"LVS Advisory delivered strong H1 2025 results, highlighting a double-down on monopolistic defense and nuclear provider Curtiss-Wright, alongside highly profitable, cash-backed biotech liquidation trades."
Executive Summary
For the first half of 2025, LVS Growth Portfolio gained 15.8% (beating the S&P 500's 6.2%) and LVS Event-Driven Portfolio gained 3.6%. The letter outlines two main investment pillars. First, the fund doubled down on its position in Curtiss-Wright (CW) in March 2025, viewing its aerospace/defense and nuclear segments as heavily insulated from competition. LVS believes CW's commercial nuclear business is a mispriced call option set to grow 5x over 5-8 years, propelled by the rising energy needs of AI data centers and greenfield SMR initiatives. Second, LVS outlines its strategy in the biotech liquidation space, where they purchase companies with failed trials trading at steep discounts to cash (e.g., ITOS) and wait for management to return capital to shareholders.
