Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"Munro delivered exceptional 2024 returns led by AI infrastructure investments in Nvidia, TSMC, and data center power providers. The firm expects the bull market to continue in 2025 driven by AI productivity gains and Trump policies promoting deregulation and onshoring."

Executive Summary

Munro Partners delivered strong performance in 2024 with the Global Growth Fund returning 39.7%, significantly outperforming benchmarks. The firm positioned heavily in AI infrastructure through semiconductor investments including Nvidia, TSMC, and SK Hynix, which were standout performers. The AI boom intersected with climate investments as data centers drove power demand, benefiting holdings like Constellation Energy which signed a deal with Microsoft to reopen Three Mile Island nuclear plant. The Small & Mid Cap strategy had a stellar first year with strong performance across consumer, digital media, and security themes. Looking ahead, Munro expects the bull market to continue into its third year in 2025, driven by a potential two-fold productivity boom from AI technologies and Trump administration policies focused on deregulation, tax cuts, and onshoring. The firm has positioned across infrastructure spending, defense spending, and continued AI buildout themes. While challenging to repeat 2024 returns, they believe ample room exists for corporate earnings growth and market appreciation as the economy potentially enters a period of rapid productivity-driven change.
