"Kingdom Capital returned 2.51% in Q3 focusing on neglected small caps totaling $10B market cap. Largest position NLOP executing successful liquidation while metallurgical coal investments benefit from supply constraints driving steel producers to pay premium valuations."
Kingdom Capital returned 2.51% net in Q3 2024 despite substantial volatility, maintaining focus on small company investments totaling $10B in market cap. The fund's largest position, Net Lease Office Properties, continues executing orderly liquidation with recent property sales above estimated values and lease extensions providing upside. The manager sees significant opportunity in metallurgical coal through Warrior Met Coal, citing major steel producers paying $300m+ per million tons of annual production for inferior assets. Restaurant investments include Good Times trading at 20% free cash flow yield and GEN Restaurant Group self-funding aggressive expansion. New position United Natural Foods shows early signs of turnaround with improved margins and new CFO focus on cash generation. The portfolio experienced volatility from Japan's rate increase unwinding yen carry trades and recession fears, but rallied with Fed rate cuts. ComScore disappointed with delayed revenue growth while Galaxy Gaming was acquired by Evolution at attractive valuation. The strategy remains concentrated in neglected small caps with strong cash generation potential.
