Our First Full Year: Amazing!
December 2024: -8.6% after fees. 2024 full year: 36.9% after fees. Since Inception (Oct 2023): 43.6% after fees.

Happy New Year.
As we step into 2025, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our investors and supporters for an incredible 2024. We are thrilled to stand among the top 10% of hedge funds in our first full calendar year.
We are humbled to set the bar so high. And, we are excited to reach even higher.
December Speed Bump.
The Fed and Santa were both a little grumpy in December. December’s volatility presented a short-term challenge but our loss mitigation system worked as expected. While we prefer if it were to never trigger, it is also comforting to see it working to reduce volatility when the time is right. All told, Solimar Fund returned -8.6% after fees in December compared to the S&P 500’s (SPY) -2.7% for the month.
On an annual basis, Solimar Fund returned an impressive 36.9% after fees, surpassing the SPY’s incredible 23.3% gain. Our 15 month lifetime return stands at 43.6% after fees.
Reflecting on an Exceptional Start.
2024 was an exciting year for Solimar Fund as we embarked on the path to achieve bold and ambitious goals: doubling the S&P 500’s (SPY) returns annually with half the SPY’s 5-year risk while avoiding negative returns in any year.
Despite a great 12-month return we didn’t quite reach our target of 2x the SPY this year. We came remarkably close. The vast majority of funds in the table below were not able to beat the SPY, let alone beat it by 1.6x.
Solimar goals.
Our goals are ambitious on purpose. Each day, month and year we will put in our best effort to achieve big results on your behalf. We love this business because it’s win-win! You grow, we grow. We are thrilled about it.
But this year was about more than just numbers—it was about laying a strong foundation. From a focus on capital raising to navigating market complexities, every step brought us closer to realizing the vision that inspired the launch of Solimar Fund.
Along the way, we demonstrated the strength of our disciplined approach, rooted in adaptability and risk management, while outperforming the majority of industry peers and positioning the Fund as a competitive player in the quant fund space.
Have a look at where some of our peers ended the year.
