2020 Q2 Performance and Notes

Hello

KDK Fund is happy to report that it has had an amazing time of it since it started back on March 23rd of this year. The fund is focused on building wealth through investing available (financial, human, networking, etc.) capital to companies and projects that match its value and profit potential pillars.


Notes

- The fund currently has investments in companies that are working on providing value in the areas of Climate Change through Hannon Armstrong and Hive Blockchain, Cryptoassets (think Bitcoin and Ethereum) mining through Hive Blockchain, DNA Therapeutics through Voyager Therapeutics, Space Travel through Virgin Galactic, and an SPAC (blank check company) through Social Capital Hedosphia with a focus on non-USA tech. Previous investments included one covering Lidar, an important component in autonomous vehicles through Microvision. 

- From March 23rd, the fund has grown by 280%. There are a few reasons for this.
     - First, this quarter was the highest gaining quarter for the market since 1987. Most everyone made money if you were on the long side starting in March. This is not normal and not expected going forward.
     - Second, added funding came in from our partner KDK Options. The added volatility has increased their business. We are beneficiaries of their work as a percentage of their profits comes to the fund. Unlike the first point, we do expect higher capital funding from KDK Options going forward.
     - Third, we were able to find companies and projects to invest in that were hit hard in March, yet reached our target sell prices way sooner than expected. This allowed us to roll over the capital into other investments.

- We were also able to start the second of our investment goals; dividend paying investments supporting these initiatives. A link to that blog post can be found here.


We are expecting the rest of the year to be an accumulation period for the fund. We plan to incorporate investments that we will be able to sell call options for extra revenue by the end of the year. Good luck to all.

Financials In Correction Mode

This week, financial stocks have entered a correction mode. They are now more than 10% off of their highs. The below chart of Financial ETF XLF shows the decent. The chart is weekly to show the decent easier.  The 20 day and 50 day moving averages confirm the downtrend.

More Shares of Ford Purchased

Because of adding capital and some successful recent trades from KDK Options (USO trade here and FXY trade here), KDK Fund has purchased more shares of Ford. The cost per share was $11.63 before commissions and fees. There is no price or time frame to sell.

The dividend will increase 25% from last quarter's regular $0.15 dividend. Because of reinvestment of dividends, the increase will be higher. The total quarterly dividend for the fund will increase 20%. Reinvested dividends account for 4% of the total owned shares of Ford.

KDK Fund is very excited to continue to build wealth and provide needed assistance to important charitable ventures like Shriner's Hospital in Chicago.
