"Kathmandu Capital generated an exceptional 45.60% net return in 2025 by capturing AI-infrastructure and 'U.S. vs. China' tension trends, while keeping 35% of assets in cash and gold as a prudent macro hedge."
Kathmandu Capital's Q4 2025 letter reports outstanding performance, returning 10.85% net (13.65% gross) for the quarter, and 45.60% net (52.04% gross) for the full year 2025, substantially beating benchmarks. The manager discusses the intensification of AI capex concerns and geopolitical 'U.S. vs. China' competition as key themes. The fund has built a dedicated 'Tension Basket' including companies like Vicor, ACM Research, Lumentum, and Huntington Ingalls. At the same time, the manager maintains a cautious buffer, ending the quarter with 35% of the portfolio in gold and cash to hedge inflation. Structurally, the fund is shifting toward a flexible, multi-discipline approach that co-exists across value, growth, and momentum to maximize absolute returns.
