"White Falcon posted -6.1% in Q1 amid software sector volatility but used the drawdown to meaningfully increase allocation to essential software companies incorporating AI. Key positions include Oracle transforming into a cloud AI business and Unity Software benefiting from AI-driven game creation acceleration."
Executive Summary
White Falcon posted a -6.1% return in Q1 2026 versus -3.1% for the S&P 500, driven by software sector multiple contraction amid AI-related risks and company-specific setbacks at Ag Growth and Ivanhoe Mines. However, strong performance from New Flyer Industries and precious metals holdings provided partial offset. The manager views the software sector as either a fantastic long-term opportunity or potential value trap, believing it to be the former and meaningfully increasing allocation. The investment framework focuses on essential software companies with multiple competitive moats that are incorporating AI, exemplified by new positions in Oracle and Unity Software. Oracle is transforming into a vertically integrated cloud provider leveraging its database moat to attract AI workloads, while Unity benefits from AI accelerating game creation. The Iran war created market volatility but the manager used this to improve portfolio quality and deploy cash at attractive valuations. Top 5 positions include precious metals royalty companies, NFI, Nu Holdings, Unity Software and Amazon. The manager remains optimistic about portfolio prospects.
