Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"With portfolio companies showing 15% EBITA growth in 2024. Despite tariff uncertainty, maintaining patient approach by intensifying research on existing high-quality compounders rather than chasing new names."

Executive Summary

The Compounding Tortoise delivered +4.21% returns in Q1 2025 despite market volatility, with FX being a notable drag of 280 basis points. The manager's portfolio of high-quality compounders generated 15.0% EBITA per share growth in 2024, positioning for another solid year in 2025. While acknowledging US tariff uncertainty and potential inflation reacceleration, the manager maintains a business-as-usual approach, having navigated previous volatile periods including supply chain crises and interest rate hikes. Rather than pursuing new investments amid current market noise, they plan to intensify research on existing holdings through conference calls, IR engagement, and earnings analysis. The strategy emphasizes avoiding impulsive trading behavior and maintaining focus on company fundamentals over daily stock movements. The manager plans to publish more in-depth case studies of both successful and failed investments to improve pattern recognition for identifying stellar compounders, always asking what could break each investment thesis.
