Samco Special Opportunities Fund
The manager is tilting heavily toward value and cyclical recovery, with banks commanding over a fifth of assets while metals, power, and industrial plays reflect conviction in economic reopening and infrastructure demand. The aggressive portfolio churn—adding fourteen names including mining and power stocks while exiting financials and insurance—signals a tactical shift toward tangible assets and away from defensive plays. This concentrated positioning (top-10 at 35%) bets on sustained industrial momentum but carries elevated idiosyncratic risk if the economic cycle disappoints.
