Quick Take

"Maintaining fully invested portfolio targeting sustainable compounders with >20% incremental returns on invested capital. Portfolio companies grew EBITA per share +14.8% through operational excellence rather than financial engineering."

Executive Summary

The Compounding Tortoise delivered +5.64% in Q2 and +10.08% year-to-date despite FX headwinds of 504 basis points. The manager maintains a fully invested portfolio focused on sustainable quality compounding, emphasizing companies with high returns on incremental invested capital exceeding 20-25%. Portfolio companies achieved +14.8% growth in EBITA per share driven by high incremental returns rather than financial engineering. The strategy centers on identifying businesses with strong free cash flow generation, rational capital allocation, and management teams that understand the ROIIC framework. Key risks include tariff uncertainty, FX volatility, and potential distortions from acquisition mix versus organic growth. The manager published detailed analysis on Diploma's M&A strategy and continues developing case studies on quality compounders. With portfolio characteristics remaining attractive for double-digit compounding, the focus stays on long-term value creation through companies that can sustain high incremental returns on invested capital while maintaining operational excellence.
