|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 Q1 | May 22, 2025 | Goehring & Rozencwajg Associates, LLC | - | - | AAPL, AMZN, AR, BMW.DE, CCJ, CVX, FANG, GOOGL, IMPUY, META, MSFT, NFLX, NVDA, OXY, PXD, RRC, SBSW, SHOP.TO, TSLA, XOM | commodities, Drought, energy, gold, Mining, natural resources, Platinum, Shale | The bear market in platinum and palladium is drawing to a close after 16 years for platinum and 4 years for palladium. Demand shifts favor PGMs as EV adoption disappoints and hybrid vehicles require more PGMs than traditional ICE vehicles. Both markets are in structural deficit with supply constraints from South Africa and declining recycled supply. | View | |
| 2024 Q4 | Feb 3, 2025 | Hosking Partners | - | - | AAPL, ALS.TO, AMZN, GOOGL, META, MSFT, NVDA, PDL.L, SBSW | active ownership, AI, Big tech, Community Relations, Energy Transition, Esg, Mining, Social Issues | The energy transition remains a local and intensely social affair, with community relations and licence-to-operate becoming critical factors. The tension between local interests and global decarbonisation targets is intensifying, leading to a shift toward adaptation and resilience strategies rather than purely top-down emissions targets. | View | |
| 2025 Q3 | Nov 25, 2025 | Goehring & Rozencwajg Associates, LLC | - | - | ABX, CCJ, COPX, FCX, GDX, IMPUY, IVN, KAP, NVDA, NXE, OSX, SBSW, SIL, SLB, TSLA, URNM, XBM, XLE, XOM, XOP | Carry Regime, commodities, energy, gold, Mining, monetary policy, natural resources, oil | Gold continues strong performance with 16% gain in Q3 and 45% year-to-date. Western ETF buying remains robust with 200 tonnes accumulated in Q3. Central banks purchased 220 tonnes in Q3, maintaining steady accumulation. Gold bull market still in early stages despite some valuation measures flashing overvaluation signals. | View | |
| 2025 Q3 | Nov 17, 2025 | Kopernik Global All-Cap Fund | 12.5% | 52.2% | 003550.KS, 015760.KS, 030200.KS, 032640.KS, 1.HK, BIDU, CEN, GLEN.L, Gold, IMPUY, ITH, IVN.TO, NEM, NG, SA, SBSW, SLB, SQM, VALE, WRN | commodities, diversification, global, gold, materials, Mining, Platinum, value | Gold producers had another strong quarter with significant appreciation across holdings. The fund trimmed gold positions substantially from roughly 20% to around 8% of the portfolio as prices rose. Non-producing gold companies also performed well as the market began recognizing the optionality value of gold reserves. | View | |
| 2025 Q3 | Oct 21, 2025 | Tourlite Capital Management | -2.0% | 2.7% | ABUS, APG, FIP, FTAI, IONQ, NFE, OMAB, QBTS, QUBT, RGTI, ROIV, SBSW, TIC | Aviation, fundamentals, infrastructure, Long/Short, Quality, SPACs, Speculation, value | Fund operates as a long/short equity strategy capturing spread between long and short positions. Focuses on higher-quality businesses with positive earnings momentum on the long side while shorting companies with deteriorating fundamentals or unsustainable business models. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 7, 2026 | INN8 | 0.0% | 0.0% | AMZN, AU, BRK-A, CSCO, GFI, GOOGL, HMY, IMPUY, MRP.JO, PIK.JO, SBSW, SHP.JO, SPP.JO, TFG.JO, TRU.JO, WHL.JO | AI, Defense Spending, diversification, Global Markets, gold, rates, Trade Policy | AI remained the dominant theme driving US equity markets with the S&P 500 up 17.8% and Nasdaq gaining 21%. The AI trade broadened beyond chips to include data center companies, with three of the S&P 500's top 10 performers being data storage companies. Investment in AI infrastructure is reaching unprecedented levels with trillions in spending, though questions remain about whether revenue can justify the massive capital deployment. President Trump's hardline tariff agenda became one of the most consequential stories of 2025, lifting average tariff rates to nearly 17% from less than 3% at the end of 2024. The tariffs generated roughly $30 billion monthly for the US Treasury and brought world leaders to Washington seeking trade deals. Despite multiple rounds of meetings, a final agreement with China remains incomplete, with China using its leverage in rare earth minerals to push back against further tariffs. Safe-haven gold gained 65% in 2025, its best annual gain since 1979, driven by geopolitical uncertainties, expectations of US rate cuts, strong central bank buying, and the de-dollarisation trend. Gold mining companies delivered massive returns with Gold Fields up 200%, AngloGold up 242%, Harmony up 124%, Sibanye up 313%, and Implats up 204%. European defense shares surged 56% driven by pledges of higher defense spending across Europe. Germany is expected to spend up to a trillion euros on defense and infrastructure, reflecting the broader commitment to increased military expenditure across the region. The Fed cut interest rates three times in 2025, lowering the benchmark rate to 3.5%-3.75% range as employment growth slowed and unemployment rose. However, new projections show only one rate cut expected this year with further cuts likely on hold until inflation falls or unemployment rises more than anticipated. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 19, 2026 | Hosking Partners | 7.2% | 33.5% | 000660.KS, 005930.KS, 055550.KS, AA, AAPL, BARC.L, C, FCX, HCC, IMPUY, MSFT, MU, SBSW, STX, SYF, TIGO | AI, contrarian, emerging markets, Japan, Mining, Platinum, technology, value | The strategy maintains a contrarian value approach, betting on mean reversion after a decade of growth dominance. Valuation spreads have reached extreme levels with enterprise value to sales ratios spanning 100-fold, creating opportunities in undervalued sectors. The AI capital paradox is creating opportunities as technology leaders face increasing capital intensity. McKinsey estimates $5.2 trillion in physical asset investments by previously asset-light firms, likely compressing returns on assets and valuations. South African platinum group metals were major contributors with Impala Platinum up 243%, Sibanye Stillwater up 360%, and Northam Platinum up 298%. The metals and mining sector weighting of 12% versus 2% index exposure drove significant outperformance. The strategy maintains triple-weight exposure to Japan at 14% versus 5% index weight, betting on corporate restructuring and activist investor pressure. Over 50 holdings target companies with depressed ROA ratios capable of dramatic improvement. | View | |
| 2023 Q4 | Jan 25, 2024 | Desert Lion Capital | 19.3% | 36.6% | KRO, SBSW | Concentration, emerging markets, Mining, small caps, South Africa, value | Portfolio trades at 5x PE multiple with 20% earnings yield despite 12% earnings growth and 14% ROE. Manager emphasizes extreme valuation disconnect where high-quality companies trade at historically low multiples due to multiple compression rather than business deterioration. | View |
