"EMA GARP Fund posted a stellar +28.76% return in Q2 2025, fueled by concentrated positions in gold, silver, and bitcoin. The fund has closed all short positions, bracing for a highly inflationary 'Crack Up Boom' as the US debt crisis deepens."
The EMA GARP Fund delivered an outstanding Q2 2025 return of +28.76% (+55.5% YTD), significantly outperforming general market indices. This outperformance was driven by a powerful secular move in precious metals and crypto as the US enters a visible Sovereign Debt Crisis. The fund emphasizes that the US fiscal deficit is set to widen dramatically due to the newly signed '$5T debt ceiling increase' and the 'Big Beautiful Bill' spending package. Despite Fed Chair Powell's current resistance to rate cuts, political pressure and the high interest cost burden ($1.2T/year) make monetary easing inevitable. Anticipating a 'Crack Up Boom' where the public swaps cash for real assets, the managers have closed their short positions. The fund is heavily positioned in physical metal miners (including silver miners), citing extremely low relative valuations (the global gold mining industry represents just 1% of the S&P 500's market cap) and technical breakout signals in silver above $35/oz.
