"The Hirschmann Partnership delivered exceptional H2 2025 returns through its ultra-bearish, 100%+ concentrated allocation to Gold Mining Equities. The manager argues a severe US sovereign debt crisis is mathematically inevitable and positions GMEs as the ultimate asymmetric hedge."
In its H2 2025 investor letter, Hirschmann Capital reports substantial outperformance for the Hirschmann Partnership, with Class A and Class B returning 63.2% and 67.3% respectively, versus 11.9% for the S&P 500. The fund executes an ultra-bearish strategy, maintaining over 100% exposure to Gold Mining Equities (GMEs). Managing Partner Brian Hirschmann argues that a US sovereign debt crisis is highly probable as the nation's debt exceeds 120% of GDP, a threshold that has historically led to default in all net debtor nations. He contrasts current elevated gold allocations (~6%) with the ~11% peak in 1980 and asserts that the upcoming crisis will be worse, potentially pushing gold allocations to new highs. The letter highlights GMEs as highly undervalued, stating they should more than triple as they advance to production and converge with intrinsic values, making them far more attractive than gold bullion or risky equity shorts.
