EDITORIAL BRIEF · refreshed Jul 2, 2026

Why follow Varde Management, L.P. right now?

Varde Management's Q1 2026 13F-HR discloses a $49M equity book across just four positions, with roughly 80% concentrated in two names. Ziff Davis (ZD) commands 45.4% at 534,028 shares; EchoStar (SATS) holds 35.0% at 147,400 shares. Surgery Partners (SGRY) accounts for 18.3% via 755,438 shares, while ZipRecruiter (ZIP) represents a marginal 1.3% across 347,527 shares — a large share count at low dollar weight, indicating a depressed valuation.

Reported quarterly returns of +73.5% against SPY's +14.5% in Q1 2026 produced alpha of +59.0 percentage points, extending a four-quarter run of positive alpha. The portfolio's narrow construction amplifies both upside and drawdown risk relative to diversified benchmarks. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
