"Ophir delivered outstanding performance in 2024 (returns of +21% to +45%) driven purely by exceptional stock selection. The managers are highly constructive on small caps heading into 2025, supported by a booming U.S. small business optimism index."
In their December 2024 letter, Ophir Asset Management reports stellar full-year performance, with all Ophir Funds delivering strong returns (ranging from +21.2% to +45.1%) and substantial outperformance against their benchmarks. A detailed factor attribution shows that this outperformance was almost entirely driven by bottom-up stock picking ('selection effect'). Despite a soft December across major indices due to hawkish rate-path signals from the Federal Reserve, the managers remain constructive. They highlight a historic surge in the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index following the U.S. presidential election, which is translating into increased hiring and capex intentions at the portfolio level. As they head into the upcoming corporate reporting season, Ophir believes that strong economic health and supportive policy shifts will act as powerful tailwinds for small-cap earnings and absolute returns.
