"Rozendal delivered strong absolute and relative returns in H1 2026 despite avoiding the AI mania that drove markets. The Iran war benefited energy holdings while precious metals shorts paid off as gold and platinum sold off."
The Rozendal Worldwide Flexible Prescient Qualified Investor Hedge Fund returned 4.5% in H1 2026, outperforming its benchmark which declined 3.0%. The period was characterized by an AI mania driving Information Technology returns of nearly 30% and an Iran war that caused oil prices to surge with 20% of global supply disrupted. The manager's avoidance of AI exposure hurt relative performance in the Global Fund but the Hedge Fund benefited from short gold positions as precious metals sold off on higher inflation and rate expectations. Key contributors included AECI, PPC, and Clientele (taken private), while detractors included Blu Label, Valterra Platinum, and Gemfields. The manager completed three investment cycles: Meta (31% IRR after holding from 2019-2020 through early 2026), silver (20%+ IRR as a currency alternative), and Curro (22% IRR including merger arbitrage). The letter emphasizes the importance of valuation discipline, noting that even sound assets can become overpriced in manias, and that contrarian opportunities must be grounded in careful long-term economic assessment rather than mere positioning against consensus.
