Viking Spins

How are the recent Viking spins doing? (Voyager and Avala) It feels like Voyager never really hired many people and churned over their first COO. Know its not tied to Viking, but how is SurgoCap doing as well - seems like there's some turnover there too.

Some churn here and there, some getting big $ to join pods, others bouncing around other SMs.

Mala is a great CIO I'm a fan of Surgo.  Anomaly pretty good things to say, but they've also seen some departures...can interpret yourself.  D1 I've never been more surprised by how little work a fund of that scale does; avoid avoid avoid avoid avoid.  Junto good.  Alua never interacted with.  There are a few slated for 1H25, so we shall see

 

Why do you say that about Mala? I’ve heard returns have been decent but I cant square it with the fact that I thought she was pretty removed from the investment process especially since it seems she’s building a multi sector book in healthcare / industrials / financials instead of just tmt which is her background. I’m not close so possibly what I’m saying is completely wrong

What's the problem with their research? Do they not cover a company deeply enough? 

 

Kind of surprised because I have chatted with healthcare people there and didn't seem all that special. Not that they aren't sharp by any means, just seemed fairly vanilla if that makes sense... Been a tough time with the GEHC and UNH trades. 

CRS on the other hand has been a great money maker, if not a consensus HF long at this point
