"Vision Capital Fund fell -17.3% in Q1 2026 amid broad tech selloff, but manager views SaaS decline as excessive and opportunistic. Added to 10 positions while exiting PayPal."
Executive Summary
Vision Capital Fund posted -17.3% net returns in Q1 2026, underperforming the S&P 500's -4.3% as the technology and SaaS selloff continued. The manager argues this selloff is excessive, driven by indiscriminate AI disruption fears, and believes high-quality mission-critical software will prove resilient through software Darwinism. The fund added to 10 positions during the quarter, including Palantir, Shopify, and Pro Medicus, while exiting PayPal entirely due to operational complexity. The portfolio maintains 27.6% weighted-average revenue growth across 27 holdings, with significant exposure to SaaS, payments, and e-commerce themes. The manager emphasizes their quality-growth strategy focuses on durable compounders riding secular trends, noting that faster-growing companies derive most value from future cash flows, making them more volatile but potentially more rewarding long-term. With lower valuations, the manager sees more attractive forward returns and remains optimistic about long-term business fundamentals, adding personal capital during the quarter.
