Quick Take

"Springview's concentrated portfolio underperformed in Q2 despite strong underlying fundamentals, with insurance holdings pressured by cycle concerns. R."

Executive Summary

Springview Capital returned -3.2% net in Q2 2024 versus +4.3% for the S&P 500, bringing YTD returns to +7.7% versus +15.3% for the benchmark. The concentrated portfolio experienced significant volatility with nearly all major positions declining in Q2 after strong Q1 performance. Top holdings W.R. Berkley fell 10.5% and CRH dropped 13% despite reporting strong fundamental results including 37% EPS growth for Berkley and 16% EPS growth for CRH. The manager attributes underperformance to bearish sentiment on the property/casualty insurance cycle and maintains conviction in holdings based on strong underlying business fundamentals. Portfolio positioning remained largely unchanged with seven of top ten positions constant between quarters, reflecting the firm's patient, long-term philosophy. The fund maintains 115.5% gross long exposure and 13.7% gross short exposure. Management remains confident in prospects for remainder of 2024, expecting stock prices to eventually trace earnings and book value growth.
