"A frustrating Q4 2025 drawdown (-13.3%) driven by a 30% concentration in Kneat and leveraged options losses prompts the manager to implement strict position limits, curb options usage, and refocus on core quality holdings."
Executive Summary
Ghosh Capital's Q4 2025 investor letter reviews a challenging quarter where the portfolio fell 13.3% (underperforming the S&P 500 and Nasdaq), bringing full-year 2025 returns to 12.6%. The primary detractors were a 30% concentration in Kneat (which fell 35% on delayed ARR deals) and leveraged options in Wix and Clearwater Analytics. Due to the high risk of leverage, the manager sold both Wix and Clearwater at a loss before a buyout of Clearwater could materialize. Key portfolio adjustments going forward include setting strict limits on position sizes, restricting options usage, and sticking to high-quality, high-conviction businesses.
