Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"Asheville Capital outperformed the MSCI ACWI in H1 2025 with a 13.4% return, driven by its top holdings, and established a new high-conviction position in Japanese HR-tech platform Timee."
Executive Summary
Asheville Capital produced a net return of 13.4% in the first half of 2025, outperforming its benchmark (MSCI ACWI) which returned 10.3%. Performance was driven by top holdings Nu Holdings, Basic-Fit, and Wise, all of which the fund added to during the early April market dip. During Q2, the fund initiated a new high-conviction position in Timee, a Japanese on-demand labor marketplace, at a cost basis of ¥1,750 per share. To fund this, the manager trimmed its position in Medley, treating the two as a pair trade exposed to Japan's shrinking labor force and structural demographic shifts. The manager remains confident in the fund's concentrated holdings of capital-efficient, high-quality businesses despite widespread macroeconomic uncertainty.
