"Rozendal Partners delivered robust outperformance in H1 2025, driven by strong gains in contrarian value holdings, while completing the liquidation of several major multi-year holdings, including their Turkish portfolio."
Executive Summary
Rozendal Partners reported very strong absolute and relative performance for the six months ending 30 June 2025. The Rozendal Global Fund gained 23.0% (benchmark 10.2%) and the Hedge Fund gained 13.7% (benchmark 16.7%). Key drivers of performance included significant stock price jumps in SES, Prosus, Naked Wines, and Blue Label Telecoms. Conversely, Kaspi, Noble, and HCI detracted. Over the past six months, the firm completed five investment cycles: fully liquidating its Turkish holdings (Migros, Sabanci, Coca-Cola Icecek), as well as Metro AG, Hargreaves Lansdown, Alphamin, and Astoria. While Hargreaves Lansdown was a highly successful buy-out with a 40% IRR, Metro AG was one of the worst-performing investments in Rozendal's history. The letter concludes with a commentary on trade tariffs, arguing that they present minor long-term risks to global markets, and announces the departure of executive Eugene Taljaard alongside plans to manage a globally unconstrained investment mandate.
