Executive Summary
In Q2 2025, Alphyn Capital Management's Master Account returned 12.4% net, outperforming the S&P 500's 10.9%. The fund maintained a concentrated portfolio, with its top ten positions accounting for roughly 65% of assets and cash/treasuries at 17%. The manager capitalized on volatility by trimming overvalued names (TerraVest, gold ETF, Exor, Melrose) and completely exiting positions with deteriorated credit quality or execution issues (OCSL, CarMax, FILA, DSGR). Top performance contributors included Fairfax, Brookfield, and KKR. Moving forward, the manager is carefully monitoring the watch list and preserving cash until valuations become more favorable.
