"Nightview Capital maintains concentrated exposure to Tesla as their largest position, viewing the company's Dojo AI supercomputer as potentially transformative with licensing potential similar to Amazon Web Services."

Executive Summary

Nightview Capital delivered positive performance in the first half of 2023, with Tesla as their largest position achieving another record-breaking quarter while advancing artificial intelligence capabilities through their Dojo supercomputer project. The firm views Tesla's AI ambitions as potentially transformative, comparing Dojo's licensing potential to Amazon Web Services. While inflation appears to be moderating and the Federal Reserve may pause rate hikes, the manager acknowledges ongoing macro uncertainty. The portfolio has been expanded with new positions acquired at discounted prices during the bear market, including Hertz as a small position benefiting from post-bankruptcy transformation. The firm avoids speculative electric vehicle companies facing execution risks, preferring Tesla's proven profitability and scale. Their concentrated approach focuses on compound business growth over extended periods, maintaining conviction that this decade offers tremendous opportunities for patient investors. The manager expects the current setup to be one of the best for growth in years, positioning to compound capital while staying focused on their best ideas.
