The Praetorian Capital Fund Q2 2025 Investor Letter

Throughout the second quarter of 2025, the Praetorian Capital Fund LLC (the “Fund”) appreciated by 3.59% internet of charges. Given the Fund’s concentrated portfolio construction and deal with uneven alternatives, I anticipate that the Fund might be moderately risky from quarter to quarter. Throughout the second quarter, our core portfolio positions appreciated reasonably, whereas the Occasion-Pushed e-book produced a small loss that partly offset the appreciation within the core e-book.

I stay extremely annoyed with the Fund’s efficiency over the previous few quarters, and I do know that I can do higher. Whereas it’s straightforward guilty the truth that my types of corporations (smaller worth corporations) are out of favor presently, I additionally acknowledge that lots of our positions simply haven’t put up accelerating numbers. In the meantime, people who have put up such numbers, like Sprott (SII – USA) have rewarded us with appreciating share costs. Guilty a market regime is flawed, as markets are principally functioning as they all the time have, rewarding corporations with enhancing outcomes. As an alternative, I’ve failed in my quest to establish undervalued corporations with accelerating momentum, whereas changing into connected to sure concepts, usually failing to jettison them when the momentum stagnated. I really feel that after a multi-year interval with moderately sturdy efficiency, I merely acquired a bit over-confident in issues. This has periodically occurred to me, and luckily, not like prior comparable intervals in my investing profession, the drawdown for the reason that begin of 2024 has been moderately shallow—although risky.

Fortunately, our Occasion-Pushed profitability has hidden nearly all of the ache in our core portfolio, exhibiting the continued advantage of the two-legged technique that this Fund employs. For no matter purpose, the 2 are hardly ever in sync, and as a substitute are inclined to offset; therefore when the core e-book does effectively, the Occasion-Pushed e-book tends to stagnate, and when the core e-book does poorly, the Occasion-Pushed e-book tends to shine. Whereas I do know I can’t rely solely on the Occasion-Pushed e-book to all the time energy our efficiency, I’m appreciative that it’s incessantly there to offset weak spot within the core e-book and supply some liquidity.

All the identical, in Might, after a multi-quarter interval of irritating returns, I felt that it was time (overdue actually) for a tough reboot of types. Within the investing recreation, slumps are inevitable, and sadly, they’ve a method of feeding on themselves, which consumes capital as I make unforced errors. There’s something about not seeing the world appropriately, which then forces me to grow to be cussed and rigid. From expertise, I’ve discovered to acknowledge after I’m in a hunch, and as soon as I grow to be self-aware, it’s best to go for a tough reboot (of each the portfolio, and my outlook on issues).

That is actually not my first hunch, nor will or not it’s my final one. I’ve discovered that the best way to interrupt a hunch is to jettison all of the stagnant positions, and take away all of the distractions. I would like to show off my mind for a bit, and utterly step away from the markets. I would like to return again recent, with a little bit of contrition about what hasn’t been working, together with a plan to regulate in the direction of a greater path.

In Might, I dramatically diminished our portfolio publicity and left the markets for the higher a part of two months. Whereas I’m annoyed that lots of our gross sales may have been higher timed, I additionally acknowledge that value actions within the short-term are random noise, and one can’t actually select a really perfect time for a reboot—it’s Mom Market that tells you whenever you want one.

My most-recent prior exhausting reboot was in This autumn of 2019, throughout a time when the Fund’s numbers had been additionally moderately disappointing. Whereas I didn’t know that the COVID volatility was simply across the nook, the reboot actually cleared my thoughts, and gave me the pliability to understand a world in chaos throughout COVID. The truth is, lots of my prior exhausting reboots have additionally led to spectacular returns within the quarters after returning.

