Gator Financial Partners' commentary for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Dear Gator Financial Partners:
We are pleased to provide you with Gator Financial Partners, LLC’s (the “Fund” or “GFP”) 2025 3rd quarter investor letter. This letter reviews the Fund’s 2025 Q3, shares our view on recent volatility in regional banks, and shares our investment thesis on First Financial Bancorp (“FFBC”).
Review of 2025 Q3 Performance
During the 3rd quarter of 2025, the Fund had a strong performance. We outperformed both the broader market and the Financials sector benchmark. The Fund’s holdings in small and mid-cap Financials outperformed the largest bank and insurance companies again this quarter.
Our long positions in Anywhere Real Estate, Robinhood Markets, Societe Generale, BNP Paribas, and Carlyle Group were the top contributors to the Fund’s performance. The largest detractors were long positions in SLM Corp, First Citizens, and Sotherly Hotels preferred stock and short positions in Better Home & Finance and Citigroup.
