"Pelican Bay Capital Management delivered 7.8% in Q3 2025, beating its benchmark by 2.5%, driven by gold miners and technology. The fund proactively rotated capital, initiating positions in ELV and ODFL while completely exiting Kinsale Capital."
In Q3 2025, Pelican Bay Capital Management's Concentrated Value portfolio gained 7.8%, outperforming the Russell 1000 Value Index by 2.5%. Performance was led by gold miners (Barrick Mining up 60%) and AI tech holdings (Micron up 36%, Alphabet up 41%). Active management actions included trimming Alphabet as it reached intrinsic value, and fully selling Kinsale Capital over unreserved litigation risks. The capital was redeployed into new, high-conviction positions in LTL market leader Old Dominion Freight Line (ODFL) and health insurer Elevance Health (ELV), both acquired at deep discounts due to temporary industry headwinds.
