A copy of the letter is available to download here
In Q2 2026, the Micro Opportunities strategy underperformed the Russell Microcap Index, despite a positive absolute result. The benchmark performed well during a speculative period for micro caps. Over the past twelve months, the strategy has lagged behind the index.
Industrials was the best-performing sector while Information Technology lagged. An accelerating artificial intelligence buildout and a persistent geopolitical supply shock drove the market in the quarter. While the micro-cap rally exhibited speculative traits with significant returns in areas avoided by design.
