Anantam International SPC Fund - 6 SP
- January was an exceptional month for the fund and marks the single best month of investor returns since Pinetree’s inception. We started the year on a strong footing, but as market euphoria began to build, our focus decisively shifted toward risk management.
- Having learned early in my career that markets are most dangerous when returns come easily, we consciously moved into capital-protection mode. Our priority through the latter part of the month was not to chase momentum, but to safeguard gains already made for investors.
- We have added portfolio hedges and continue to operate in a risk-management framework. Importantly, this has been done without making any material changes to core asset allocations, reflecting our belief that discipline matters more than activity at this stage of the cycle.
- Mega-cap technology companies are expected to spend close to $800 billion on capital expenditure this year. While these figures attract headlines, we continue to believe that the real opportunity lies in the so-called "boring" parts of the market - U.S. infrastructure, the power grid, and the broader electrification ecosystem, which stand to benefit from sustained, non-discretionary investment.
- Energy equities have begun to strengthen, validating our long-held views. We remain constructive and bullish on the sector, particularly in a world where underinvestment collides with structurally firm demand.
Investment Objective
To generate income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in listed securities of developed and select emerging markets. The strategy is implemented mainly through US-listed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and listed equity securities. Exposure to listed debt or debt-linked instruments, including exchange-traded notes (ETNs), may be taken opportunistically. The fund does not invest in unlisted securities.

Benchmarks
Equity Benchmark – iShares MSCI ACWI ETF (ACWI): Tracks the MSCI All Country World Index, covering large and mid-cap stocks across 23 developed and 24 emerging markets, representing approximately 85% of global equity market capitalization with U.S. exposure of 64.28%. Serves as a comprehensive reference for global equity performance.
Bond Benchmark – iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG): Tracks the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, representing the U.S. investment-grade bond market including Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, and corporate bonds. Serves as the standard reference for U.S. fixed income performance.
Real Assets Benchmark – VanEck Real Assets ETF (RAAX): Provides diversified exposure to commodities, natural resource equities, REITs, infrastructure, and gold. Selected to capture the role of real assets as an inflation hedge and as a diversifier against equity and bond risks.
Peers in the space typically use a 60:40 blend of the MSCI World Stock Index and Bloomberg Global Bond Index as a benchmark. However, we have chosen to present three distinct benchmarks, each at 100% weight, to more clearly reflect PineTree’s investment style and asset allocation.
The inclusion of a real assets benchmark reflects our macro view: as early signs of a multipolar currency world emerge, global supply chain efficiency will be tested, driving procurement costs higher. At the same time, developed economies face mounting debt. In this environment, real asset owners such as commodity producers and efficient commodity procurers are well positioned to benefit. Incorporating real assets into the benchmark increases the challenge for our fund, as hard commodities also serve as an important hedge against inflation.
Together, ACWI, AGG, and RAAX provide a transparent framework to evaluate PineTree’s performance across global equities, U.S. fixed income, and real assets. Each benchmark was selected for its accuracy in representing the targeted asset class and relevance to the current macroeconomic environment.
