"The Oak Bloke's surviving 2024 ideas generated a solid 13% total return in 2025, driven by massive gains in Georgia Capital and Agronomics. The manager remains highly constructive on these deep-value picks heading into 2026."
Executive Summary
The Oak Bloke reviews the 2025 performance of his surviving 2024 investment ideas. The portfolio generated a total return of 13.0% in 2025 (comprising a 9.5% average capital gain and 3.5% in dividends), outperforming his overall 4.0% return last year. Top contributors included Georgia Capital (+159%), Agronomics (+60%), and Baker Steel Resources Trust (+38.4%). These gains offset steep declines in several bombed-out picks, notably Digital 9 Infrastructure (-69%), Kazera Global (-30%), and PetroTal (-26.8%). Looking forward into 2026, the manager remains highly optimistic about the deep-value opportunities in these names, expecting buybacks, asset realizations (e.g., Bolt.EU IPO), and commercial developments (e.g., Liberation Bioindustries) to drive massive value.
