"Fairlight Alpha Fund outperformed the market in Q3 2025 with a 16.8% return, driven by cheap junior gold miners and a major marine engineering turnaround, while implementing cautious hedges against a potential AI infrastructure overbuild."
Fairlight Alpha Fund delivered a strong Q3 2025 return of 16.8% net of fees, significantly outperforming the S&P 500's 8.1%. Since inception, the fund has gained 814.1% (39.9% annualized). Key performance drivers included junior gold miners benefiting from gold rising to $4,020/oz, such as Monument Mining and Serabi Gold. The fund detailed its investment thesis for Beng Kuang Marine (BEZ.SI), an ignored Singapore turnaround trading at mid-single digit multiples despite transforming into a highly cash-generative business. Looking at macro themes, the manager drew deep historical parallels between the current AI boom and the telecom infrastructure bubble of 2000, warning of impending compute overcapacity. Consequently, the fund has integrated defensive AI-adjacent infrastructure plays (Smith Midland, Perma-Pipe) and initiated a small, selective short position via long put options.
