🔍 Watchlist & Tactical Pipeline
We're actively monitoring the following themes for potential entry:
Digital finance infrastructure — Watching for entry into global payment rails, API banking enablers, and enterprise fintech platforms showing relative strength or dislocation. Select large-cap platforms may be added on tactical weakness.
GLP-1 knock-on effects — Tracking setups around demand displacement, delivery innovation, and cost rebasement. Still early innings in the margin and volume reallocation narrative.
Distressed energy rotation — Building exposure to undervalued or structurally mispriced energy and nat gas operators with torque to price normalization or operational inflection. Focus remains on asymmetry over headlines.
Connectivity & defense tech — Monitoring infrastructure software and security enablers showing consistent trend strength. Emphasis on scalable, mission-critical platforms.
All are being tracked for actionable dislocations or confirming inflections.
