"LRT Global Opportunities finished September down -8.00% (-0.17% YTD) amidst extreme mega-cap-led market froth. Manager Lukasz Tomicki warns of historic broad market overvaluations and remains highly constructive on his low-beta, high-quality hedged portfolio."
Executive Summary
LRT Capital reported an -8.00% return in September 2025 for its LRT Global Opportunities strategy, bringing YTD performance to -0.17%. Portfolio Manager Lukasz Tomicki outlined a cautious view on the broader market, emphasizing that trailing market P/E (>30x) and Shiller PE (>40x) multiples are at extreme historically-risky levels driven by an overvalued group of mega-cap stocks. LRT continues to run a systematic long/short strategy, maintaining high-quality compounding long positions (such as StoneX, Simpson Manufacturing, and Asbury Automotive) paired with significant index hedges (representing a beta-adjusted net exposure of 32.36%) designed to capture long-term alpha and insulate capital from potential macroeconomic shocks.
