"Appleseed Fund remains structurally bullish on gold and real assets due to secular inflation and massive global debt, maintaining a cautious equity posture focused on defensive value."
Executive Summary
The Appleseed Fund's Q3 2025 letter presents a comprehensive defense of their long-term bullish thesis on gold, laying out ten key drivers such as robust foreign central bank demand, secular inflation, declining US global economic hegemony, low physical western gold stores, and historical undervaluation relative to the monetary base. While acknowledging key risks such as Bitcoin adoption, asteroid mining, and government confiscation, they view these as unlikely to derail the bull market. Operationally, the fund has maintained a cautious posture with under 70% equity exposure, focusing on defensive, out-of-favor value stocks with non-USD cash flows, and recently rebalanced some gains by liquidating fully valued positions to fund new additions.
