Executive Summary
SaltLight Capital reported a strong 2Q 2025 return of +24.52%, driven by Roblox, NVIDIA, and Blue Label Telecoms. The manager outlines their overarching hypothesis that AI represents a multi-decade technology epoch currently in a capital-intensive 'installation/frenzy' phase. They highlight energy (power) and physical AI (robotics) as critical, overlooked infrastructure areas. SaltLight discusses their recent investment in Google, viewing it as a robust way to navigate the AI 'air pocket' of adoption uncertainty, given Google's cost advantages (TPUs) and vast distribution network. They remain cautious on stretched general market valuations and manage these risks through strict portfolio construction and five-year outcome planning rather than market-timing predictions.
