"Alpine Capital delivered constructive performance in Q3 2025, defending mega-cap AI spending as fundamentally sound while emphasizing a disciplined, low-turnover strategy of 'active inaction' to compound long-term returns."
Executive Summary
Alpine Capital's Q3 2025 newsletter outlines a robust quarter for global equities, driven by the US Federal Reserve's first interest rate cut in September. The manager provides a strong defense of mega-cap AI infrastructure spending, asserting that it is backed by healthy cash flows and is vital to preventing enterprise obsolescence. They outline portfolio transparency by reviewing active trades (exiting MU and V, and entering/adding SOXX, LRCX, and GLXY). Emphasizing their investment philosophy of 'active inaction,' they reference Charlie Munger's early partnership to demonstrate how high-volatility, low-turnover, concentrated portfolios deliver superior long-term returns. Looking ahead, the firm expects a continuation of the Fed's rate-easing cycle but cautions against structural and cyclical risks, particularly in the South African economy.
