Quick Take

"Then tactically rotated into deep value and commodities as tech valuations expanded. Manager sees AI benefiting IT services companies and structural copper opportunities from electrification."

Executive Summary

White Falcon delivered 6.9% net returns in Q2 2023, bringing YTD performance to 20.04%, significantly outperforming major indices. The portfolio benefited from technology stock gains, particularly Nu Holdings, AMD, and Amazon, while EPAM Systems, Converge, and Aritzia were notable detractors. Manager Balkar Sivia trimmed technology positions as valuations expanded and reallocated capital to deep value, commodity, and special situation equities, raising cash to 5%. The portfolio maintains a balanced approach with 31% in compounders, 42% in value today opportunities, and 14% in value tomorrow positions. Top holdings include precious metals royalties, Nu Holdings, AMD, Amazon, and Teck Resources. Sivia views AI as a positive catalyst for IT services companies and sees structural opportunities in copper due to supply constraints and electrification trends. The manager emphasizes risk management through diversification and quality business selection while maintaining a long-term compounding focus anchored by valuations and margin of safety principles.
