This technological singularity is expected to cause dramatic changes beyond typical generational disruptions. The fund focuses on identifying companies with sustainable competitive advantages in this transformative environment. SpaceX has revolutionized space travel with reusable rockets and dominates launch services, carrying over 500,000kg of spacecraft mass in Q3 2025 alone. The company is uniquely positioned for emerging opportunities in interplanetary logistics, in-orbit data centers, and asteroid mining. EchoStar provides indirect exposure to SpaceX through strategic transactions at attractive valuations. Starlink has achieved significant scale with millions of active customers and is expanding into direct-to-cell services for smartphones. The satellite internet constellation aims to deliver high-speed, low-latency broadband globally, particularly to underserved areas. This represents a major growth opportunity in telecommunications infrastructure. EchoStar's transformation involved monetizing valuable spectrum licenses worth billions, resolving regulatory issues with the FCC. The company sold spectrum to AT&T and SpaceX for over $40 billion combined, demonstrating the significant value of these invisible wireless highways. Remaining spectrum assets provide additional monetization opportunities. The fund holds luxury brands like Kering, Swatch Group, and spirits companies as AI-proof investments. These companies with strong brand moats and pricing power are expected to endure and potentially thrive despite AI disruption. Their business models are considered resilient to technological changes affecting other industries. | SATS |
