"Generation Investment Management is using short-term market distortions to double down on a more concentrated, historically cheap portfolio of top-quality sustainable compounders, positioned to deliver strong outperformance when the market eventually shifts back to fundamental values."
Executive Summary
Generation Investment Management's Global Equity Quarterly Letter for January 2026 highlights a persistent disconnect between market valuations and business fundamentals in 2025. Despite the portfolio achieving organic revenue growth of nearly 10% and earnings growth double that of the benchmark since 2023, high-quality stocks faced one of their weakest relative performance periods in 15 years. The manager has used this period to narrow the portfolio, exiting Gartner, Twilio, and JLL, while initiating positions in newly added high-quality names like Alphabet, Moody's, and Synopsys. Key holdings MercadoLibre and Adyen are profiled as prime examples of high-moat, disciplined, and customer-centric businesses. Additionally, the manager detail their use of artificial intelligence in their investment process and report strong ESG alignment, with 67% of the portfolio holding validated science-based emission targets.
