"Argosy Investors is adopting a cautious posture, cutting ties with underperforming or fully valued holdings (TRRSF, VNT, DEO, STNE) to lower overall risk, while opportunistically buying high-quality secular growth names (AVTR, FND, QQQ) on post-COVID valuation pullbacks."
Executive Summary
In his August 23, 2025 investor letter, Mike Loeb of Argosy Investors details a cautious approach in response to a frothy market and deferred macro risks. Despite a new federal spending bill providing near-term economic support, Loeb warns of a deferred inflation and debt hangover, alongside elevated geopolitical risks. During the quarter, Argosy reduced exposure by trimming TRRSF (due to underwriting and reserve issues) and completely exiting VNT, DEO, STNE, and FTV. To capitalize on selective opportunities, the fund established new positions in AVTR (biotech recovery and turnaround catalysts), FND (purchased at a discounted valuation during a trough in margins), and QQQ (to secure passive exposure to technology innovation).
