Quick Take

"Portfolio of 13 holdings with 74.5% top-5 concentration generated multiple winners including Auto Partner, Mader Group, Duratec, and American Coastal Insurance. Manager emphasizes patience for perfect opportunities over settling for good enough investments."

Executive Summary

Sohra Peak Capital Partners delivered exceptional returns of +82.0% net for 2023, driven by strong appreciation across core holdings including Auto Partner and Mader Group (+90-95% each) and Duratec Limited and American Coastal Insurance Corporation (multiple-fold increases). The manager focuses on finding quality companies with durable, rapidly growing profits at absolute bargain prices, targeting businesses that are either deeply out of favor for wrong reasons or undiscovered by the investing world. The portfolio maintains 13 holdings with 74.5% concentration in top 5 positions and average market cap of $269MM, with 71% invested in non-US companies. The manager emphasizes patience in waiting for the right opportunities, avoiding settling for good enough investments in favor of perfect ones that rank highly on quality, growth, and valuation. Looking forward, the manager expects volatile returns but remains confident in the ability to compound capital at the highest rate responsibly possible while maintaining selectivity in accepting new partners.
