"The Kopernik Global All-Cap Fund delivered a stellar 18.39% return in Q2 2025, powered by strong gains in PGM, uranium, and South Korean value equities, while hedging against frothy US market valuations."
In the second quarter of 2025, the Kopernik Global All-Cap Fund (Class I) posted an 18.39% return, significantly outperforming the MSCI All Country World Index's gain of 11.53%. The fund benefited from a massive rebound in value-oriented sectors, particularly materials and energy, despite early-quarter market volatility triggered by global tariff concerns. The materials sector contributed 6.1% to total returns, led by strong performance in Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) and gold miners, such as Impala Platinum, Valterra Platinum, Sibanye Stillwater, Newmont, and Aris Mining. South Korean equities also contributed 6.1% to the fund, boosted by political stabilization and the election of President Lee Jae-myung, who pledged to address the 'Korea discount' through corporate governance improvements. Top contributors included LG Uplus and Korea Electric Power Corp (Kepco). Energy holdings, especially uranium producers like Paladin Energy and Kazatomprom, added 2.5% to performance. In contrast, detractors included Equinox Gold, SQM, Ivanhoe Mines, and Baidu. Kopernik leveraged the volatility to initiate new positions in Glencore, Lundin Mining, Borr Drilling, and others, while maintaining a cautious hedge via S&P 500 index put options as broad U.S. markets climbed back to frothy, all-time highs.
