Quick Take

"Significantly outperforming markets. Manager emphasizes high-quality companies with strong free cash flow growth, learning to hold winners longer after trimming Mader Group too early despite +689% gains."

Executive Summary

Sohra Peak Capital Partners delivered a strong Q2 2023 return of +17.1% net, outperforming the S&P 500's +8.7% gain. The partnership focuses on small and micro-cap equities with high business and management quality, seeking companies that can grow free cash flow per share at high rates for many years. With 12 holdings averaging $425MM market cap and 64.1% invested outside the US, the portfolio has benefited from strong performance of long-term investments made in prior quarters. Manager Jonathan Cukierwar reflects on lessons learned over two years since founding the firm, particularly his tendency to trim winning positions too early and too much. The standout example is Mader Group, purchased at AUD $0.95 in July 2021 and now trading at AUD $7.50, representing a +689% gain. American Coastal Insurance Corporation also shows promise with better-than-expected Q2 results and potential for +100-200% appreciation over 2-3 years. Going forward, the manager intends to hold winners more patiently while maintaining the long-term oriented approach enabled by supportive limited partners.
