"The ARAR Fund gained 6.2% since its last report, fueled by strong gains in China and Kiwetinohk, while shifting further into deep-value small caps and cautioning that European markets will bear the brunt of incoming US tariff policies."
The ARAR Fund reported strong results, up 6.2% since its last newsletter (and 8.1% YTD in EUR terms, or 19.2% YTD in USD terms). Strong performance was driven by Asian equities like Pax Global and Ferrotec, as well as a 30% surge in Kiwetinohk. The fund is actively shifting toward a stricter deep-value small-cap framework, holding 23 positions and 3.3% cash. A new position was opened in China YuHua Education Group, which successfully shifted from banned K-9 operations to vocational training and is currently trading at a highly depressed multiple. On macro issues, the manager remains highly skeptical of Trump's tariff negotiations and warns that Europe's political concession strategies will lead to long-term economic pain for European exporters.
