Since the fund’s inception the objective of The Tantallon Fund has been to generate superior long term returns for investors. We track performance in both our un-hedged long book as well our overall net returns to ensure that notwithstanding near term market sentiment and volatility, our long term fundamental investment convictions remain in line with objectives. We believe that investing for the long term means investing through different cycles. While we measure ourselves against both absolute as well as relative benchmarks, our investors appreciate that it is often as important to avoid falling into holes - especially the big ones excavated by major economic cycles, as it is seeking to reach common heights when growth is commonplace.

TANTALLON FUND REPORT

Tantallon Fund Report, 
June 2024

The fund rose +.97bps, taking us to +33.84% ytd.

A frustrating month, with some sharp gains in our tech names offset by weakness in our copper positions, a dip in shipping and, most infuriatingly, a 25% surge in TSLA in the last week of the month, sparked by some jaw-dropping comments from Cathy Wood predicting a 2029 price of $2600/share on the back of its robo-taxi development; interestingly her prediction attached zero value to reports that Musk is donating his sperm to start a colony on Mars. Tesla now commands a price/earnings multiple double that of Nvidia, whose valuation is increasingly the cause of much hand-wringing on the sustainability of the AI theme. I know who I’d back to be at $2600 in 2029!
