"LVS Advisory delivered strong H1 2025 performance driven by its long-term investment in defense and nuclear player Curtiss-Wright and highly profitable event-driven arbitrage in biotech liquidations."
Executive Summary
For the first half of 2025, the LVS Growth Portfolio returned 15.8% and the LVS Event-Driven Portfolio returned 3.6%, net of all fees, outperforming their respective S&P 500 and high-yield bond benchmarks. The letter highlights a core high-conviction holding in Curtiss-Wright (CW), an industrial conglomerate poised to benefit from structural growth in defense electronics, increased US naval spending, and a projected 5x earnings growth over the next 5-8 years in its commercial nuclear business. In parallel, the letter outlines its event-driven strategy focusing on biotech liquidations, illustrated by a profitable case study in iTeos Therapeutics (ITOS), which was purchased at a significant discount to its cash balance and is now on path to complete liquidation.
