US equity markets continued their bull run led by technology sector and AI-related names, with Nvidia surpassing US$3 trillion in market cap.

GDEN, GLIBA, GRBK, IOR, JEF, LNW, MCHB, MLCI CN, MREO, NLOP, NSTS, SEG, SOHOO, TURN | Capitalreturns, catalysts, distressed, specialsituations, value | The year-end review reflects a contrarian, special-situations-driven value approach amid significant underperformance versus the S&P 500. The portfolio focuses on distressed equities, REIT liquidations, take-privates, and idiosyncratic balance sheet mispricings where catalysts such as sales processes, buyouts, or capital returns can unlock value. Value investing is framed as lumpy and uncomfortable, with long-term success dependent on patience, downside analysis, and selective conviction rather than benchmark alignment. | TURN SOHOO LNW JEF FI GDEN FWRD BHR |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 27, 2026 | Buckley Capital | 2.6% | 21.4% | ALL, BFIT, DAVE, FTAI, GE, HLT, HWM, IHG.L, IWG.L, LNW, LQDA, MAR, PRTH, RR.L, RTX, SAF.PA, UTHR, VRNA, WLFC | aerospace, Europe, Fintech, gaming, Inflection, small caps, turnaround, value | Light & Wonder represents a high-quality duopoly business with Aristocrat in slot machine manufacturing and distribution globally. The company has engineered a remarkable turnaround over the last 5 years, transitioning from an overlevered business losing market share to an appropriately levered company now growing market share substantially. Basic-Fit is the dominant low-cost gym operator in Western Europe and represents the largest position. The company built a highly standardized, low-cost gym model delivering attractive price-to-value for members and high incremental returns on capital. 2026 is expected to be the inflection year as clubs opened since 2023 have reverted to pre-pandemic performance. Willis Lease Finance is a niche leader in commercial aircraft engine leasing, specializing in midlife engines. The aerospace backdrop is exceptionally strong with supply chain bottlenecks, engine reliability issues, and record order backlogs driving years of elevated demand. New engine production is effectively sold out for years. Dave is a high-growth, profitable neobank offering mobile digital banking services and small-dollar advances to customers often ignored by traditional banks. The company's Extracash product drives majority of revenues and represents a better option than payday loans or bank overdraft fees for consumers. Liquidia recently pre-announced very strong results and is expected to generate around $600-700m in sales this year and $1bn next year. The main issue continues to be lack of resolution around the patent infringement court case with competitor United Therapeutics, but the position is fully hedged. Priority Tech Holdings is exceptionally well-positioned within the financial services and payments industry, benefiting from high profitability, strong free cash flow returns, and a predictable business model. Over 90% of the company's business is either recurring or reoccurring, providing high predictability. | LQDA DAVE IWG LN LNW PRTH WLFC |

The market showed unusually concentrated focus on AI and its immediate beneficiaries throughout 2025, with limited investor attention for performance not tied to artificial intelligence. Gaming holdings provided positive contributions with Light & Wonder rebounding following technical selling pressure and Churchill Downs advancing as operating trends normalized. The gaming sector showed resilience despite broader market headwinds affecting other areas of the portfolio. Online travel platforms contributed positively with Expedia benefiting from improved execution in its consumer business and continued strength in its business-to-business segment. The travel sector demonstrated solid fundamentals amid the challenging market environment. Real estate was a significant source of pressure, particularly Alexandria Real Estate Equities which declined due to slowdown in biopharma research spending and excess laboratory capacity weighing on leasing demand and rental growth expectations. The position was exited due to ongoing uncertainty and dividend cut. | CPAY CWST ARE CHDN EXPE LNWO |

Data center companies like Marvell continue to benefit from hyperscaler buildouts despite DeepSeek concerns. SailPoint's AI integration has expanded its addressable market for identity security solutions. | View |
