"Bilbel Capital maintains extreme concentration in Turkish logistics company Reysas, delivering 474% returns since inception. Trading at 540M versus estimated intrinsic value of 1.75B+, the manager expects 1000% returns over the next decade."
Bilbel Capital has delivered exceptional returns of 474.83% since inception through concentrated investment in Reysas Logistics, a Turkish logistics company. The fund remains 100% invested in Reysas, which has grown from a 94M to 540M market cap. The manager values Reysas in two parts: 62% ownership of Reysas REIT worth 1-1.2B, and the logistics business valued above 750M, suggesting significant upside from current 540M market cap. Recent capital raising was necessary due to extreme demand for logistics services and banking sector constraints, with management's significant participation signaling confidence. The manager compares investment merits of Reysas versus Reysas REIT directly, concluding that while REIT offers better near-term value, Reysas will likely outperform over longer periods due to superior capital allocation flexibility. Despite acknowledging that 500% annual returns are unsustainable, the manager expects another 1000% return over the next decade. Plans for diversification emerge only when Reysas returns approach those of other opportunities, with fresh capital expected in 2024.
