Michigan-based investment advisor Cedar Grove Capital Management recently released its first quarter 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. Cedar Grove Capital Management’s Multi-Strategy Composite posted a -23.0% net return since inception, compared to -5.6% for the Russell 2000, -5.9% for the Russell Microcap, and -5.5% for the S&P 500. Timing is key for early fund success, yet predicting external shocks during volatile macroeconomic periods is impossible. Rather than speculate on macro risks, it’s advisable to invest in strong companies at reasonable prices with good growth prospects. The recent downturn, called a “SaaS apocalypse,” was an opportunity to buy quality stocks that were undervalued despite better fundamentals and potential AI-driven gains. In February and early March, nearly all portfolio holdings reported strong earnings. However, the outbreak of war in Iran quickly overshadowed these gains, causing a rapid market selloff. While macro factors hurt performance in Q1, the firm is confident that its companies will do well in Q2 and beyond.

Cedar Grove Capital Management stated the following regarding OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited (NASDAQ:OSW) in its Q1 2026 investor letter:
“OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited (NASDAQ:OSW) is one of the very few names that we revisit from time to time as more of a trade than an investment for us. OSW is a spa operator that largely operates its business on various cruise lines (Carnival Cruise, Norwegian, etc). The reason we trade this name from time to time is that it still consistently gets misunderstood by the market in times of turmoil that mainly affect cruise lines directly, rather than OSW — think rising oil prices or a reduction in consumer discretionary spending. While we haven’t shared any deep dive into the company specifically, last year we did share our high-level thoughts here on why the dislocation regularly occurs.”
