"Creek Drive Capital Management delivered an exceptional 73.9% net return in 2025, driven by strong performance in its concentrated long book (led by SPHR) and key opportunistic trades, while successfully scaling assets past $150 million."
Executive Summary
Creek Drive Capital Management reported a strong full-year 2025 performance, achieving a 73.9% net return (94.8% gross) and scaling its assets to over $150 million. The long book contributed +6,010 bps (roughly two-thirds of gross returns), led by Sphere Entertainment (up 138% over the year) and a >10% position in GameStop, alongside several new biotech additions. The arbitrage and opportunistic sleeve contributed the remaining third of returns, buoyed by a long-volatility position in Alphabet (+630 bps) and the Core Scientific / CoreWeave merger (+550 bps), but partially offset by a mistimed MicroStrategy/Bitcoin trust arbitrage. Operationally, the fund is completing its first full audit, transitioning to SEC registration, onboarding new prime brokers (Cantor Fitzgerald, Clear Street), and considering reopening to new capital in H2 2026.
