Ovata Capital Management's Q4 2025 13F is one of the more interesting filings I've reviewed this season.
Why? Because at $823M, every position is a deliberate choice. No index filler. No ETF padding. This is a concentrated global book that tells you exactly what the manager believes.
The Holdings That Stand Out
- Spotify (SPOT): Betting on the platform economics of audio
- Ryanair (RYAAY): European low-cost carrier with pricing power
- TSM (Taiwan Semi): The chip foundry that everyone depends on
These three names together paint a clear picture: the fund is betting on companies with structural competitive advantages in different geographies and sectors.
Why Concentrated Funds Are Worth Tracking
When a manager runs a $823M book with a concentrated position set, every name carries weight. Compare this to a $6T passive giant where even a $10B position is rounding error.
At Ovata's scale:
- A 5% position = ~$41M of conviction
- Adding or exiting a name is a real decision, not rebalancing
- The portfolio is the thesis — no noise to filter
The Global Angle
Spotify (Sweden/US), Ryanair (Ireland), TSM (Taiwan). This isn't a US-only manager copying the S&P. This is someone with a global mandate making specific bets on companies that dominate their respective markets.

What's your favorite concentrated fund to track? I find the $500M-$2B range has the best signal-to-noise ratio.