I’m again as of July, however plan to maneuver slowly when wading again into positions for our core e-book. I need to await new tendencies with excellent set-ups, in any other case, I intend to be additional affected person. This Fund has hardly ever been correlated to the general market, and I don’t care if the market goes up or down whereas we retain a big money place. Money is our edge right here, and I plan to attend for undiscovered, and newly inflecting tendencies, solely re-grossing the e-book as these tendencies come ahead. Having an more and more clear thoughts actually offers me the attitude to attend and be affected person. I don’t need to make unforced errors or needlessly danger our capital, till a perceived layup arrives on my desk. The nice benefit to our technique is that we will wait, doubtlessly a really very long time, for the fitting setup. That mentioned, I’m absolutely engaged on the Occasion-Pushed aspect, and have been posting first rate returns since I’ve returned. Within the risky world of Trump, I plan to allocate extra of our stability sheet to Occasion-Pushed alternatives—particularly as they appear to be working effectively.

The principle studying from my sojourn in This autumn/2019, was that the market’s consideration span had additional truncated. Not may I merely buy low-cost shares and wait for somebody to care. As an alternative, I wanted to attend for an precise inflection in enterprise efficiency, and grow to be one thing of a share-price chaser AFTER the flip. This perception has been invaluable over the previous few years, resulting in a multi-year interval of sturdy efficiency as we practiced ‘inflection investing’ as I prefer to name it.

Whereas away from the markets over the previous two months, I’ve had numerous epiphanies on why the previous yr (and actually the previous three years) has underperformed my expectations, and easy methods to run the portfolio higher. I do know that many traders like to speak about their aggressive benefits, however I’ve come to comprehend that I actually don’t have any nice benefits on the analysis aspect. A lot of my course of is just trusting my intestine. If I’m interested by one thing, it has a humorous method of working, and after I grow to be tired of one thing, it has a humorous method of falling aside. I incessantly have visceral views of issues, and an uncanny lack of ability to sleep when some place must be disposed of.

Competing traders, centered on harvesting real-time knowledge for nearly imperceptible aggressive benefits have limitless assets at their disposal, and we’re all the time going to lose the informational arms race in opposition to them. The place we will win is thru investing self-discipline, data of prior cycles, and most significantly, by harvesting the foibles of others who fixate on the fast, whereas ignoring that investing is a course of—what occurs a yr or two from at the moment, ought to get discounted at the moment, but hardly ever does, as traders more and more truncate their timeframe.

Sadly, I really feel like as this Fund has grown, I’ve over-embraced analytics and knowledge. I’ve listened to extra views on conditions, looking for solutions to the unanswerable. I began talking with extra administration groups, as I felt our scale gave us entry, which ought to theoretically be a aggressive benefit—it wasn’t a bonus. It solely served to anchor me as administration groups misdirected me from the reality. I hate to say it, however I drifted in the direction of changing into extra ‘institutional,’ which is the polar reverse of my very own character and course of. What has all the time made my course of particular is my capacity to maneuver quick and backfill the info afterwards; ‘make investments, then examine’ for lack of a greater conceptual view. Sadly, because the Fund has grown, I’ve grow to be slower to maneuver as I’ve feared market affect ought to I alter my thoughts—particularly with regards to jettisoning a place that’s not fairly working. Low liquidity is the nemesis of an lively dealer’s thoughts—inertia is worse.

As an alternative, I attempted to search out new analytical edges, when my edge has all the time been to close out the noise, take heed to the markets, and easily do my factor. I plan to do rather more of that going ahead. I can’t overthink issues—psychological muddle is my enemy. I have to work in a vacuum, alone with my ideas. I have to ignore everybody else’s opinions. The trail to superior returns comes from preserving capital and discovering the occasional homerun set-up. It isn’t by means of overanalyzing inconsequential particulars.

Markets are sometimes irrational, they usually defy logic. The trick is in seeing what could be, and what isn’t priced for what may very well be. Once I begin making an attempt to cost it, or over-analyze it, I lose my edge. The whole lot is a commerce. By their very nature, trades have guidelines, however they’re free-flowing expressions of feelings and private beliefs. Once I search for consensus, I willingly shut out the human aspect that guides my intestine really feel. Once I’m anchored by knowledge, I grow to be rigid. In the meantime, the market is there giving me clues about what’s truly occurring, however provided that I select to take heed to the market.

