Quick Take
"Led by Turkish warehouse REIT Reysas benefiting from structural shortage and Swedish healthcare tech Intellego with secured $360M deal."
Executive Summary
Bilbel Capital delivered exceptional returns of 129.47% in 2024, bringing three-year annualized returns to 133.32%. The fund maintains a concentrated portfolio led by Reysas GYO (50.1%) and Intellego Technologies (34.8%). Reysas benefits from Turkey's structural warehouse shortage, requiring 20-40 million additional square meters over the next decade while generating steady rental income despite Turkey's challenging 50% interest rate environment. Intellego secured a $360M deal with Likang, adding significant value with EKN guarantees reducing payment risk. The manager sold Tianjin Development Holdings to increase Intellego exposure after the deal announcement. New positions include Seohee Construction, which operates a unique risk-reduced model in South Korea, and an undisclosed position trading below cash with secured future orders. The portfolio trades at attractive valuations with strong insider buying across holdings. Key risks include Turkey's economic instability and South Korea's demographic challenges, while catalysts include structural warehouse demand and secured healthcare technology contracts.
