Management Commentary :

​

Negatives : The fund continued to experience headwinds this month due to the ongoing strengthening of the U.S.D. As the fund is reported in USD, the nominal value of these currencies has been negatively impacted (for reporting purposes only), however, no material loss was incurred, furthermore, any positions that are USD denominated but primarily generate revenue in a currency other than USD have experienced a drop in share price. We expect this to be transitory and correct over the coming months. This was partly due to the US elections, worries over inflation, tariffs and the concern that rates may be higher for longer, which has been reflected in the bond market.

 

Positives :  We continue to outperform the SP500 and this year is no different. Since inception we have consistently beat the index, paying a higher dividend and having a lower Beta despite the aforementioned headwinds. We have17% cash reserves ready to take advantage of opportunities and volatility this year.  We took some profits on Tech and Com Services given the run-up this year, exited some of our legacy positions such as AT&T with a 30% gain, and have added companies from housing stocks to logistics to basic materials and industrials, all of which will benefit from the lower interest rate environment that we are heading in to. We also added to our Bond positions, to reduce our cash position as we see rates reduce but also because of the inverse nature between bond pricing and yields. We still have very little exposure to China or any countries President Trump is expected to target with tariffs. The overall volatility of the fund remains constant with a Beta of .8956, which is still significantly lower than the SP500 and a dividend of 2.53 which is double the SP500’s of 1.248

 

Conclusion : We are pleased with the fund's performance this month and year and remain confident about the fund's continued success. It is no small undertaking to compete with the SP500 in a rising market when it remains 100% invested while we are only at 80%, however, when the market pulls back (and it will), given our low-risk score, low beta and cash position we will be in an excellent position to add stocks trading at a discount. For more information please read the annual shareholders letter.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

 

All investments involve the possibility of profit and the risk of loss, including the loss of principal. This document does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to purchase any security or investment product. All information is current as of the date hereof and is subject to change in the future.

 

  1. Performance results are presented on a net-of-fee basis. Net returns reflect the deduction of, among other expenses, management fees, brokerage commissions and administrative fees, and include the receipt or reinvestment of all dividends, interest, and capital gains from our underlying portfolio companies. Parallel Tangent Capital (the“Company”) is not a Public Company and is structured as a private investment fund. The Net Asset Value ("NAV')per share is calculated using a constant formula to assist the reader in understanding the Net returns generated by the company and the NAV of the fund. The author believes this is an accurate representation of the performance of the Company. Depending on the timing of an individual investor’s specific investment, net performance for an investor may vary from the net performance as stated herein. Performance data and other information contained herein are unaudited but the author has undertaken to ensure the information is accurate except where decimal rounding is used. Performance is based on the dollar return for the specific period, including any dividend, interest or bond payments received by the Company, calculated from the beginning to the end of such period on a non-accrual basis, the aforementioned is only recorded upon receipt of payment.

  2. For the purpose of determining the equity and debt exposures, investments are valued based on stock price after the market closes on the last day of the month, should the market be closed on this date, the close price on the previous trading day will be used. 

  3. Large Cap is defined by companies with a Market Capitalisation of greater than $5 Billion, Mid Cap is defined by companies with a Market Capitalisation of no greater than $5 Billion but greater than $1 Billion and Small Cap is defined by companies with a Market Capitalisation less than $1 Billion. 

  4. Portfolio composition is calculated using the publicly disclosed sector allocation for each holding as of the date of this report. A position in an issuer is only assigned to a sector once it has been publicly disclosed.

  5. Where the Company holds shares in an ETF or a Publicly Traded Investment Holding Company, given the complex composition of those holdings it is not possible for the percentage allocated per sector to be valued precisely, therefore the combined value of these positions has been pro-rated based on the SP500 sector composition. These will be recalculated in January each year. For any ETF holding using the NSDAQ 100 or similar as its benchmark, given its Tech sector bias, the full amount has been allocated to the Tech percentage of the Company composition. The company may provide weightings for any ETF or similar upon request and no assumptions should be made regarding the weighting in the sector allocation.

  7. No assumptions should be made from any of the information provided on the PTC website and clarification should be prior to making any investment decisions.
