Quick Take

"The concentrated portfolio features large positions in Pacific Gas & Electric, Microsoft, and Amazon, with strong July performance from Alibaba and Danaher."

Executive Summary

Third Point delivered a 2.2% net return in July 2023, bringing year-to-date performance to -0.9%. The fund maintains a concentrated equity portfolio with 69.9% net exposure, led by Pacific Gas & Electric (10.2% of NAV), Microsoft (8.8%), and Amazon (6.7%). The strategy combines fundamental equity investing with activism/constructivism positions and structured credit opportunities. July performance was driven by strong contributions from Alibaba, Danaher, and Nvidia, while Microsoft and Hertz detracted. The portfolio spans multiple sectors including enterprise technology (18.8% net), consumer discretionary (18.1%), and financials (10.5%). Credit investments comprise 39.2% of net exposure, primarily in performing corporate credit and asset-backed securities. The fund employs portfolio hedges representing -11.6% net exposure to manage downside risk. With 42 long equity positions and significant concentration in the top 10 holdings (54% of NAV), Third Point maintains a focused approach across developed markets with emphasis on large-cap opportunities.
