"The ARAR Fund continues to outperform with a 31% USD YTD return, selectively buying extremely cheap Chinese ADRs like Jiayin Group while sounding an urgent alarm on unpriced political and autocratic risks in the US market."
The ARAR Fund reports strong performance, gaining 31% YTD in USD terms. Key portfolio transactions include exiting Orezone (Burkina Faso) due to nationalization threats, trimming Imperial Petroleum near warrant execution levels, and adding to Jiayin Group. The manager views recent Chinese regulations on consumer lending as manageable. A substantial portion of the letter is dedicated to criticizing the political landscape in the US, warning of a potential transition to autocracy under Trump and concluding that US equity premiums are dangerously unjustified relative to cheaper European and Asian peers.
