"The Pabrai Wagons Fund is a highly concentrated, deep-value vehicle trading at a P/E of 11x compared to the S&P 500's 30x. It operates on a high-conviction, contrarian playbook focused on heavy buybacks, spinoffs, and assets trading below replacement cost."
The Pabrai Wagons Fund investor presentation outlines the fund's investment philosophy, performance, and current portfolio strategy. Lead Portfolio Manager Mohnish Pabrai highlights that while the S&P 500 is precariously priced at 30x P/E, the Wagons Fund trades at an average P/E of just 11x, with only a 4% asset overlap with the index. After underperforming during its first 17 months due to a market dominated by the Magnificent 7, the fund has turned a corner, outperforming the S&P 500 from March 1, 2025 through November 30, 2025. The fund's portfolio is heavily concentrated in seven key buckets representing 90% of AUM, led by global metallurgical coal businesses (23%), Edelweiss Financial Services in India (19%), and TAV Airports in Turkiye (13%). Key holdings are valued based on asset discounts (fraction of replacement cost), upcoming spinoffs (Edelweiss), and aggressive share buybacks (US homebuilders and car dealerships).
