Bristlemoon June 2025 Quarterly Letter
APi Group, Salesforce, UnitedHealth Group and other commentary on the quarter
The Bristlemoon Global Fund returned -0.3 percent for the June 2025 quarter, with a -1.4 percent return for the month of June 2025, net of fees. For the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2025, the Fund produced a 13.7 percent return, net of fees.
Key contributors to the Fund’s performance in the June 2025 quarter included Uber Technologies, PAR Technology and APi Group. Notable detractors were AppLovin and Hemnet.
To be upfront, we are not satisfied with the Fund’s performance this quarter. The lacklustre performance was driven by two factors: 1) being too bearish regarding the impacts of tariffs; and 2) the volatility inherent in a concentrated strategy, with some of our larger stock positions declining during the quarter.
We want to spend this quarterly letter walking through both of these factors. At the same time, it is also worth noting that we are the most excited about the Fund’s portfolio of stocks that we have ever been. Later in the letter we detail three new stock positions that were initiated during the quarter: APi Group, Salesforce, and UnitedHealth Group.
