Summary
The February 2026 letter to investors from Savana Asset Management discusses the performance challenges faced by the Savana US Small Caps Active ETF (SVNP). The fund experienced a decline of -2.02% net of fees, primarily attributed to currency movements as the USD depreciated by 1.8%. Software stocks faced a downturn due to concerns about AI-driven disruption, which was exacerbated by the release of Anthropic’s Claude Code. Despite NVIDIA's strong financial performance, its stock price fell, reflecting broader uncertainty in the tech sector. The report emphasizes the importance of diversification, noting that Savana’s investment strategy involves high-conviction, diversified portfolios. Savana avoids pursuing popular trends or 'hot stocks' and instead focuses on companies with robust fundamentals. The report also highlights significant capital investments by major tech companies in AI infrastructure, pointing out the potential benefits for small and mid-cap companies involved in building the AI economy's infrastructure.
