"Warden Capital has shifted to a defensive, cash-heavy, and short-heavy posture, warning of a severe market mania in AI and quantum computing that is disconnected from a softening real economy."
In the Q3 2025 update, Warden Capital reports a 4.57% return for the quarter (2.32% YTD), underperforming the S&P 500 but maintaining significant outperformance since inception. Due to signs of systemic market mania, the fund has adopted a highly defensive stance with elevated cash and active short positions, including shorts on overvalued quantum computing companies. The manager details a structural mismatch in the AI sector, where capital expenditures are growing at a rate that vastly outpaces actual startup revenues. Simultaneously, real-world economic indicators—such as multifamily housing deliveries, single-family construction starts, manufacturing indices, and hiring—show broad deterioration. The manager concludes that a severe recession is a high-probability outcome when the tech bubble inevitably bursts, likely around 2026.