Once I look again on the previous three years, my investing errors weren’t terribly quite a few or pricey. I practiced good danger self-discipline, and had only a few positions that declined materially from our price foundation. Moderately, my uninspiring efficiency was attributable to tying up capital in stagnating positions, usually giving again prior beneficial properties. A extra attuned model of myself ought to have acknowledged the stagnation and jettisoned the positions sooner—sadly I had grown too connected to them. The abundance of information that we had collected, together with all my newly shaped contacts, gave me consolation in my selections, when the markets clearly advised me that I used to be flawed. Nevertheless, the a lot bigger purpose for weak efficiency was my lack of ability to reap the benefits of good concepts by making an attempt to overanalyze them, or ready for added knowledge, or extra incessantly, getting talked out of nice concepts by pals and staff. This has by no means been my type, and I need to attempt tougher to easily shut out opinions going ahead. Looking back, we missed out on many multi-baggers that we should always have capitalized on, and this was the nice divergence between the place precise outcomes landed, and the place I might have anticipated them to land. Appreciating what went flawed, then taking corrective motion is my focus right here.

In abstract, I need to mentally return to the way it was after I was buying and selling shares on my own, and also you guys all got here alongside successfully as a side-car to my private account. Although our back-office is sort of institutional, I don’t need this Fund to speculate with an ‘institutional’ mindset. I’m going again to my roots. This can be a fund that’s meant for buying and selling, and I need to get again to what I’ve all the time completed finest. I need to commerce on a number of time-frames, accepting that I’ll all the time have imprecise knowledge, however a greater sense of how the market may even see that knowledge sooner or later.

I would like the pliability to get up within the morning, and jettison a place on a whim. I need to measurement up and down with out qualms about what anybody could say. I need to be freed to easily choose danger vs. reward (with an over-anxious deal with the draw back of issues). I need to embrace extra liquid securities (those that the mob tends to chase after anyway). I need to return to being versatile.

I need to simply return to what has all the time labored for me.

I need to be me.

Considering Via Our Evolving Technique

Whereas away from the markets, I believed rather a lot about market construction. What has been working for us, and what has not been working. I consider strongly that at its core, investing is about shopping for undervalued companies with sturdy tailwinds. Within the shorter-run, the place I follow my commerce, there’s a sure rock-paper-scissors aspect to issues. A method appears to work for a interval, extra capital is deployed to reap these extra returns, after which the capital deployed outgrows the market, resulting in different untapped returns. These cycles usually take a few years, and even many years to play out.

I more and more suppose that the idea of ‘inflection investing’ has now overshot, and I genuinely marvel if shopping for good companies when deeply out of favor, and devoid of tailwinds, is as soon as once more viable as a method. Once I began in investing, there have been many well-funded value-oriented investing corporations. They served to set a ground underneath unpopular securities, making certain that they by no means acquired too low-cost. At this time, by means of 20 years of redemptions, these funding teams are shells of their former selves, in the event that they’re even within the markets in any respect. As an alternative, these that may harvest knowledge and guess subsequent quarter’s outcomes have all of the capital. This results in a world the place there isn’t any ceiling on valuations, nor a ground. Traders more and more fixate on rate-of-change, shopping for property with constructive charges of change, and shorting these with detrimental charges of change. Traders have grow to be more and more valuation-agnostic. They actually don’t care how a lot they pay for one thing, or how undervalued the factor is that they’re shorting. They merely consider that if subsequent quarter’s knowledge performs out as they count on, the overvalued will grow to be extra overvalued, and the undervalued will grow to be extra undervalued.

Throughout the center of final decade, shopping for low-cost property with out an inflection principally stopped working, it’s the explanation that I took a tough reset in 2019, returning with a deal with solely shopping for securities AFTER the inflection, even when this meant that I’d must pay up for the potential certainty that issues had been getting higher. I got here to comprehend that this reflexive course of ought to information my returns. So long as the enterprise outcomes had been up and to the fitting, the share value would proceed to understand. On the identical time, no safety ever appeared too low-cost, as it could merely get cheaper on the subsequent detrimental knowledge level. Specializing in valuation ensured that I’d undergo, even when the safety was unusually low-cost. The inflection was the one factor that mattered.

