"Apis Deep Value Fund posted an 8.5% return in 2024, capitalizing on strong small-cap stock picking in ex-US markets and niche secular growth fields like data centers and defense, while keeping short exposure to structural capital-consumers."
The Apis Deep Value Fund returned 1.4% net in Q4 2024 and 8.5% for the year, lagging the MSCI ACWI Global but beating the smaller-cap MSCI SMID index. The fund finished the year 69% net long (104% long, 35% short). Outperformance was driven by strong stock selection, particularly in Korea and niche longs including HD Hyundai Electric, Red Cat Holdings, and Maire. Key long investment highlights for 2025 focus on power pricing beneficiaries (Hallador Energy, Talen Energy), GLP-1 supply lines (Osaka Soda), and military defense (Red Cat). Structural short positions are maintained in declining or cash-burning models, including Guangzhou Automotive, Plug Power, and Sonova.
