"Driven by gold and semiconductors. The fund is now taking profits in tech and actively redeploying capital into depressed European value opportunities and UK housing."
Executive Summary
VG1 Global Investments returned 13.2% for the September 2025 quarter, outperforming global benchmarks. Key contributors included surging gold equities (up 40-45%) and AI-linked semiconductor positions (TSMC, SK Hynix, Samsung). To manage risk, the team trimmed semiconductor holdings on valuation concerns and reduced exposure to mega-cap tech (notably Meta), while maintaining Amazon as a core holding. Short positions like Brinker International contributed positively as momentum faded. Looking forward, the fund is shifting attention to Europe, researching cyclical value plays, 'AI-labelled losers', and depressed UK housing opportunities.
