"Azvalor is adopting a highly defensive, contrarian posture, preparing for a potential market correction by rotating out of expensive indices and into undervalued assets like commodities, emerging markets, and small value."
In their 1H2025 investor letter, Azvalor Asset Management reports reaching EUR 2.894 billion AUM and over 28,100 co-investors. The managers express deep caution regarding the overall stock market, noting that US valuations are at historic highs (210% of GDP) driven by massive technology mega-caps. Drawing an analogy between 'cicadas' (speculative market indices) and 'ants' (disciplined value investors), Azvalor highlights their contrarian positioning. They are actively investing in neglected, highly-cash-generative areas like oil, coal, small caps in the UK, and Brazilian equities, arguing these assets are mistakenly forgotten. Notable portfolio adjustments include adding Schlumberger and Sprott Physical Uranium Trust, and exiting Tenaris and Catalana Occidente.
