"Minot Light delivered -2.7% in Q1 2026 amid macro volatility and adverse sector rotation away from healthcare and consumer discretionary holdings. Despite near-term headwinds, managers express increased confidence in their small/micro-cap strategy, highlighting strong fundamentals in names like Bob's Discount Furniture and ImmuCell."
Minot Light Capital Partners delivered -2.7% net returns in Q1 2026 amid significant macro volatility including tariffs, AI disruption, and war with Iran. Despite challenging conditions, the managers express increased confidence in their strategy of investing in small and micro-cap companies with strong fundamentals at attractive valuations. The fund suffered from adverse sector rotation, with disproportionate exposure to healthcare, consumer, and idiosyncratic industrials that lagged dominant sectors like AI infrastructure, semiconductors, and defense. Key holdings include Bob's Discount Furniture, a furniture retailer with strong unit economics trading at attractive valuations despite housing market weakness, and ImmuCell, an animal health company with new management focused on growing its profitable First Defense franchise. The portfolio experienced volatility with names like Outset Medical and Owlet swinging between top contributors and detractors based on quarterly results. Three portfolio companies were acquired during the quarter with mixed results. The managers believe current sector rotations will eventually mean-revert, positioning the portfolio for strong future performance as out-of-favor stocks become market leaders.
