"Upslope achieved an impressive +8.8% net return in Q3 2025 but remains highly cautious on broader equity markets, deploying capital defensively into unloved healthcare and South Korean defense names."
Upslope Capital Management's Q3 2025 investor update highlights a strong quarterly net return of +8.8% (+12.5% YTD), outperforming key benchmarks. Gains were driven by AI hedges (GOOGL, INTC), the M&A takeout of Intermex, and core defensive longs. Despite performance success, the manager maintains a highly cautious outlook, raising 'white flags' on extended equity valuations and market speculation. Portfolio positioning reflects this bearish posture, characterized by a modest net long exposure of 31% (gross exposure of 151%), significant downside protection, and newly established defensive long positions in healthcare (STERIS, West Pharma, Bio-Rad) and South Korean defense (PLUS Korea Defense Industry ETF).
