"JB Global Capital delivered a stellar 67.5% return in 2025 despite a Q4 pullback in Alibaba, staying firmly committed to deep contrarian value plays like Clorox while shunning the US tech bubble."
Executive Summary
In Q4 2025, the JB Global Capital Fund fell 8.9% due to a 25% geopolitical-driven drawdown in its largest holding, Alibaba, but finished the full year up 67.5%—significantly outperforming the S&P 500 and VT World Index. The fund maintains its deliberate stance against high-flying US AI stocks due to valuation concerns, pointing to Amazon's post-2000 peak as a cautionary tale. During the quarter, the fund trimmed its Alibaba position slightly and initiated a high-conviction position in Clorox at $104 per share, capitalizing on a botched ERP implementation that depressed the stock to a decade-low valuation. The fund remains highly concentrated, with its top three positions accounting for 82% of assets.
