absence of semiconductor exposure. In response to AI risks, the manager completely liquidated the fund's software basket, preferring instead to hold scaled, customer-owning tech platforms (Google, Amazon, Meta). The manager concludes with a cautious outlook on S&P 500 index concentration and remains focused on idiosyncratic, high-conviction ideas.
