"New West Partners posted a stellar 41.38% YTD return by leveraging mispriced volatility and a highly successful asymmetric bet on ad-tech firm Magnite following Google's antitrust ruling. The fund is currently transitioning to an SEC-registered structure."
Executive Summary
New West Partners, LP achieved an exceptional 41.38% YTD return through Q2 2025, significantly outperforming the S&P 500's 5.68%. The outperformance was driven by a directionally agnostic volatility hedge on the semiconductor industry and a highly successful, asymmetric options position in Magnite (MGNI). The MGNI thesis played out following a landmark antitrust ruling that found Google's digital ad practices monopolistic, positioning smaller ad-tech players for rapid EBITDA expansion. The manager also announced that the firm is winding down the legacy partnership to transition to an SEC-registered entity by the end of Q3 2025, offering distinct 'Quality' and 'Special Situations' mandates to investors.