Now, I genuinely marvel if the tables have turned. I do know that that is very subjective, however I really feel like fine quality property now get far cheaper than I may have ever beforehand imagined, however solely when the subsequent few quarters are anticipated to be poor. In the meantime, whenever you look out a number of years, you may see nothing however rainbows—besides the lively capital at the moment doesn’t have a timeline that extends that far.

Again in 2019, I noticed that on the first signal of a constructive inflection, there can be nearly no change within the share value, as traders adopted a heavy dose of skepticism in the direction of what may very well be a possible inflection—in inflection investing, there are lots of false dawns. That gave us a possibility to pay a small premium to the undisturbed value, with the idea {that a} potential inflection was afoot. As all the time, the ratio between danger and reward is what drives an funding, and from a sensible sense, if I may danger solely the small change from the undisturbed value to see if the inflection had legs, unfold over many conditions, we had been certain to prosper.

Now, I more and more really feel that any excellent news results in an explosion within the share value, as each laptop mannequin is programmed to chase the inflection, and each quick has to cowl because the detrimental price of change has reversed. As an alternative, I genuinely marvel if it’s time to flip the script and buy into the depths of despair, moderately than chasing after the inflection. This may increasingly indicate that we’re prone to be early in each value and timing, as these securities are prone to go in opposition to us early within the course of, however when fine quality property get this low-cost, I ponder how a lot draw back is admittedly left. That is nonetheless an evolving thought-exercise, however I’ve all the time believed that to prosper at this recreation, that you must go the place the capital isn’t. Belief me, there’s nobody trying to purchase after dangerous information, with the expectation that there may very well be one other dose of dangerous information.

Over the previous two years, we’ve handed on many conditions that felt like cathartic bottoms, awaiting an inflection, solely to then see the shares rally materially within the weeks earlier than the primary excellent news arrived, with an acceleration after the arrival. As famous beforehand, there are lots of actually sensible individuals, with unbelievable knowledge mining skills. They will see turns earlier than the info is launched publicly by the corporate, they usually maintain shopping for after the info comes out. By the point we’d be making a purchase order, we’ll be chasing on the best way up, giving up loads of our edge. As an alternative, I ponder if it now pays to be a bit earlier within the course of and buy nice property with out clear tailwinds, however after the headwinds have subsided. I’m not speaking about shopping for new lows, and even shopping for low-cost corporations simply because they’re low-cost (I’m not silly sufficient to suppose that could be a viable technique). Moderately, I’m speaking about shopping for completely top-quality property after they’ve stopped happening, but earlier than they’ve inflected.

As famous, that is nonetheless a thought train, however It’s the path that my considering is evolving.

Macro Views

I’ve more and more come to comprehend that we don’t have a standard economic system anymore. We merely have asset bubbles which feed the wealth of the highest 10%, who coincidentally are roughly half of all home spending. When property go up, they are often borrowed in opposition to, with the tax-free proceeds spent to drive what’s left of the standard economic system. When the federal government desires to develop the economic system, what they’re actually speaking about is rising the dimensions and scale of the varied asset bubbles, although they could additionally try to create new bubbles. Whereas Trump (and lots of Presidents earlier than him) pay lip service to broad-based financial development, a real reorientation of the economic system is just too painful to undergo by means of. Trump couldn’t even undergo per week of turbulence after Liberation Day. It now appears apparent that they plan to sacrifice the Center Class to gas the asset bubbles. I don’t agree with this plan, however I acknowledge a plan after I see one.

Whereas I prefer to level out the financial struggling of flyover nation, there’s a sure brilliance to how our economic system is structured at the moment. Merely put, the world produces items that we devour, items which might be usually cheaper and of higher high quality than we ourselves may produce right here in America. Then they even lend us the capital to buy their items. Truthfully, there’s a sure irony of poor individuals in sweatshops, incomes minimal wages, after which lending us their meager financial savings to purchase the products they’re toiling to provide, however that’s successfully what’s occurring. Then, when the wealthier residents of those poor international locations, those that personal the sweatshops, take their earnings in {Dollars}, they usually recycle these {Dollars} into our monetary system, shopping for our monetary property, making our Greenback stronger, and growing our capability to purchase extra merchandise from their sweat retailers. Given the dimensions of the bubbles engendered, which have warped everybody’s perceptions of valuations, we not even must commerce them productive property for his or her recycled {Dollars}. As an alternative, we promote them shares in varied Ponzi Schemes and FartCoins. You could giggle, however we’ve been doing this for many years now—bear in mind CDOs Squared?? It is a tremendous system in the event you’re on the prime of the pyramid, and I perceive why nobody desires to make adjustments.

