Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"Led by Northeast Bank's 26.7% surge on strong loan purchase activity and accelerating SBA lending growth. Interactive Brokers also contributed with 13.7% gains."

Executive Summary

Hinde Group delivered strong Q3 performance with 6.11% net returns, driven primarily by Interactive Brokers and Northeast Bank positions. The portfolio maintains a concentrated approach with seven long equity positions and minimal cash. Northeast Bank emerged as a standout performer, rising 26.7% after executing significant loan purchases totaling $808 million and demonstrating accelerating traction in its SBA lending partnership with Newity. The bank's SBA originations nearly matched the entire prior fiscal year in just one quarter, now contributing over 10% of total income. Interactive Brokers also contributed meaningfully with 13.7% gains. The Fed's 50 basis point rate cut bolstered market confidence in a soft landing, with credit spreads falling to multi-year lows. While Alphabet declined 8.8% as the only notable detractor, the manager remains optimistic about portfolio prospects and continues seeking new investment opportunities. The concentrated strategy reflects high conviction in selected positions with a focus on fundamental value creation.
