"The Steppe Eagle fund navigated H1 2025 with a 5.51% gain, selectively buying the dip on clean energy and high-quality tech names while avoiding over-leveraged and excessively priced market sectors."
Executive Summary
The Steppe Eagle OEIC Ltd posted a 5.51% gain for the first half of 2025, lagging its benchmark MSCI World (+8.12%), but pushed to a 9.74% YTD gain shortly after the period close. Strategic execution remains steady: the fund is capitalizing on market swings (driven by tariff-related volatility) to build positions in high-conviction clean energy stocks (Nextracker, Vestas) and reasonably priced tech giants (Alphabet, Salesforce). Notable portfolio changes include trim adjustments on gold/silver, HelloFresh (due to leverage concerns), and partial profit-taking on Lyft, while holding course on core compounders.
