"The fund posted a flat +0.15% return in 3Q 2025, underperforming the broader market due to its cautious sideline stance on highly-valued AI chipmakers, preferring instead to hold cash-rich hyperscalers and cash flow compounders."
In 3Q 2025, the Partners III Opportunity Fund’s Institutional Class achieved a modest return of +0.15%, trailing the Bloomberg 3000 Index’s +8.25%. The underperformance was largely driven by a barbell distribution of portfolio returns and a cautious stance that kept the fund sidelined on high-performing pure-play AI chipmakers (such as Nvidia and Broadcom). Instead, the fund prioritized durable hyperscalers (Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft) that fund their AI investments through strong core cash flows. Key positive performance contributors included Alphabet and Perimeter Solutions, while Liberty Broadband and CarMax acted as the primary detractors. Portfolio adjustments involved trimming positions in Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Perimeter Solutions, adding to Global Payments, and onboarding GCI Liberty via a corporate spin-off.
