"Concentrated small-cap fund targeting catalyst-driven opportunities in uranium, biotech, and healthcare technology. Despite Q1 decline, manager shows high conviction with ASP Isotopes revenue catalysts, improved Niger dynamics for Global Atomic, and Biotricity's AI transition."
Rogue Funds declined 12.4% in Q1 2025 but manager Jacob Rowe expresses increased confidence in the portfolio heading into year three. The fund maintains a concentrated approach focused on catalyst-driven small-cap investments across uranium, biotechnology, data centers, and healthcare technology. Key holdings include ASP Isotopes, which has begun full production and expects significant revenue catalysts through Q4, and Global Atomic, benefiting from improved geopolitical conditions in Niger. The fund also holds Achieve Life Sciences, despite recent frustrations, with potential 5x-8x upside following upcoming clinical milestones. New positions include Biotricity, a healthcare technology company transitioning to an AI-focused SAAS model with pilot studies launching imminently. The portfolio has become more concentrated while removing all leverage due to expected macro volatility. Multiple catalysts are anticipated through August-September, with the manager expecting this could be the fund's best year despite continued high volatility from the concentrated positioning strategy.
