Executive Summary
The Antero Peak Strategy delivered strong performance in 2024, returning 31.39% net versus 25.02% for the S&P 500, driven by balanced contributions across multiple sectors including standout performers TSM, GE, TDG, CEG, SPOT, ISRG and PGR. The strategy was underweight the Magnificent Seven stocks which outperformed the remaining 493 companies by 30%. The manager sees exciting alpha opportunities ahead as earnings growth is expected to accelerate to 12% in 2025 from just 2% in 2024, while most companies outside the M7 continue cutting estimates. The portfolio is positioned across seven key themes including aerospace normalization, data monetization, de-globalization, digitization of user experience, medical innovations, network infrastructure modernization, and enterprise transformation. Based on 2025 estimates, the strategy is expected to be 43% more profitable than the S&P 500 with nearly double the return on invested capital, positioning it to generate substantially more relative value through higher quality assets and stronger earnings revision potential.
