"Curreen Capital posted 9% returns in Q3 by rotating from Enhabit into higher-conviction opportunities like Kontoor, which is executing a growth strategy following its Helly Hansen acquisition. The manager continues focusing on undervalued small-cap companies with strong cash generation, particularly spinoffs and turnarounds, while maintaining discipline around position sizing and capital allocation."
Curreen Capital delivered a 9% return in Q3 2025, driven by active portfolio management and opportunistic position sizing. The manager sold Enhabit due to deteriorating Medicare reimbursement headwinds and redeployed capital into higher-conviction opportunities including Kontoor, which recently acquired Helly Hansen and appears to be returning to a growth strategy reminiscent of its former parent VF Corp. The fund added to existing positions in GetBusy after management signaled material acceleration in their SmartVault business, backed by insider buying from executives. New positions were established in Thinkific, a Canadian online course platform transitioning to higher-value customers, and small additions were made to Pluxee. Credit Acceptance was trimmed despite remaining a quality business with aggressive share buybacks, as the manager preferred to allocate capital to companies with better growth prospects. The portfolio demonstrates a focus on well-managed cash-generating businesses, many of which are spinoffs or turnaround situations trading at attractive risk-adjusted valuations.

Algorithmic conviction, macroeconomic posture, and risk appetite signals extracted from this quarterly letter with qualitative explanations.
Market Conviction
Assigned 0.70. The manager demonstrates high-conviction behavior by conducting primary research tours (e.g., Goderich salt mine), using customized AI tools to analyze SEC filing databases for DFIN, and maintaining a concentrated list of strategic actions (exiting 3 positions, initiating 1). However, specific position sizing details or a highly concentrated target number of holdings are not explicitly detailed.
Growth Outlook
Assigned 0.25. The manager is highly cautious about the broader US equity market's "historically stretched valuations" and "speculative froth," comparing modern AI and crypto dynamics to the late-1990s dot-com bubble.
Risk Appetite
Assigned 0.35. The manager is actively reducing exposure in high-multiple names, stating they are "strategically trimming some holdings" like NVIDIA and Corning, and exiting positions like Lazard where risk-reward is no longer compelling.
Capital Deployment
Assigned 0.30. The firm was a net seller during the quarter, exiting three positions (DFIN, LAZ, CSCCF) while initiating only one new holding (MODG), indicating a defensive capital-harvesting posture.
Forward Guidance
Assigned 0.40. While the manager did initiate a position in Topgolf Callaway Brands (MODG), their overall action bias leans toward caution, trimming winners, harvesting gains from cyclical run-ups (Capstone Copper), and closely monitoring the risk of structural declines.
Language Signal
Assigned 0.30. The language in the letter is dominated by words like "caution," "froth," "bubble," "overheating," "risk," and "warning," with occasional optimistic terms reserved only for specific turnaround ideas.
Perceived Risk
Assigned 0.85. The manager perceives market risk to be extremely high, highlighting systemic threats from a potential $600B capex overbuild, leverage risks, and rapid sentiment reversals in the $3.9T crypto market.
Opportunity Density
Assigned 0.45. The opportunity set is presented as sparse and highly selective. The manager cautions that "many AI stocks appear priced for perfection," forcing them to look into idiosyncratic turnarounds or specialized niches.
Time Horizon
Assigned 0.75. The manager explicitly advocates for a "steady commitment to rational, long-term investing" and evaluates holdings (like DFIN) over multi-year cycles (~3.5 years).
