"Hirschmann Capital reports spectacular YTD performance (+130.4% Class A) driven by its gold mining exposure, while maintaining an ultra-bearish posture primed for the burst of the US market superbubble."
Hirschmann Capital's October 2024 update highlights exceptional year-to-date performance, with Class A and Class B appreciating 130.4% and 147.4% respectively, outperforming the S&P 500's 16.0% return over the same period. Despite running an ultra-bearish strategy designed to profit from a market downturn, the fund has successfully outperformed the S&P 500 since its inception (annualizing at 17.3% for Class A vs. 13.8% for the index). Managing Partner Brian Hirschmann remains highly bullish on the fund's portfolio of undervalued gold mining equities, anticipating a dramatic rise in gold prices when the US superbubble inevitably bursts.
