"Jacob Funds capitalized on Q4 market volatility and tech cooling by selectively adding high-conviction growth names like Snowflake in cloud/AI infrastructure, alongside cutting-edge biotech innovators Cabaletta Bio and Prime Medicine."
Executive Summary
Jacob Asset Management's investor letter outlines a constructive market view despite a minor market correction in November driven by government shutdown concerns and interest rate uncertainty. The managers argue that actual economic spending remains strong, paving the way for corporate profitability. Within portfolios, they capitalized on recent tech cooling by adding Snowflake to the Jacob Internet Fund to leverage AI infrastructure demands. Additionally, the Jacob Discovery Fund established two key biotechnology positions in Cabaletta Bio (CAR-T for autoimmune diseases) and Prime Medicine (next-generation gene editing). The Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund added a new position in Omeros.
