"Mohnish Pabrai's Wagons Fund eschews a heavily overvalued S&P 500 in favor of a concentrated, deep-value portfolio trading at a P/E of 9, with major plays in assets priced at a fraction of replacement cost or poised for major corporate spin-offs."
The Pabrai Wagons Fund presentation outlines its distinct, highly concentrated value investment strategy managed by Mohnish Pabrai. Drawing parallels to the 2000 dot-com peak, the manager warns that the S&P 500's current trailing P/E of 28 poses significant risk of flat multi-year returns. Conversely, the Wagons Fund trades at a highly attractive trailing P/E of 9, with only 5% asset overlap with the index. The portfolio's concentration is highlighted by seven core investment buckets making up 94% of the portfolio, led by Edelweiss Financial Services (India) at 25% and TAV Airports (Turkiye) at 16%. Other major areas of investment include metallurgical coal miners, offshore oil service drillers, car dealerships, US homebuilders, and Turkish logistics firms. Many of these core holdings trade at a small fraction of their physical replacement costs or liquidation values and are actively engaging in aggressive share buybacks, setting the stage for long-term compounding.
