Quick Take

"Minotaur's March quarter was challenging with volatility wiping out early gains, but the fund's AI-driven approach and strategic positioning for Trump 2.0 themes show promise."

Executive Summary

Minotaur experienced its toughest quarter yet in March 2025, with gains from January and February wiped out amid skyrocketing market volatility. The fund has distinguished itself through innovative use of AI technology called Taurient to combat confirmation bias and improve selling discipline, successfully guiding exits from positions like MongoDB and Zillow shorts. The portfolio is strategically positioned for Trump 2.0 through three key themes: underweight US exposure, overweight China positioning, and European defense investments. The fund's Rheinmetall position has generated 40% returns since February, capitalizing on Europe's defense spending surge from under 2% to over 2.2% of GDP. Additionally, the fund is playing reshoring trends through IperionX, which benefits from US titanium supply chain vulnerabilities and tariff policies. Short positions in WiseTech Global, Tesla, and Bumble have contributed positively despite market volatility. Looking ahead, the fund views recent sell-offs as opportunities to acquire mispriced assets while maintaining disciplined risk management through AI-assisted decision making.
