"The Micro Opportunities Strategy navigated Q3 2025 by adhering to a quality-first approach, trailing a speculative momentum rally but adding key new positions in community banking, network security, and specialty agriculture."
Executive Summary
For Q3 2025, the Micro Opportunities Strategy achieved solid absolute returns but trailed its benchmark due to a market rally led by lower-quality, high-beta names. Materials was the strongest sector, driven by Uranium Royalty Corp (UROY) amidst accelerating global nuclear and AI data center power demand. Healthcare holdings, particularly Iradimed Corp (IRMD), also provided solid contributions. In contrast, the Consumer Discretionary sector was tactically underweight due to weakening consumer credit metrics. The fund initiated three new positions: Avidia Bancorp, Allot, and American Vanguard Corporation, while exiting Aris Water Solutions following its buyout. The manager expresses high conviction in the portfolio's quality-focused positioning heading into 2026.
