"AGT Partners achieved a remarkable +60.1% return in Class A for 2024, driven heavily by their long-term compounders and a massive turnaround success in Dyna-Mac Holdings. Due to elevated valuations among top-tier compounders, the fund is selectively allocating more to high-conviction turnaround opportunities with a strong margin of safety."
In their 2024 annual letter, AGT Partners reported exceptional performance, with Class A and Class B shares returning +60.1% and +51.5% respectively, significantly outperforming the S&P 500 (+25.0%) and the Hang Seng Index (+22.9%). Since its inception in February 2019, the fund has generated an extraordinary 71.2% CAGR, representing an overall gain of 2,311%. This strong performance was driven across the fund's three core strategies: long-term investments (~75% of AUM, contributing 85% of returns), active trading (15-25% of AUM, contributing <14% of returns), and quantitative factor investing (5% of AUM, contributing <1% of returns). The management team highlighted that many of their preferred 'AAA' high-quality compounders are trading at elevated valuations (such as Apple at 28x, KKR at 35x, and American Express at 25x), which has prompted them to pivot more aggressively towards 'BBB' opportunities—undervalued, unloved, or turnaround businesses. A key success story of this transition was Dyna-Mac Holdings, which delivered a ~100% return and constituted nearly one-third of 2024's total gains before being taken private in November 2024. The fund's managers emphasize alignment of interests, with the three founders keeping over 90% of their net worth invested in the fund alongside zero employee attrition since inception.
