Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"Driven by its massive Carvana position, Recurve recorded an impressive +31% gross return in Q2. The manager defends holding concentrated, volatile winners by utilizing a flexible decision tree framework rather than traditional target-price metrics."
Executive Summary
Recurve Capital returned +31% gross in Q2 2025 and +14.8% gross YTD (+12% net), outperforming major indices. Carvana remains the fund's largest position (47.9% of NAV) and its largest performance contributor, while Cogent and RH were the main detractors. The manager details their 'decision tree' framework, which focuses on dynamic fundamental pathways rather than rigid price targets. To manage concentration, the fund will deploy new capital to non-Carvana positions to naturally drift its size toward the mid-20% target range. The fund's Founders Class remains open for another $35M or until January 31, 2026.
