"Riverwater's Micro Opportunities Strategy faced headwinds in 2025 by refusing to participate in speculative, lower-quality market rallies, but enters 2026 highly constructive on a fundamental quality rotation supported by Federal Reserve rate cuts."
The Micro Opportunities Strategy underperformed its benchmark in Q4 and full-year 2025 due to its underweight exposure to highly speculative market segments (biotech, crypto, and select AI themes) which drove index returns. Riverwater remains dedicated to its disciplined quality-first approach. Notable portfolio moves included exiting Centrus Energy (LEU) on full valuation and National CineMedia (NCMI) due to weak theatrical advertising, while acquiring a new position in Natural Gas Services (NGS). The fund is strongly constructive on the outlook for 2026, anticipating that easing interest rates and a shift toward fundamentals will favor its high-quality micro-cap holdings.
