Quick Take

"Halvio Capital pursues deep value in small-cap stocks with hard asset backing. Portfolio includes companies trading below tangible book or at single-digit EBIT multiples."

Executive Summary

Halvio Capital returned 5.79% in Q2 2026, lagging major indices as the S&P posted its best quarter since 2020 and Russell 2000 its best half-year since 1991, driven by renewed AI enthusiasm. The fund remains up 19.80% year-to-date, outperforming most benchmarks. Manager Anthony explicitly avoids AI stocks despite sector strength, viewing current enthusiasm as reminiscent of historical bubbles. The portfolio focuses on extremely cheap stocks with hard asset backing or low earnings multiples. Largest detractor was Humm Group, down 30% following governance issues, though manager sees value extraction potential with activist involvement and potential asset sales at half tangible book. Strong performers included Mestek trading under 4x EV/EBIT with 77% market cap in cash, FP Newspapers up 30% at under 2x EV/EBITDA, and Beng Kuang Marine up 100% on turnaround execution and oil price strength before exit. New position Goldmoney offers UK real estate portfolio worth more than enterprise value, getting precious metals storage business generating $49 million EBIT for free. Manager emphasizes downside protection as markets reach 32x trailing earnings with pockets of speculative froth.

Signal Matrix

Market Conviction

72%

CautiousHigh

High Conviction (72%)

Manager demonstrates high conviction through concentrated portfolio of named positions with detailed thesis work and specific valuation targets. Goldmoney analysis spans multiple pages with precise enterprise value calculations ($130M EV vs $140M real estate value), comparable multiples (10x EV/EBIT), and upside scenarios (50-100%). Other positions have clear catalysts and valuations (Mestek under 4x EV/EBIT, FP Newspapers under 2x EV/EBITDA, Humm at half tangible book). Manager willing to hold through volatility (Humm down 30%) and actively size positions (trimmed Beng Kuang, exited after 100% gain). Some hedging language ('remains to be seen,' 'decent chance') and diversified portfolio structure (multiple positions across geographies) prevents score from reaching 0.80+.

Growth Outlook

28%

BearishBullish

Bearish (28%)

Manager expresses clear caution about market conditions, noting S&P 500 at 32x trailing earnings, largest rocket IPO ever at 100x revenue creating first trillionaire, and AI-related speculation reminiscent of dot-com and blockchain bubbles. States 'it typically doesn't end well' and questions 'maybe this time is different' sarcastically. However, acknowledges markets 'keep going up' and doesn't predict imminent collapse, tempering the bearish view.

Risk Appetite

35%

DefensiveAggressive

Defensive (35%)

Portfolio is actively deployed in concentrated value positions with several new initiations (Humm Group, Beasley Broadcast, Sato Foods, Goldmoney) and active trimming/exits based on valuations (Beng Kuang Marine, Tetragon, PFHO). Manager is selectively adding to positions but emphasizes downside protection rather than aggressive risk-taking. Net positioning is constructive but disciplined, not maximum risk-on.

Capital Deployment

15%

De-riskingDeploying

De-risking (15%)

Manager initiated four new positions during quarter (Humm Group, Beasley Broadcast, Sato Foods, Goldmoney) while selling three positions (Tetragon, PFHO, Beng Kuang Marine post-quarter) and trimming others (F.I.L.A., Beng Kuang during quarter). This represents capital rotation rather than net deployment or de-risking. No cash level data provided to assess net exposure changes. Activity suggests selective rebalancing with modest net deployment bias given new initiations, but primarily rotation-focused. Score reflects slight positive tilt from new position additions but constrained by lack of cash data and offsetting sales.

Forward Guidance

25%

CautiousExpansionary

Cautious (25%)

Manager states 'I continue to look for investments where the downside is protected' and emphasizes 'constantly focusing on' minimizing losses as markets rise. Language suggests ongoing selective deployment but with heightened caution. No indication of pulling back entirely, but clear emphasis on patience and selectivity rather than aggressive deployment into current environment.

Language Signal

15%

BearishBullish

Bearish (15%)

Language is mixed with more cautious/risk-focused terms than bullish ones. Negative framing includes: 'froth,' 'bubble,' 'doesn't end well,' 'elevated multiples,' 'egregious acts of corporate governance,' 'lagged,' 'detractor,' 'gone against us.' Positive language includes: 'attractive,' 'strong performers,' 'tremendous amount of value,' 'extremely cheap,' 'upside.' Net balance tilts slightly positive given specific position enthusiasm, but overall tone is cautious about broader market.

Perceived Risk

68%

Low RiskElevated

Elevated Risk (68%)

Manager identifies multiple specific market risks with meaningful discussion: S&P 500 at 32x trailing earnings (elevated valuations), AI speculation compared to dot-com and blockchain bubbles with 100-500% price spikes on name changes, largest IPO ever at 100x revenue, and states 'it typically doesn't end well.' Also highlights egregious corporate governance issues at Humm Group spanning multiple bullet points. Risk discussion is substantive and central to market outlook section, though manager doesn't express systemic crisis concerns or extreme alarm. Risks are named, analyzed, and inform positioning, placing this in meaningfully elevated risk perception range.

Opportunity Density

62%

ScarceAbundant

Selective (62%)

Manager identifies selective opportunities in defined areas, initiating four new positions during quarter and describing portfolio as consisting of 'extremely cheap stocks, some with clearly defined catalysts and some without.' Goldmoney analysis demonstrates ability to find compelling ideas with detailed valuation work. However, manager emphasizes selectivity and notes difficulty in broader market ('chasing after the hot new thing is not something I'm looking to do'), explicitly avoiding entire AI sector despite its market leadership. Language suggests decent opportunity set in value/special situations space but requiring work and patience, not abundant across markets.

Time Horizon

58%

Short-TermLong-Term

Multi-Year (58%)

Manager demonstrates medium-term orientation with 1-3 year catalysts. Goldmoney real estate development expected complete by 2028 (2-year horizon from letter date). Beng Kuang Marine held from November to Q2 exit (7-month hold), suggesting willingness to exit on re-rating rather than indefinite hold. Humm Group thesis depends on activist pressure and potential asset sales (12-18 month catalyst window implied). No explicit permanent capital language or decade-plus holding period statements. Manager watches quarterly results and actively manages positions based on valuations and catalysts, indicating medium-term rather than ultra-long-term approach.
