"Tourlite delivered strong Q1 performance through concentrated aerospace and infrastructure longs paired with consumer/tech shorts. Montana Aerospace trades at compelling 7x EBITDA despite operational strength."
Tourlite Fund delivered 16.9% net returns in Q1 2026, maintaining its track record of outperformance with negative correlation to major indices. The fund operates with 33% average net exposure and 242% gross exposure, concentrating on aerospace and infrastructure longs while shorting consumer and technology names. Key holdings include Montana Aerospace, trading at 7x 2027E EBITDA despite strong operational performance, and FTAI Aviation, capturing market share in supply-constrained aerospace markets. The manager views current geopolitical volatility and oil price surges from Iran conflict as creating both headwinds for aerospace holdings and opportunities for short positioning. Inflationary pressures have accelerated, increasing probability of higher-for-longer rates, which could benefit the fund's short book as speculative momentum reverses. The anticipated SpaceX IPO is expected to drain liquidity from high-beta stocks, creating favorable conditions for short sellers. Portfolio positioning remains defensive with selective exposure, targeting 20-30% normal net exposure range while maintaining conviction in undervalued industrial assets.
