SVN Capital Fund returned -5.65% net in 2025, a year where business results moved in the right direction while stock prices moved the other way in several of the largest holdings. The portfolio remains concentrated in 11 businesses that fit the royalty on the growth of others pattern - capital-intensive to build correctly, increasingly capital-light at the margin, and supported by long reinvestment runways at attractive incremental returns. Companies such as KKR, HEICO, Hermès, Bajaj Finance, Copart, and others continue to meet core criteria despite price weakness. Key themes include India's long-term compounding opportunity with roughly one-fifth of the portfolio invested there, AI adoption across portfolio companies, and the structural shift of alternative assets from margins to mainstream. Portfolio activity included exiting two positions and initiating three new ones. Return on capital employed across the portfolio was roughly 27% in 2025 compared to 21% three years ago, while valuations are more attractive today than a year ago, improving prospective returns for patient capital.
SVN Capital focuses on owning a royalty on the growth of others - businesses that get paid when their customers grow, without having to match them dollar for dollar to stay in the game, requiring little capital themselves while generating high incremental returns with room to reinvest.
If I were handed fresh capital today, with no history attached, and asked to build a portfolio for the next decade, it would look very much like the one we already own today. Valuations are more attractive today than a year ago, with return on capital employed across the portfolio in 2025 roughly 27%, compared to 21% three years ago.

| TICKER | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|
| 532978.NS | Bajaj Finance was one of the few holdings that worked in 2025. In rupee terms, the share price rose roughly 45% in 2025. Earlier this year, I travelled to Pune for the company's investor day. It reinforced my view of Bajaj as the highest-quality lender in an under-penetrated and rapidly formalizing credit market. It combines a long runway for growth with a culture that is obsessed with risk, underwriting, and operating discipline—a rare mix in financial services. More interesting is how deliberately the company is remaking itself as "FinAI"—a financial services platform built around deep technology and artificial intelligence rather than a traditional branch-and-paper mindset. Management walked through concrete AI initiatives at the investor day, from conversational bots that already handle a meaningful share of loan disbursals and service interactions, to vision and content systems that automate document checks and marketing, to an internal "AI pod" structure that embeds data science across product lines. The goal is a structurally lower cost-to-serve, sharper risk discrimination, and the ability to cross-sell more products to each customer. Looking out over the next several years, the company expects to more than double its customer franchise, from just over 100 million customers today, to 200–220 million by 2030, while increasing its share of India's overall "system credit" (the total stock of loans in the economy) and retail credit from today's still-modest single-digit levels. If Bajaj can execute on that plan while maintaining its conservative credit standards, FinAI could become a royalty on the growth of Indian consumption and small-business formation. Given the quality of the franchise, the depth of the technology and data stack, and the long runway for profitable reinvestment, I added to the position this year and continue to view Bajaj Finance as one of the core long-term compounders in the portfolio. The caveat is an obvious one—none of this matters if credit standards slip. So, I watch the boring things: delinquencies, underwriting discipline, and whether growth is being bought rather than earned. Thus far, Bajaj has prioritized durability and discipline over maximizing short-term growth. |
| 533655.NS | Triveni Turbine tested my patience this year. It is India's leading manufacturer of industrial steam turbines for captive power and co-generation across process industries such as sugar, paper, textiles, chemicals, cement, and steel. It dominates the sub-100 MW segment (2nd biggest in the world in this category), with thousands of turbines installed in more than 50 countries and a growing, high-margin aftermarket business in service and spares. The manufacturing base is in Bengaluru, with corporate headquarters near New Delhi. Earlier this year, I visited the headquarters, which confirmed my view of Triveni as a technically deep, execution-focused manufacturer with a long runway. The share price reversed course in 2025. Triveni gave back a meaningful portion of its earlier gains and ended the year lower, caught in a broader de-rating of Indian mid- and small-cap industrials and rising investor caution toward export-oriented engineering businesses. The issue was timing, not demand. Several finished export orders could not be recognized as revenue because customers were unable to travel to India to witness testing and formally accept delivery. Management attributed the delays to regional geopolitical disruptions earlier in the year. The turbines were built, tested, and ready to ship. Those sales moved to later periods; they were not lost. The order book continued to grow. Triveni ends the year with a record order book, very high returns on capital, and a debt-free, cash-rich balance sheet, with exports representing an increasing share of revenue. Tariff noise between the U.S. and India has complicated the near-term outlook for exporters, but the company's competitive standing remains intact. For an asset-light manufacturer with a defensible position in small and mid-sized turbines, 2025 reads as a pause within a longer arc of compounding value. |
