Montaka Global Investments, an investment management company, released its second-quarter 2025 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. The firm is focused on sustainably compounding its portfolio over the long term. The June quarter was interesting for investors. In the first week, Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariff policy caused a double-digit drop in the S&P 500. However, the index then rebounded nearly 25%, despite ongoing Israeli and US attacks on Iran. Although volatile, such market swings can create attractive investment opportunities. Montaka’s portfolio is highly concentrated, with the top 10 investments representing 76% of the portfolio.
