"Apis Flagship Fund gained 55.1% net in 2025, driven by strong international stock selection and a structural bias toward cheap, underfollowed small-cap companies outside the U.S."
The Apis Flagship Fund delivered a strong performance in 2025, finishing the year up 55.1% net (and 10.0% net in Q4), outperforming the MSCI ACWI benchmark by 33.0% for the full year. Key performance drivers included robust stock selection in longs (led by Celcuity and memory semiconductor companies like Kioxia) and solid short-side contributions (such as C3.ai). Strategically, the fund capitalized on a broader market rotation in which U.S. equities underperformed international markets, supporting the fund's structural bias towards non-U.S. small-cap names, particularly in Korea and Japan. Moving forward, the fund is shifting its defense and electrification exposures into smaller companies with niche IP and expanding cyclicals exposure in European building materials and mining, confident in its evergreen global approach as firmwide assets surpassed the $1 billion milestone.
