Quick Take
"Rozendal's Global Fund crushed its benchmark with a 42.8% return in 2025, driven by contrarian holdings, while the managers issue a stern valuation warning on gold, calling it extraordinarily expensive."
Executive Summary
Rozendal Partners delivered a stellar 42.8% return for the Global Fund in 2025, significantly outperforming its benchmark (22.6%). This performance was supported by European and Emerging Markets exposure, alongside key corporate turnarounds in Bayer and Pepco. Conversely, the Hedge Fund returned 21.7%, underperforming its 42.4% benchmark due to a painful short position on Harmony Gold during a historic precious metals rally. During the year, the firm completed profitable investment cycles in Aena and Makita, fully exiting both. It details its core behavioral investment thesis on 'exploiting myopia' and provides a highly cautious, fundamental teardown of the current gold market, arguing that gold is heavily overvalued on multiple metrics.
