The company raised nearly $1 billion in fresh equity capital to be shovel ready for construction upon federal approval. International Petroleum Company's Blackrod project is coming online later in 2026 ahead of schedule and under budget. The company has self-funded a major greenfield oil project while simultaneously buying back 10% of its available free float per year. Genus received FDA approval for its porcine gene-edit for Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome, which has the potential to eliminate a disease costing U.S. pig producers at least $1.2 billion per year. This prior free call option alone has the potential to 2-3x company operating profit over the next 5-7 years. Swatch remains the most intelligent way for investors to bet on the bright future of the premium and luxury watch industry. The company's recent impressive product launches underpin faith that it will capture a stabilized and improving Chinese consumer and make further inroads in the US market. Jack in the Box is a top 20 restaurant brand by sales that had seen its stock fall on hard times. The company can be re-energized through an increased focus on operational excellence, further digital and marketing innovation, and smart capital allocation. | JACK UHR SW GNS LN IPCO CN NXE |

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 |

The fund benefited from AI-related dynamics, particularly through Samsung's memory products experiencing substantial price increases due to DRAM shortages driven by AI demand. The fund focuses on investing in companies with low valuations that are unloved, ignored, or out of favor but remain fundamental to the global economy. Despite persistent bubble discussions, opportunities continue to exist away from media headlines in companies trading at attractive valuations. New investment in Swatch represents exposure to luxury watch brands including Omega, Longines, Tissot, and others. The investment thesis is based on tangible assets including Swiss real estate and the potential for operating leverage when luxury demand recovers from current structural pressures. | View | |