| HEI | HEI is a U.S. aerospace and electronics company that operates in the unglamorous world of replacement parts and mission-critical components. Through its Flight Support Group and Electronic Technologies Group, it supplies FAA-approved Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) replacement parts for aircraft components and a range of specialized electronics used in defense, space, medical, telecom, and other demanding applications. In particular, it is the world's largest independent supplier of these PMA parts, typically offering airlines 20–50% cost savings versus OEM spares while matching certified performance. HEICO gets paid whenever aircraft are maintained, overhauled, or upgraded, and whenever customers need highly reliable electronics in harsh environments. That position was reflected in the stock: shares rose roughly 17% in 2023, 33% in 2024, and were up about 36% in 2025. Operationally, 2025 was another record year. Net sales, operating income, and earnings all reached new highs, with double-digit growth in both major segments driven by strong organic demand in commercial aviation, defense, and space, augmented by a steady stream of bolt-on acquisitions. Cash generation remains excellent, and even after significant M&A spending, net debt sits at comfortably low levels relative to EBITDA, leaving ample capacity for future deals. The way this compounding machine was built matters. Over more than three decades, Laurans Mendelson (recently deceased) and his team turned a small aviation-parts business into a global aerospace and defense supplier, growing it steadily and without drama. Over time, that history produced a culture of family ownership, disciplined capital allocation, and conservative balance-sheet management. The leadership transition (to Eric and Victor Mendelson as co-CEOs) in 2025 followed a well-telegraphed plan, with continuity in strategy and culture. That combination is why HEICO remains one of the portfolio's most reliable compounders, doing its job year after year. The way this story goes wrong is also simple: acquisition discipline slips, culture gets diluted, or the core organic engines stall. HEICO has earned the benefit of the doubt by avoiding those mistakes for a long time. I watch for them regardless. Long-duration compounders fail when discipline gives way to impatience. |
| KKR | Over the prior two years, KKR was one of the Fund's strongest contributors. From the end of 2022 through the end of 2024, the shares more than tripled, rising roughly 80% in 2023 and another 80% in 2024, as the market began to recognize the earnings power of its asset-management and insurance platforms. KKR is a global alternative investment firm with three reinforcing engines: asset management, insurance, and strategic holdings. Through its funds and capital-markets platform, it invests in private equity, credit, infrastructure, real assets, and growth equity around the world, and it manages a large insurance balance sheet through Global Atlantic which provides a long-duration, recurring stream of investment float. In effect, KKR earns a "royalty" on the continued migration of assets from public markets and banks into private markets. This year, the stock told a different story: in 2025 it was down about 13% and was roughly 23% below its January peak. Over the last four quarters, the business has materially outperformed the share price. The underlying earnings engine has continued to grow, even as market sentiment has turned more cautious. Strip away the stock-price swings, and the business itself has continued to grow. Fee-related earnings, insurance earnings, and long-dated capital have all moved higher, even as market sentiment toward rates, credit, and capital flows into alternatives has become more cautious. The long-term case for KKR rests on the structural forces behind those numbers. The alternative-asset industry is still in the early stages of moving from the margins into the mainstream, both for institutions and particularly for private-wealth clients, and KKR's three-engine model is designed for that world. At their 2024 investor day, the management summarized their ambition in simple terms: build a business that can "double and then double again," taking adjusted net income per share from $3.42 in 2023 to more than $15 within roughly 10 years, with the majority of those earnings coming from recurring operating sources. Whether or not that precise figure is reached matters less than the direction of travel—a business increasingly driven by recurring operating earnings. Interim volatility is the price paid for owning what I view as a long-duration royalty on the growth of alternative assets worldwide. Concerns around private credit are cyclical and familiar. Credit cycles are part of the job; permanent impairment comes from leverage, liquidity mismatches, or incentives that encourage growth at any cost. My focus is simple: keep watching the durability of fee-related earnings, fundraising momentum, realized performance, and balance-sheet conservatism across the platform. As long as those remain intact, market anxiety does little to alter the underlying investment case. |
