"Bonsai Partners appreciated 7.3% net in H1 2025, outperforming the S&P 500, and significantly increased its stake in Fever-Tree following a transformative U.S. partnership with Molson Coors."
Executive Summary
Bonsai Partners Fund, LP returned 7.3% net of fees and expenses for the first six months of 2025, outperforming the S&P 500's 6.2% return. The letter details the manager's core 'Enduring Economics' framework—highlighting Wise plc as a prime example—and features an extensive write-up on Fever-Tree Drinks (FEVR.L). The manager explains that Fever-Tree's past margin challenges (caused by shipping European-made products across the Atlantic) are solved by its new exclusive partnership with Molson Coors. This deal transitions Fever-Tree's U.S. operations to an asset-light royalty model with guaranteed minimum payments, significantly improving visibility for earnings growth.
