"Colebrooke Opportunities Fund fell -14.53% in H1 2025. The manager transitioned the portfolio into higher-quality and more liquid holdings, initiating a position in Macfarlane Group and exiting problematic investments in NAHL and THG."
Executive Summary
Colebrooke Opportunities Fund's Class A shares fell -14.53% for H1 2025. The manager leveraged the high market volatility to exit illiquid, high-risk positions (NAHL Group and THG plc) and transition into higher-quality, more liquid assets. Key activity included initiating a core position in Macfarlane Group, a resilient UK-leading protective packaging distributor trading at a highly attractive <10x FCF valuation. Post-half-year, the fund also acquired positions in Bloomsbury Publishing and Greggs. Moving forward, the fund has refined its strategy to avoid deal-catalyst-driven, illiquid small-cap investments, prioritizing businesses with clear compounding execution runways.
