Quick Take
"Curreen Capital posted 9% returns in Q3 through active portfolio management, selling Enhabit due to Medicare headwinds and buying Kontoor after its Helly Hansen acquisition. The concentrated portfolio focuses on spinoffs and turnarounds trading at attractive risk-adjusted valuations, with management teams executing capital allocation strategies including buybacks and strategic acquisitions."
Executive Summary
Curreen Capital delivered a 9% return in Q3 2025, driven by active portfolio management and strategic repositioning. The fund sold its Enhabit position due to worsening Medicare reimbursement headwinds and redeployed capital into Computacenter, Fortrea, VF Corp, and 4imprint. Later in the quarter, the manager reduced Credit Acceptance to fund a significant position in Kontoor, which recently acquired Helly Hansen and appears to be executing a growth strategy similar to the old VF Corp playbook. The portfolio remains concentrated in spinoff situations and turnaround stories, including companies like Fortrea (spun from Labcorp), Frontdoor (spun from ServiceMaster), and Siemens Energy (spun from Siemens). Key risks include regulatory pressures on healthcare reimbursement rates. The manager maintains conviction in companies with strong management teams, attractive valuations, and clear paths to operational improvement. Portfolio companies are actively returning capital through share buybacks and debt reduction while investing in organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