| KNSL | Kinsale Capital Group operates in a large and steadily expanding corner of the U.S. insurance market. The excess and surplus (E&S) segment has grown steadily for years, and AM Best now estimates that direct premiums written are approaching $130 billion, accounting for more than a quarter of all U.S. commercial-lines premium. Within that market, Kinsale has built a focused underwriting business designed for speed, discipline, and cost efficiency. Founded in 2009, the company built its own integrated technology platform from the ground up, allowing underwriters to respond quickly, capture data cleanly, and operate with a structurally lower expense base. Over the past several years, its expense ratio has consistently been in the low-20s, among the best in specialty property-and-casualty (P&C) insurance. Strong operating performance has not translated into a smooth stock chart. From its early-2024 peak, shares are down roughly 25%, including a decline of about 16% during 2025. When competition intensified and pricing became less generous, Kinsale chose selectivity over volume. Premium growth slowed by design. The conditions that built the franchise are still present. In insurance, the easiest way to look good for a quarter is to write business you shouldn't. The bill always arrives later. Kinsale, much smaller and far younger, has reported an underwriting profit every year since its founding, with an average combined ratio in the low-80s and recent results in the mid-70s. Its roughly $3 billion of float today (mostly unpaid losses and unearned premiums) has so far come not just "free," but accompanied by substantial underwriting profit. That is commandment #3 in action: Kinsale will gladly write less business if that is what it takes to ensure that every dollar of float arrives at a low, or negative, cost. Kinsale has worked hard to make sure no single event comes close to threatening the franchise, using reinsurance, limits, and portfolio construction so that catastrophe and large-loss exposures are bounded. With a book of business where net written premiums are roughly equal to statutory capital and surplus, a single large catastrophe is sized as a mid–single-digit percentage of capital, and individual casualty claims are a tiny fraction of 1%. The goal isn't to avoid losses; it's to avoid the kind that change the company's destiny. Finally, Kinsale has deliberately confined itself to a focused set of E&S commercial lines where its underwriters believe they have an informational edge: small and mid-sized (the average premium per policy is $15,000) often hard-to-place risks written through wholesale brokers. It does not try to be all things to all buyers, it avoids heavily commoditized personal lines, and it keeps underwriting authority in-house rather than delegating the pen to managing general agents (MGAs) or brokers. That narrow circle of competence is what has allowed Kinsale to grow much faster than the overall E&S market while maintaining better-than-sector loss ratios. The proprietary technology platform mentioned earlier is an important part of this: it allows underwriters to handle a high volume of small, complex submissions quickly and consistently, which in turn supports both Kinsale's cost advantage and its ability to stay disciplined on risk selection. As mentioned earlier, net written premiums are running at roughly one times statutory capital and surplus, a conservative level for a fast-growing E&S carrier, so the balance sheet is not being stretched to chase growth. Financial leverage is modest, the investment portfolio is liquid and high quality, and operating cash flow has been ample. On top of that, given what management and the board view as an attractive valuation, they recently authorized a new $250 million share repurchase program. For a long-term owner, that combination of disciplined underwriting, growing (low-cost) float, conservative premium leverage, a durable technology-enabled cost advantage, and rational capital allocation is exactly why Kinsale remains a core, long-duration holding in the portfolio, even if the stock price occasionally tells a more dramatic story than the underlying business. Kinsale's results suggest a company that has, so far, resisted that temptation, and passed all four disciplines. The risk worth respecting here is the only risk that ever really matters in insurance—behavior. If Kinsale ever starts chasing volume at inadequate prices, relaxing underwriting to keep growth optics intact, or letting catastrophe exposure creep beyond what the balance sheet can comfortably absorb, then the thesis changes. Short-term premium growth will always wobble; underwriting discipline is nonnegotiable. |
