Ace River Capital stated the following regarding Vox Royalty Corp. (NASDAQ:VOXR) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:
"Since initiating a position in Vox Royalty Corp. (NASDAQ:VOXR) in Q4 2023, it has grown into the Fund’s largest holding and has returned approximately 160% at the time of writing. Gold prices continue to reach record highs, driven by inflation concerns, geopolitical instability, and inconsistent trade and fiscal policy.
Vox’s royalty-based business model provides leveraged exposure to these trends while avoiding the capital intensity and operational risks faced by traditional mining companies.
The company continues to add producing royalties, expand cash flow, and maintain a clean balance sheet. I view Vox as both a long-term compounder and a natural hedge against macro uncertainty. No change in thesis."
