| 2025 Q2 | Jul 10, 2025 | Black Bear Value Partners | -10.5% | -11.7% | ABG, AN, BLDR, CNR, FLG, HCC | catalysts, free cash flow, mispricing, Shorts, value | The commentary emphasizes deep value investing supported by identifiable catalysts over a multi-year horizon. Many holdings are priced for pessimistic scenarios despite strong asset bases and cash generation potential. Short positions complement longs by exploiting speculative excesses. | View | |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 23, 2026 | Alluvium Global Fund | -1.1% | -0.1% | 005930.KS, AN, BABA, CHTR, DKS, GOOGL, GPI, HCA, HRB, LBRDA, LNR.TO, LYB, MCK, RHI, RYAAY, THO, UMG.AS, V | AI, Airlines, global, healthcare, technology, underperformance, value | The fund discusses the rapid adoption of AI technologies, particularly Alphabet's Gemini AI which gained 650 million monthly active users in six months. Questions remain about quantifying efficiency gains and monetary benefits versus the immense capital outlays by providers. Ryanair represents the fund's largest position at 9.4%, benefiting from earlier aircraft deliveries and upgraded traffic expectations. Management expects reasonable net profit growth with strengthening competitive positioning. The fund follows a value-oriented approach, buying more of poorly performing investments as they decline. The managers acknowledge the value investor's curse of buying too early and selling too early, citing examples of premature exits from gold miners and semiconductor companies. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 12, 2026 | Pabrai Wagons Fund | 0.0% | 3.7% | AAPL, AMR, AMZN, AN, GOOGL, HMT.L, META, MSFT, NVDA, PHM, RIG, TOL, TSLA | Airports, Auto Dealers, Buybacks, Coal, global, Homebuilders, Oil Services, value | The fund focuses on businesses with enlightened managements that buy back their stock at compelling valuations. Three businesses in the portfolio that fit this mold have committed to return capital to shareholders through buybacks or dividends. The fund believes these businesses could deliver higher returns going forward than the Magnificent 7 through buybacks. The fund is invested in a handful of metallurgical coal businesses, with two near the bottom quartile of the cost curve and all led by exceptional managers. All three businesses have some of the best met coal reserves on the planet. The fund believes there will be no meaningful alternative to using met coal to produce steel for several decades. The fund trades at a trailing P/E of 11 compared to the S&P 500's trailing P/E of 30. The fund seeks to buy capital-light businesses with high returns on equity at no more than a bit more than tangible book value. The fund believes a metallurgical coal miner or offshore oil driller that earns even single digit returns can be a fantastic investment if purchased at a fraction of replacement cost. TAV operates 15 airports in 8 countries with guidance of 10-14% annual passenger growth across its airports, which may continue for decades. TAV has high operating leverage where if passengers grow 12%, cash flow may grow at more than 2x that. The fund believes it is led by an exceptional management team and is very cheap compared to other global airport operators. The fund is invested in a couple of U.S. homebuilders who have morphed into asset-light, efficient factories with shrewd capital return policies. The U.S. is structurally underbuilt with a deficit of 4-7 million homes. The high-quality, scale homebuilders have unique advantages that could allow them to capture a growing portion of this growing pie. Traditional car dealerships are hated by the market due to concerns with the rise of electric vehicles and the perception that EVs do not carry the same parts and repair content as traditional ICE vehicles. The fund believes the market's concerns are overblown and not valid. These are great businesses with high-margin recurring revenues that will continue for decades. The fund has a position in U.S. offshore oil services. Offshore accounts for 1/3 of global oil and gas production and breaks even at levels far below fracking. Drillships are complex and expensive with no new supply in the pipeline. The fund believes supply-demand tightness can yield very high day rates for these ships. | TAVHL TI |
