"Quercus Fund delivered a stellar 35.8% return in 2024 through its highly concentrated core portfolio, though the manager cautions that fundamental growth trailed share prices. The fund remains highly focused on Bolloré's potential to unlock value via its massive €6 billion cash hoard."
Quercus Fund achieved an exceptional performance of 35.8% in 2024, significantly outperforming ACWI (15.5%) and SPY (23.3%), bringing its annualized return since Dec 2020 to 11.5%. Despite these strong results, the manager advises investors to temper expectations, noting that fundamental operating progress lagged behind the robust stock price increases. The fund remains highly concentrated in its core holdings: Tianjin Development, First Pacific, Sanjiang Chemicals, Halyk Bank, and Compagnie de l'Odet. The letter highlights the completed spin-off of Vivendi into four independent listed entities, noting that while the market has yet to re-rate these assets, Bolloré SE remains exceptionally liquid with over €6 billion in net cash and continues to execute weekly share buybacks.
