"Vltava Fund highlights the dangers of value and growth traps, explaining how they took advantage of severe market corrections to establish high-conviction positions in Novo Nordisk, Fiserv, and Marex."
Executive Summary
In the Q3 2025 letter, Daniel Gladiš refutes the traditional division between value and growth stocks, describing them as highly interconnected. He provides a detailed overview of investment traps, contrasting long-decaying 'value traps' with abruptly collapsing 'growth traps.' Vltava Fund successfully avoided major growth traps but capitalised on recent market corrections where these traps snapped shut on high-quality companies. Specifically, the fund initiated three new positions: Novo Nordisk (after its share price fell from over DKK 1,000 to below DKK 300 due to temporary production bottlenecks), Fiserv (following a 40% valuation correction despite intact long-term metrics), and Marex (a relatively unknown global financial services platform with underappreciated growth prospects).
