Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"Increasingly investing globally as US markets become expensive, with successful additions in Israeli payments monopoly SHVA and athleisure leader Lululemon. Low-turnover approach maintains tax efficiency while hunting for value opportunities worldwide."

Executive Summary

GreensKeeper Value Fund delivered 23.6% net returns in 2024, benefiting from US dollar strength and strong performance from core holdings including American Express (+58%), Alphabet (+35%), and Berkshire Hathaway (+27%). The manager deliberately avoided overpriced AI-related securities, instead focusing on high-quality companies with large margins of safety. As US valuations reached elevated levels, the fund increasingly allocated capital to attractively priced businesses in Canada, France, Israel, Switzerland, and UK. Key additions included Lululemon (+45% in Q4), SHVA (Israeli payment network monopoly), and Hershey. The portfolio maintains low turnover with 8.5-year average holding period and achieved tax efficiency with no year-end distributions. Challenges included Elevance Health (-22%) due to healthcare cost inflation and Hershey (-12%) from cocoa price pressures. The fund finished with 1.5% cash and $33M unrealized gains on $64M equity investments, positioned to capitalize on global opportunities where value exists.
