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.

Virgin Galactic Equity Stake Started

The fund has purchased shares of Virgin Galactic. Shares were purchased for $16.95. The fund will likely be holding this stock well into the future while also understanding that this is a new company in a new industry.

This company is one that we believe will improve life, stretch the capacity of the human existence, and benefit financially for taking the risk to do so. The company's mission can be found on their website by clicking here.  The reason why the mission is not simply posted is that you need to experience the website. There is a lot to learn and be inspired. The management is solid with Chamath Palihapitiya as CEO. Finances are good. Orders are on the upswing.
