Monolith Management, a Hong Kong-based hedge fund, has reported a remarkable 53% return year-to-date, driven by strategic investments in semiconductors, data centers, and a surge in Chinese investments. With current assets under management of $300 million, the firm plans to launch a new fund in January, expanding its long-short equity strategy to approximately $500 million. This performance significantly outpaces the average return of 12.8% for Asia's equity long-short funds, as estimated by Goldman Sachs.
The fund's success stems from targeted bets on U.S. and Taiwan semiconductor stocks within the AI supply chain and investments in U.S. data center infrastructure. Co-founder Timothy Wang highlighted the anticipated tripling of data center scale in the U.S. over the coming years, alongside gains from crypto and bitcoin miners. By adjusting its exposure to Chinese internet and consumer stocks, Monolith adeptly navigated market volatility, maintaining a nimble approach to capitalize on potential market dips.
