"Arnott Capital delivered a 3.97% net return for H1 2025, actively rotating capital out of GLP-1 incumbents and into UK housing and Softbank. They are shorting Pop Mart to capitalize on the peaking Labubu doll hype cycle."
Executive Summary
Arnott Capital's 2025 Interim Letter reports a 3.97% net return for the six months ended 30 June 2025. Key performance contributors included Aerospace (where profits were taken from airlines and rotated into Airbus) and 'Data is the new oil' (boosted by a new long position in Softbank). The biggest detractor was Longevity, due to Novo Nordisk, which was exited due to pressure from compounding pharmacies. The fund introduced two main new long themes: UK Housing (driven by severe undersupply and rate-cut cycle) and China Champions (focused on highly discounted plays like Didi Global). On the short side, the manager is shorting Pop Mart, anticipating the burst of the viral Labubu doll hype cycle.
