"Long Cast Advisers returned 4% in 3Q25 and is holding 10% cash amid political and economic uncertainty. The fund remains focused on concentrated, niche-focused small and micro-cap companies like PDEX and RSSS that offer long-term compounding potential."
Executive Summary
Long Cast Advisers returned 4% in 3Q25, underperforming related small-cap indices but maintaining a strong 14% CAGR since inception. The manager highlights a cautious stance, holding 10% cash due to political and economic uncertainty, while expressing skepticism toward the speculatively driven rise in small-cap indices. Updates are provided on key portfolio positions: PDEX remains a top high-conviction holding despite recent noise; RSSS and MAMA performed well; MTRX and PESI have major positive catalysts ahead; and QRHC is a detractor facing an impending non-cash goodwill impairment. The letter closes with an investment philosophy essay defining small-company competitive advantages as defensive 'harbor' niches rather than traditional Warren Buffett-style 'moats'.
