"Deep Sail closed out an exceptional 2024 returning 38.1%, and is now strategically leveraging a deflating 'Quantum AI' retail bubble to build high-conviction short positions ahead of expected macro turbulence in 2025."
Deep Sail Capital Partners generated a net return of 38.1% in 2024 (11.8% in Q4), significantly outperforming benchmarks. Growth was driven by high-quality long positions like Kraken Robotics, Rocket Lab USA, and TSS Inc. The short portfolio faced headwind pressures from a highly speculative 'Quantum AI' retail bubble that emerged late in the year. The manager views this bubble as an outstanding short opportunity and has already begun capitalizing on its post-January 2025 deflation. The fund remains constructive on structural growth longs (e.g., Shelly Group, Vertiv, e.l.f. Beauty) but is increasing short exposure heading into 2025 due to anticipated macro turbulence from government spending cutbacks and inflation.
