"RGAIA actively deployed capital during Q2 2025 volatility, adding three new positions in gene therapy leader CRISPR, fitness platform Peloton, and enterprise software provider Workday. Portfolio balances value and growth with asymmetric opportunities trading at attractive valuations."
RGAIA navigated an extremely volatile Q2 2025 marked by trade war fears and market uncertainty by leaning into conviction with active portfolio management. The fund made three new investments in CRISPR Therapeutics, Peloton, and Workday, representing asymmetric opportunities trading at attractive valuations. CRISPR offers first-mover gene therapy exposure with strong cash position and commercial product Casgevy. Peloton has evolved into a cash-generative recurring revenue business with expansion opportunities in strength and nutrition. Workday provides mission-critical enterprise software with margin expansion potential under new leadership. The fund increased positions in Roku and Fever-Tree while exiting PayPal due to security concerns and Alphawave following acquisition. Portfolio positioning balances value and growth with focus on businesses having durable advantages and strong balance sheets. Life sciences shows early momentum signs while large-cap tech holdings remain steady. The managers maintain disciplined underwriting approach, targeting companies with asymmetric return profiles where risk/reward skews favorably in current environment.
