"Montaka's concentrated portfolio of advantaged businesses within structural transformations delivered strong Q4 results. The fund is positioned for four 2025 cyclical upswings: alternative asset monetizations, enterprise AI deployments, policy tailwinds, and housing recovery."
Montaka delivered strong Q4 2024 performance, capping nearly five years of enhanced investment capabilities focused on advantaged businesses within structural transformations. The fund maintains a concentrated approach with top 10 holdings representing 75% of the portfolio and 25% annual turnover, contrasting sharply with typical mutual fund diversification. Key themes include AI transformation where the marginal cost of intelligence approaches zero, benefiting companies with sustainable advantages like hyperscalers Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet, plus enterprise software leaders Salesforce and ServiceNow. Alternative asset managers Blackstone and KKR are positioned for cyclical monetization upswings in 2025. The manager expects four cyclical tailwinds: alternative asset monetizations, enterprise AI deployments, supportive government policies, and US housing recovery. Recent portfolio activity included exiting three small positions and scaling Alphabet while establishing an outlier position in MongoDB. The impending MFF tie-up will provide permanent capital structure supporting long-duration investments. Despite acknowledging business, market, and inflation risks, Montaka believes current positioning captures multiple golden ages of opportunity.
