"Fawkes Capital returned +5.2% in July, driven by constructive thematic plays across AI infrastructure, defense, and niche commodities. The fund has introduced an asymmetric play on Chinese AI development via cheap Malaysian utilities and backup generator manufacturers."
Executive Summary
The Fawkes Capital Fund delivered a satisfactory return of +5.2% in July 2025. Gains were led by exposure to German infrastructure (specifically Friedrich Vorwerk benefiting from public spending and hydrogen pipeline plans), AI infrastructure themes, and a long-term position in Google. The manager added a new theme: Chinese AI Development, which details how Chinese hyperscalers are utilizing Malaysian datacentres to work around US export controls. To play this, the fund is initiating exposures to Malaysian utilities and has bought Chongqing Machinery, a cheap backup generator producer. In defense, the fund initiated a position in AVIO SpA and continues to hold Park Aerospace. In commodities, positions remain concentrated in antimony (Felix Gold), tungsten (EQR Resources), and graphite (Syrah, Westwater, Novonix) where supply constraints or tariffs offer positive structural tailwinds.
