Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"Hirschmann Capital delivered a stellar 68.0% return in H1 2025, fueled by an ultra-bearish, highly concentrated portfolio of gold mining equities positioned for an imminent US economic and sovereign debt collapse."
Executive Summary
In its H1 2025 letter, Hirschmann Capital reports an outstanding Class A return of 68.0%, handily beating the S&P 500's 6.2%. Firmly sticking to its ultra-bearish macro stance, the fund outlines critical threats to the US economy: record-high stock valuations, a vulnerable housing market, and surging bond yields that threaten a debt crisis. The manager systematically refutes multiple common misconceptions about gold's recent price drivers (such as US tariff concerns, ETF holdings, and Chinese central bank accumulation), asserting that gold is fundamentally undervalued relative to historical parameters. The fund remains almost entirely concentrated in gold mining equities (99.9% weight), highlighting major developments and performance contributions from core holdings like GME S and GME Z, while fully liquidating its position in GME C1 following a merger announcement.
