Periods longer than one year are annualized. All results are net of all fees and expenses. Past returns are no guarantee of future results. Please see the end of this letter for additional disclosures. May was a challenging month for our strategy. Our long positions declined significantly and were only partially offset by our index shorts. See the appendix for more details. One-month results are almost all noise, and one should not attach too much weight to such a short time period. Year-to-date, our strategy has returned more than double that of the S&P 500 index, +18.95% vs. +9.68%, respectively. June is also off to a good start. During May, global markets have been gripped by an AI mania, with ChatGPT and other AI tools dominating the headlines. AI-related stocks such as Nvidia (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOG) (GOOGL), and semiconductor companies performed extremely well, and most other stocks declined. Our only exposure in this area is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSM), a leading global chip foundry that is trading at a very reasonable valuation, has a nearly unassailable competitive advantage, and in contrast to USbased companies, does not have a megalomaniac CEO with an enormous pay package. As most of our stocks are not “AI winners” they suffered with the rest of the market, while our index hedges declined less than expected because banking stocks performed well during the month – another sector in which we have no exposure. To be fair, this pattern of semiconductor stocks outperforming everything else has been going on all year: the market has been led by only a handful of stocks, “the magnificent seven”, with most other stocks lagging. Despite this, we were able to outperform during the first four months of the year, but this effect became extreme in May. It felt like life was being sucked out of almost all stocks, with investors selling them to buy the “AI darlings”. As a long-term, fundamentally focused investor, I care and think about the intrinsic value of the companies I invest in. I believe stocks represent a partial ownership stake in a real business, and not just pieces of paper to speculate on or quotations on a computer screen that flicker all day. I will never chase speculative fads or try to generate short-term investment results by knowingly investing in fads, because I believe that this would be detrimental to long term results. The market is now extremely unbalanced: a small number of stocks (Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple (AAPL), etc.) account for a historically high % of the total stock market value. The very high expectations embedded in their stock prices leave them vulnerable to a sharp reversal when they inevitably disappoint. I have no way of knowing when this will happen, but I know it is only a matter of time. This is not a prediction, but a mathematical certainty. Goldman Sachs I continue to focus on executing our strategy. I remain confident that we will exceed our high-water mark later this year and I expect a strong year ahead. I believe the companies we own have strong competitive advantages and they continue to execute well. I am certain that their stock prices will soon follow. As always, I look forward to hearing from you and answering any questions you might have. Thank you for your continued interest and support.

Numbers may not add up due to rounding. Net returns are net of a hypothetical 1% annual management fee (charged quarterly) and a 20% annual performance fee.

APPENDIX I: PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION SOFTWARE OVERVIEW LRT separates the discretionary and qualitative process of selecting the equity holdings from the portfolio construction process which is systematic and quantitative. Our quantitative process considers each position’s contribution to portfolio volatility, contribution of idiosyncratic vs. systematic risk, and portfolio factor (size, value, quality, momentum, vol, etc.) exposures. The system outputs target portfolio weighs for each position. We trade mechanically to rebalance the portfolio each month to the targeted exposures. This eliminates emotions, human biases, and overconfidence risk. Example system output: DISCLAIMER AND CONTACT INFORMATION LRT Capital Management, LLC is an Exempt Reporting Adviser with the Texas State Securities Board, CRD #290260.
