Quick Take

"Technology, and precious metals. With 33% cash positioning, the fund awaits better entry points while maintaining exposure to hard assets as hedges against currency debasement."

Executive Summary

ROCKLINC Partners Fund returned 0.8% in Q2 2023 and 6.2% year-to-date, compounding at 7.2% annually since inception. The fund maintains a concentrated portfolio of 20-30 quality businesses with 33.1% cash positioning for opportunistic deployment. Core holdings include infrastructure leaders Brookfield Infrastructure Partners and American Tower, technology stalwarts Apple and Amazon, and precious metals royalty companies Franco-Nevada and Wheaton Precious Metals. The manager added positions in Trisura Group and Danaher Corporation while highlighting CoStar Group's dominant position in commercial real estate data. Key risks include unsustainable global debt levels, continued money printing by central banks, and woke ESG policies distorting capital allocation. The outlook anticipates interest rate peaks within three months, benefiting infrastructure and precious metals holdings. The strategy emphasizes patient capital deployment into businesses with strong balance sheets and tangible assets while avoiding highly leveraged financial firms and maintaining exposure to hard assets as currency debasement hedges.
