Quick Take

"Portfolio concentrated in undervalued precious metals royalties, energy, and infrastructure companies trading at 15-30% discounts to intrinsic value."

Executive Summary

ROCKLINC Partners Fund returned 1.6% in Q2 2024, bringing YTD returns to 8.1% and since-inception annualized returns to 7.5%. The manager maintains a concentrated portfolio of 20-30 companies trading at substantial discounts to intrinsic value, with twelve holdings trading at greater than 15% discounts including Altius Minerals, APi Group, Brookfield Corporation, and MEG Energy. The fund is positioned 23% in cash, 75% in equities, and 2% in private equity, providing flexibility to capitalize on opportunities. Key themes include precious metals royalties benefiting from central bank gold buying and declining US dollar reserve status, energy companies like MEG Energy positioned for Trans Mountain pipeline benefits, and infrastructure businesses recovering from interest rate pressures. The manager expects continued government fiscal irresponsibility and elevated inflation to drive demand for tangible assets while maintaining patience in historically high valuation markets. Portfolio construction emphasizes businesses with strong balance sheets, essential products, and natural currency hedges against fiat currency debasement.
