| 2025 Q4 | Mar 6, 2026 | Bumbershoot Holdings | - | 13.0% | CAMT, CF, CTRA, FSLR, Gold, GOOGL, HRI, IPI, KGF.L, LGND, MDGL, MU, NPKI, NTR, ORN, OSIS, OSK, VKTX, VMEO, VPG | Concentration, liquidity, Multi-Strat, Reflation, Selection, semiconductors, technology, value | AI remains a primary market driver but questions emerge about whether it will be hugely deflationary to the job market and SaaS technology ecosystem. The manager notes AI will transform the world and productivity but questions its investability and who wins. The manager expects the next reflation cycle will be substantial, with liquidity flooding the system and searching for places to flow. Money needs to be absorbed and finds its way into financial assets, durable businesses, and anything with credible narratives. Core gains were led by semiconductor-related adjacencies including Micron and Camtek. The fund remains particularly focused on key critical OS platform businesses and semiconductor-related adjacencies. Materials sector exposure to the agricultural-fertilizer industry via Intrepid Potash, Nutrien, and CF Industries was a positive contributor to results. The fund maintains exposure across the fertilizer value chain. Long-standing position in gold and copper miner Barrick Mining finally moved higher as a reflection of gains in the underlying yellow metal. The fund maintains exposure to precious metals mining. Playing on the continued theme of infrastructure spending, defense and energy sustainability, positions in Industrial and Energy sectors including Oshkosh, Coterra, OSI Systems, and Herc Holdings added positively to performance. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 27, 2026 | Gate City Capital | 2.7% | 15.4% | 1211.SR, ALCO, APP, BTU, DSP, EVC, HTLD, IPI, JAKK, MOS, TTD, XOM | Agriculture, energy, Media, Precious Metals, real estate, small caps, value | Gold and silver prices have continued their meteoric rise as large investors including central banks seek alternatives to U.S. Treasuries to preserve wealth. Silver prices rose nearly 150% in 2025, with both gold and silver reaching record highs. The inability of mining companies to increase production to meet elevated demand has led to soaring prices. The fund holds significant positions in fertilizer companies including Mosaic and Intrepid Potash. Mosaic is a market leading producer of potash and phosphate fertilizers in North America and the largest producer in Brazil. Intrepid produces potash from three U.S. solution mines and also mines Trio fertilizer, with potential for market share gains after competitor exits. Peabody Energy was the fund's top contributor in 2025, benefiting from strengthened domestic thermal coal prices as data center build-out strains the U.S. power grid. Metallurgical coal prices have increased substantially after a soft contracting season. Peabody's low-cost Centurion mine in Australia is ramping up production. Entravision was the fund's top performer in Q4, owning 49 television stations and 44 radio stations targeting Hispanic audiences. The company also operates a rapidly growing Advertising Technology & Services segment through Smadex subsidiary. Deregulation in broadcast television and radio should encourage industry consolidation. Alico continues as the fund's largest position, owning nearly 50,000 acres in Florida previously devoted to citrus farming. The company is undergoing strategic transformation, converting 75% of citrus acres to other agricultural purposes and 25% to higher and better use opportunities including residential and commercial developments. Heartland Express contributed positively as the extended three-year slowdown in U.S. trucking market shows signs of abating. Supply of available trucks has decreased as orders for new equipment have fallen sharply, while stricter enforcement of Commercial Drivers Licenses has decreased available drivers. Demand rose in holiday season with spot rates reaching multi-year highs. | ALCO JAKK IPI MOS HTLD BTU EVC |
