"Minot Light logged a strong 18.1% net return in Q2 2025, successfully utilizing temporary micro-cap liquidity dislocations to scale up core holdings in Torrid (CURV) and RxSight (RXST)."
Executive Summary
Minot Light Capital Appreciation Fund delivered strong results in Q2 2025, returning 18.1% net, outperforming its benchmarks (Russell 2000, S&P 500, iShares Micro-Cap ETF). The fund focuses on three buckets of micro-caps: early-stage emerging growth, core growth holdings under $500m, and severe trading dislocations. Performance was driven by successful turnaround stories like ThredUp (TDUP) and Outset Medical (OM). Major actions this quarter included aggressively sizing up Torrid Holdings (CURV) and RxSight (RXST) following severe technical sell-offs, and fully exiting Informa TechTarget (TTGT) due to degraded post-merger fundamentals and threat of AI disruption.
