Our monthly comments
Data as of: Aug 29, 2025.Performance commentary
• In August, the fund posted a negative performance, driven by our Short book and hedging.• Within our Core Longs, we suffered from the AI weakness as investors grew concerned around the ROI of AI, with comments from Sam Altman and companies like Meta restructuring their AI division leading to a negative sentiment.
• Our positions in SAP and Microsoft suffered from this uncertain narrative.
• On the Trading Long, our position in Fresenius drove returns as they reported another solid quarterly print.
• The turnaround story of the company continues with some attractive mid-tern catalysts which can lead to growth acceleration into 2026.
• On the short side, we suffered from the market rotation, with names like LVMH rallying and some short squeezes.

Outlook strategy
The net exposure of the strategy stayed relatively low throughout the month in the 10-20% range, as we reduced some of our exposure on the Tech side.
We keep strong convictions on the Long side in European companies excelling globally and benefiting from local monopolies.
These include industries such as luxury goods, specialty engineering, ERP software, specialty chemicals, medical technology, aerospace and defense, and classifieds.
We believe Europe presents for the first time in a long time a very attractive entry point, with a risk/reward skewed to the upside thanks to several factors we discuss in our latest quarterly letter.
Germany has removed the fiscal drag which has weighted on Europe for more than a decade and the upcoming defense and infrastructure historic investment plan will have a profound impact on the overall region.
On the short side, we continue to find many new names in the Consumer and Industrials spaces with poor balance sheets and deteriorating fundamentals, bringing tightened margins and profit warnings.

Market environment
• The Tech sector experienced a relative underperformance following growing skepticism around the secular AI theme’s fundamentals, given the rich valuations and elevated positioning.
• In the Long/Short Equity space, European funds struggled with one of the worst alpha months since January 2022 driven by losses from concentrated longs, utilities and the French political instability.
