Executive Summary
In Q2 2025, Prosper Stars & Stripes / Roubaix Composite delivered strong performance (+9.6% / +9.81% net return), significantly outperforming the HFRI and recovering ground against the Russell 2000. Despite sharp macroeconomic headwinds in the US, including a massive 'tariff shock' and escalating recession fears, economic fundamentals remained robust with 3% GDP growth. The long book was powered by strong individual positions in Magnite and Agilysys, while the fund exited positions that breached stop-loss parameters (Ranpak, Sphere). On the short side, structural plays like Helen of Troy and Azenta contributed positively. Looking ahead, the fund is constructive on small-cap equities due to upcoming interest rate cuts, resilient corporate earnings, and favorable pro-business tax policy adjustments.
