Executive Summary

Upslope Capital Management delivered +2.0% net return in Q4 2025 and +14.8% for FY 2025, outperforming the S&P Midcap 400 ETF. The manager notes that widespread gambling and AI-driven workflows are accelerating market speeds, creating long-term opportunities for detail-oriented stock pickers. Gross exposure is elevated at 174% (due to hedges in Alphabet and Intel) with a cautious 40% net beta-adjusted exposure. Significant portfolio activity includes new or expanded positions in Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH), Crown Holdings (CCK), Fanuc (6954.T), and Henry Schein (HSIC), alongside complete exits from Chemring and West Pharmaceutical.
