"City Different Investments' Multi-Cap Core strategy outperformed the S&P 500 in Q4 with a 5.79% net return, while maintaining a low-turnover, focused portfolio of 26 stocks with strong convictions in under-allocated small and mid-cap valuations."
In the 4Q 2024 investor letter, Portfolio Manager Rob MacDonald outlines the philosophy of active management, comparing it to school report cards where achieving the final 10% is where the actual value lies. This rationale justifies running a focused portfolio where managers can bet big on high-conviction ideas. For the quarter, the Multi-Cap Core strategy returned 5.79% (Net), outperforming the S&P 500's 2.41% and its Style Benchmark's 2.74%. For the full year, the strategy delivered 23.96%, trailing the S&P 500 slightly (25.02%). The letter notes that approximately 1/3 of the portfolio is in companies with <$10B market caps, contrasting with less than 1% of the S&P 500, which has hindered relative performance over longer periods due to the massive outperformance of mega-caps. Top contributors for the quarter included Netflix and Alphabet, while top detractors included Thermo Fisher Scientific and Target. No new stocks were purchased or sold during the quarter, ending with 26 long-term holdings.
