"Mott Capital trimmed its Alphabet position and raised cash to 25% due to concerns over massive AI CapEx spending, while selectively buying out-of-favor healthcare plays like Grail."
In the Q3 2025 update, Mott Capital Management's Thematic Growth Strategy reported a YTD return of +5.68%, underperforming the S&P 500 Total Return Index's +14.83%. Founder Michael Kramer detailed strategic shifts driven by growing concerns over massive AI-related CapEx spending at mega-cap holdings like Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon. To mitigate cash flow risks, Kramer trimmed Alphabet to a 5% portfolio weight. Capital was instead redeployed into out-of-favor healthcare positions, notably increasing Grail to a 5% position following positive cancer-test data. The strategy enters Q4 with a highly defensive posture, holding approximately 25% of its assets in cash.