After all, this has created monumental imbalances in all types of economic and financial metrics. It has hollowed out our industrial capability and more and more hollowed out our center class, however tendencies in movement do have a method of constant—particularly if those that are closest to the motion, on either side of this commerce, revenue mightily. Trump has talked about fixing these imbalances, however I fear that the ache might be too nice to abdomen, although we appear to be giving it one other attempt with the latest spherical of tariffs. Because of this, I count on extra market turbulence.

What does the last word ascent of this bubble in nominal phrases appear to be?? Do we’ve one final monetary panic as Trump tries once more to reorient our economic system?? What about when inflation ultimately reaccelerates?? What about when fiscal dominance turns into apparent, and begins to crowd out the personal sector?? What about the truth that the actual economic system (mainly every little thing exterior of tech and AI) clearly appears to be rolling over??

A part of me thinks that we’re into “Venture Zimbabwe” and a part of me realizes that on the trail to the Zimbabwification of equities, you will need to first undergo by means of a Brazilian section the place rates of interest rise, fairness multiples compress, and most companies can barely cowl their debt service prices, a lot much less reinvest for development. That is then adopted by the Turkification of equities the place they then commerce at low single digit multiples, however the collapse of the forex propels them larger in nominal phrases. Solely then can fairness markets actually hyperinflate. This can be a multi-decade course of, however after I see fairness traders discussing this, they maintain considering that we will skip these steps, and easily enter the parabola to larger costs. In the meantime, most historic proof says that multiples compress on the best way there, and these may very well be multiples on declining earnings too.

Assume again to the fairness markets of Seventies; may that be a costume rehearsal for what’s unfolding at the moment? That actually wasn’t a robust interval for many equities—solely then, beginning asset values had been moderately tame. At this time, valuations are many normal deviations past historic norms. Ought to a crash collect momentum, the fiscal and financial response could skip us forward a number of steps, however that’s solely AFTER the crash. At this time, there nonetheless (sorta) are financial guidelines of engagement, even for Trump. He could need to run it sizzling, however he is working into roadblocks. Solely a disaster can unleash “Venture Zimbabwe,” and I feel due to this fact, that an financial disaster is inevitable.

I typically fear that my examine of bubbles and inflations, has in some way inured me with a exact view of the unfolding occasions, robbing me of the innate stupidity to easily get lengthy and keep lengthy. I fear that I could undergo the curse of over-engineering this factor. On the identical time, historical past does have a humorous method of rhyming. It felt lonely to name it “Venture Zimbabwe” on the lows of the Covid-induced cash printing spasm, proper earlier than equities mooned. It was lonely saying that we might haven’t any recession in 2022 and that cyclical companies had been fairly low-cost. Now, it feels lonely saying that almost all equities really feel moderately costly, particularly in an economic system that has stagnated and appears to be rolling over. The truth is, I feel it could have already rolled if not for the ‘wealth impact’ as equities and crypto make new highs—not precisely the bedrock of a robust economic system, particularly ought to these property roll over. Moreover, as famous earlier, I plan to belief my intestine with regards to my investing selections. This in all probability gained’t shock you, however my intestine says to remain on trip, and as far-off from equities as doable. I feel this present transfer larger will finish fairly badly.

Returning to the narrative, I can see issues getting into a number of instructions. As all the time, the primary rule of investing is to do nothing except it’s apparent. The second rule is to by no means lose cash. Someplace between these two aims, is how I’d describe our positioning at the moment. We personal beneficiaries of “Venture Zimbabwe” and we personal money as I’m scared all of it falls aside. Most of our positions are unusually liquid, and we will pivot quickly ought to both view take priority. Alternatively, we will wait it out till one thing extra apparent comes ahead, focusing our capital on Occasion-Pushed conditions, the place we proceed to reap very enticing returns.

