Quick Take

"Driven by microcap winners Clearpoint Neuro and Kraken Robotics. The fund increased concentration while adding AI data center play TSS Inc. Manager expects Fed rate cuts and post-election clarity to drive continued bull market, though warns of potential AI bubble by mid-2025."

Executive Summary

Deep Sail Capital Partners delivered strong Q3 2024 performance with a 13.8% net return, bringing year-to-date returns to 23.5% while maintaining 87% average net long exposure. The fund significantly outperformed both Russell 2000 and Russell Mid-Cap Growth benchmarks. Two microcap positions, Clearpoint Neuro and Kraken Robotics, drove results by contributing over 10% of gross returns. Kraken Robotics emerged as the top performer with a 72% quarterly gain, becoming the fund's largest position at 14.3%. The manager added TSS Inc. as a new position targeting AI data center growth, specifically liquid-cooled infrastructure. The detailed Cellebrite analysis highlights the fund's focus on specialized software companies serving niche markets with high barriers to entry. Looking forward, the manager expects the Fed's September rate cut and post-election clarity to fuel continued market gains, though warns of potential AI bubble formation by mid-2025. The portfolio became more concentrated through six position closures while scaling existing winners.
