"The 13D Activist Fund refreshed its portfolio in Q4 by rotating out of five completed or stalled campaigns and deploying capital into five high-potential activist situations in the US and Japan."
Executive Summary
In Q4 2025, the 13D Activist Fund returned 0.40%, trailing the Russell 2000. Despite a growth-dominated environment throughout 2025, the level of global shareholder activism continues to break records. To capitalize on this, the fund has refined its portfolio construction, exiting five stagnant positions (Asbury, Janus Henderson, Match Group, Performance Food Group, Qorvo) and adding five high-conviction US and Japanese activist campaigns: Ebara Corporation, Kansai Electric Power, Integer Holdings, Six Flags, and WEX.
