"Merion Road Capital posted 5.0% in its Small Cap Fund for Q3 2025, driven by a strong run in KTOS, while initiating new high-conviction positions in AMWD and a BELFA/BELFB share class arbitrage."
In Q3 2025, the Merion Road Small Cap Fund returned 5.0% and the MRCM Long Only Large Cap Fund returned 10.1%. Key performance drivers included Kratos (KTOS), which nearly doubled on defense drone tailwinds, prompting the manager to trim the position. The manager re-established a position in Victory Capital (VCTR), highlighting its Amundi US acquisition synergies. In the Small Cap Fund, the manager was highly active, initiating positions in American Woodmark (AMWD) due to its merger with Masterbrand (MBC) and attractive domestic tariff protections. Additionally, a new capital structure arbitrage position was initiated in Bel Fuse (BELFA/BELFB) based on widening share-class discounts and an increased probability of collapsing the share structure.
