"Torre Financial generated a 19.3% return in 2024, lagging the S&P 500's 24.9% gain. To mitigate volatility and valuation risks going into 2025, the fund rotated away from high-multiple software names into more resilient healthcare and capital-efficient compounders."
Executive Summary
In the 2024 Q4 Letter, Federico Torre reports that Torre Financial's consolidated accounts gained 19.3% for the year, underperforming the S&P 500 (SPY), which rose 24.9%. Despite underperforming, the manager expresses satisfaction with the nearly 20% gain, which follows a 51% gain in 2023. Key positive performers for the year included Meta (+66%), ServiceNow (+50%), and Amazon (+44%), while Adobe (-25%) was the main detractor. During 2024, the fund strategically reduced its exposure to high-growth software positions due to elevated valuation and volatility risks, while adding to stable healthcare compounders. The letter highlights that the fund's portfolio offers superior margins, less leverage, and a more attractive Free Cash Flow (FCF) yield (3.9% vs. 2.7% for the S&P 500), positioning it well for resilience against future market volatility.
