"The Apis Flagship Fund posted a stellar 23.7% net return in Q2 2025, heavily propelled by a recovery in Korean equities and strong structural themes in defense and power infrastructure. The fund remains focused on high-conviction long ideas like Magnite and NOF Corp while using tactical shorts against overhyped sectors like quantum computing SPACs."
The Apis Flagship Fund delivered a robust net return of 23.7% in Q2 2025, driven by a 35.9% gross contribution from long positions, while shorts detracted 4.9% gross. By the end of June, the fund maintained a 60% net long posture (92% long, 32% short). Regional performance was led by Asia, particularly South Korea, which contributed 18.0% to the Flagship strategy as the region benefited from corporate governance reforms (the 'Lee Jae-myung bump') and attractive valuations after years of relative underperformance. Europe and North America each added approximately 5.0% to returns. Sector-wise, Industrials (specifically defense and power generation/distribution) led performance. Top individual contributors included Doosan Enerbility, Poongsan, Hyundai Rotem, and Iljin Electronics. Conversely, GEO Group was the largest detractor, losing 90 bps due to political resistance to immigration deportations. Key forward-looking themes include structural tailwinds in defense, space industries, power infrastructure, and a global resurgence in nuclear energy. Additionally, Apis is positioning for 'Trump Trades' (including an 8% allocation to mid-cap gold miners) and shorting overhyped, speculative quantum computing SPACs. The fund highlights two major high-conviction long ideas: Magnite, Inc. (MGNI), which is poised to benefit from CTV growth and Google's antitrust ruling, and NOF Corporation (4403.T), a Japanese specialty chemical and pharmaceutical delivery systems company experiencing double-digit growth.
