Hi Partner!

In this new 1h-plus bi-weekly update, we’ve talked about:

  • Earnings reports from Ferrari, Harvia, Topicus, Hg Capital Trust, and Constellation Software

  • Highlighting our recent blogs, with additional color on why we pay attention to leased/right-of-use assets when assessing ROIIC. We’ll share this thought process in the second part of our two-part series on defining sustainable quality compounding.

  • Lastly, we’ve talked about how we approach long-term investing. Buy-and-monitor instead of buy-and-hold-forever. When running a concentrated portfolio, we have to be proactive: businesses change, their returns on incremental invested capital aren’t consistent, their reinvestment runway will grow or shrink as new trends and competitors emerge… Our top 3 positions now account for 67% of total portfolio value. That’s indeed concentrated, but it’s focused on what we believe to be just amazing businesses, and we'll continue to share our journey very transparently.
