"Warden Capital finished 2025 flat at 0.8% due to drag from its short book and value assets, but sees highly asymmetric upside in its top holdings: Vail Resorts, Alexandria Real Estate, and biotech play uniQure."
Warden Capital reported a flat 0.8% net return for 2025, underperforming the S&P 500's ~17.08% and the REIT index's 2.87%. The weak performance was driven by defensive positioning (including a large short book) and poor performance in value-oriented investments. However, the manager remains highly confident in current positioning. The fund's largest holdings include Vail Resorts (MTN), Alexandria Real Estate (ARE), and uniQure (QURE). The manager outlines a cautious macro thesis focused on an AI Capex bubble, highlighting stalling web traffic metrics for OpenAI's products. Meanwhile, commercial real estate remains soft across most sub-sectors, and the manager is increasingly allocating to high-conviction biotech opportunities.
