Executive Summary
Ace River Capital Partners, L.P. returned -5.33% in Q2 2025, underperforming both the S&P 500 (+4.1%) and the Russell 2000 (+3.6%) due to temporary weakness across core holdings. The fund remains committed to its highly concentrated, patient strategy focused on small-cap companies with tangible assets and long-term reinvestment capabilities. Portfolio updates are provided for RCI Hospitality (RICK), Vox Royalty Corp. (VOXR), and MarineMax (HZO), the latter of which saw its position slightly increased on weakness. The manager highlights that the ongoing market neglect of small-cap stocks presents attractive entry opportunities relative to intrinsic value.
