This numerical ballet was no accident of arithmetic but a calculated choreography, blending fresh acquisitions with the ebb and flow of share prices like a chemist balancing equations. The fund’s latest move, however, reads less like a scientific formula and more like a poet’s gamble-betting on a revival in a stock that has plummeted 45% over the past year, a decline so steep it would make a black swan envious.

Yet here we are, witnessing a ballet of profit-taking and portfolio discipline, choreographed by the invisible hand of risk management.
