1. Executive Briefing (TL;DR)

• The Core Thesis: The combination of aggressive indexation, short-term algorithmic trading, and rapid AI development is creating structural market distortions that significantly benefit patient, long-term capital.

  • Permanence as a Strategy: Executing highly concentrated, activist, or creative corporate transactions requires absolute freedom from capital redemption risks [].
