"The fund generated a strong 72.15% return in FY 2025 by navigating a challenging short environment, capitulating on AI infrastructure shorts, and pivoting towards defensive healthcare and high-conviction value longs."
Rodrigo's Q4 and FY 2025 review details a period of rebuilding confidence. The fund achieved an impressive FY 2025 return of 72.15% (VAMI of 1,721.49 against a 1,000 baseline). Key actions during the quarter included closing painful short positions in AI infrastructure names (like ORCL) after realizing the theme's momentum was too powerful to fight. Rodrigo highlights a suspected bubble in gold and silver driven by financial bids rather than fundamental demand. On the long side, defensive healthcare holdings (TEVA, REGN) performed well, and a new position was initiated in Kits Eyecare (KITS.TO). Conversely, speculative biotech and growth bets (QURE, SLNO, TWST) underperformed, prompting exits or position reductions.
