For Q1 2019, TSC Contrarian Fund generated a net return of 19.40%, while S&P 500 returned 13.65%, beating the S&P 500 index in one of its best performing quarters in history.

Despite the strong market rally, our short basket performed well detracting only 5%. Online used-car retailer Carvana jumped 77% during the first quarter making the biggest contribution to the fund's performance.

As the S&P 500 index recovered fast from the December crash and continues its 10-year-long bull market, we reduced our net exposure to maintain a well-hedge portfolio to protect against potential market downturns.
