Quick Take
"Wolf of Harcourt Street outperformed the S&P 500 by 570 basis points in Q1, delivering positive returns during market volatility. The manager added to ASML and Meta positions during corrections, while Sea Limited led performance with 23% gains."
Executive Summary
Wolf of Harcourt Street delivered a +1.2% return in Q1 2025 versus the S&P 500's -4.6% decline, demonstrating portfolio resilience during volatile market conditions. The manager added to positions in ASML and Meta during market weakness, viewing the corrections as compelling opportunities. ASML benefits from TSMC's $100 billion U.S. manufacturing investment while maintaining its lithography monopoly despite unproven Chinese competition. Meta trades at reasonable 22x forward earnings and shows tangible AI benefits. Sea Limited emerged as the top performer, up 23% year-to-date, with all business segments now profitable and immune to tariff concerns. Nubank faced headwinds from Brazilian currency weakness and credit concerns but appears oversold at 18x forward earnings. The portfolio's technology and semiconductor focus, combined with selective Latin American exposure, has proven more defensive than broader markets. The manager maintains conviction in consistent strategy execution, having opened only one new position year-to-date while taking advantage of volatility to add to existing high-conviction holdings.