Whereas I prefer to fixate on US equities, we will make investments globally, and in conditions which might be far much less of a knife’s edge by way of dangers. I’m often a man who’s usually flawed, however by no means unsure. After my compelled market vacation, I’m merely an opportunist. Let’s see which method issues roll, then get after it. Although, my finest guess stays that US markets are marking a multi-decade prime in GDP phrases, and there’s a lot of sizzling air down under. Folks maintain asking me the place the cash will circulation to subsequent. What if it merely vaporizes as a substitute??

I’m fairly assured that in actual phrases, it would vaporize, as that’s successfully been occurring for 20 years now in the event you evaluate fairness markets in opposition to a continuing like gold. What if that occurs in nominal phrases as effectively?? Nobody is ready for that. To paraphrase Chuck Prince, everybody’s too busy dancing to note that it’s going dangerous.

Place Assessment (High core place weightings at quarter finish from largest to smallest)

Treasured Metals Basket

In an inflationary world with lack of religion in Central Banks, valuable metals are inclined to do effectively. We personal three corporations that needs to be beneficiaries of valuable metals both appreciating or not less than staying at elevated costs. None of those corporations are immediately within the mining enterprise, which is dangerous and capital intensive—although one is a service supplier to miners.

Rising Markets Basket

For the previous decade and alter, Rising Markets have been in a relative bear market, as investor capital has migrated to US markets. Within the course of, many rising markets have gotten fairly low-cost when taking a look at them from a valuation perspective. This Fund has a candy spot for reasonable property, however Rising Markets have been low-cost for fairly a while now. You could possibly have mentioned the identical factor years in the past and certain be sitting on paper losses at the moment, whereas having tied up capital. What you want is a catalyst that unlocks this worth. I consider that catalyst is a possible decline within the US Greenback, tied to coverage adjustments emanating from the Trump Administration. For MAGA insurance policies to work, the US must observe a weak Greenback coverage. On the identical time, Rising Markets, which incessantly borrow in US {Dollars}, are hamstrung by a robust greenback, however a weakening greenback is a boon to their economies. Because of this, I’ve constructed up positions in varied Rising Markets which might be extremely impacted by the US Greenback, with the view {that a} weakening Greenback needs to be a catalyst for asset values.

St. Joe (JOE)

JOE owns roughly 167,000 acres within the Florida Panhandle. It has been extensively identified that JOE traded for a tiny fraction of its liquidation worth for years, however with out a catalyst, it was all the time perceived to be “useless cash.”

Over the previous few years, the inhabitants of the Panhandle has hit a vital mass the place the Panhandle now has a middle of gravity that’s attracting individuals who need to dwell in one of many prettiest locations within the nation, with zero state revenue taxes and few of the issues of huge cities.

The oddity of the present disdain for so-called “worth investments” is that lots of them are rising fairly quick. I consider that JOE could develop income at a fast price for the foreseeable future, with earnings rising at a a lot quicker clip. In the meantime, I consider the shares commerce at a horny a number of on Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO), whereas substantial asset worth is tossed in at no cost.

Moreover the valuation, development, and excessive Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) of the enterprise, why else do I like JOE? For starters, land tends to understand quickly during times of excessive inflation. Extra importantly, I consider we’re witnessing a large inhabitants migration as individuals with means select to flee huge cities for someplace peaceable.

I believe that each convulsion of city chaos and/or tax-the-rich scheming will launch JOE shares larger, and it’ll finally be seen as the best way to “play” the stream of very rich refugees fleeing for someplace higher.

In abstract, at quarter-end, we’re sitting on a e-book that’s nearly 40% money. I intend to be affected person and re-engage when one thing apparent occurs. Till then, I plan to pivot extra of our capital into Occasion-Pushed methods. I stay satisfied that whereas the markets might be larger sooner or later, first, they could undergo. Fortuitously, our money stability offers us the pliability to maneuver with no matter unfolds.

Sincerely,

Harris Kupperman
