"Rocklinc delivered strong Q3 returns driven by precious metals royalties and announced the launch of its first active ETF (RKLC), while maintaining a cautious cash cushion (18%) to hedge against a potential correction driven by global debt and overvalued AI stocks."
Executive Summary
In their Q3 2025 letter, ROCKLINC announced the upcoming launch of their first active ETF, the Rocklinc Principled Equity Fund (RKLC), on the TSX. The firm delivered strong quarterly returns, with Separately Managed Accounts up 9.2% and the Rocklinc Partners Fund up 9.7% in Q3. The primary driver of outperformance was the portfolio's significant allocation to precious metals royalty companies, supported by gold prices hitting record highs over US$4,200. The letter features a substantial policy-driven critique of Canadian federal regulation, attributing capital flight and a decade of declining GDP per capita to liberal policies. Rocklinc warns of systemic risks from global debt ($337 trillion) and overvalued US tech stocks, concluding with a reaffirmation of their values-driven, active, and cautious investment principles.
