Executive Summary
In its Q3 2025 investor update, Jackson Peak Capital reported a net return of -2.9% for the quarter, bringing its year-to-date (YTD) net return to +60.4%. The fund underperformed the MSCI ACWI, which gained +7.5%, and the HFRX Equity Hedge Index, which rose +3.8% during the period. The manager described Q3 2025 as an unusual period characterized by speculative sectors maintaining an unrelenting bid upward, driven by momentum rather than fundamentals or macro developments. At the end of Q3, the fund's net exposure was 55%, split largely between the US and Europe. A key focus was the AI infrastructure power supply chain, particularly high-performance computing companies that pivoted from bitcoin mining. The fund also allocated significant exposure to high-conviction event-driven positions, including Confluent (CFLT), its largest holding at quarter-end. Other key positions discussed include Tesla (TSLA) as a positive contributor, and UnitedHealth (UNH), Trade Desk (TTD) as a short, and Gitlab (GTLB) as performance detractors. Looking ahead, the manager advises caution, warning that the market is currently pricing in substantial good news with little room for disappointment, setting the stage for potential pullbacks.
