Quick Take

"Small-cap value manager added to Polish and Australian holdings during market weakness, maintaining conviction despite underperforming US indices. Portfolio benefits from major Australian defense spending commitments and expects Polish consumer normalization."

Executive Summary

Sohra Peak Capital Partners generated a modest 2.2% net return in Q3 2024, underperforming the S&P 500's 5.9% gain. The manager used market weakness to add to core positions in Mader Group, Auto Partner, and Dino Polska at attractive valuations. The portfolio remains concentrated in 15 holdings with 84.5% invested outside the US and an average market cap of $377 million. Polish holdings faced temporary headwinds from minimum wage increases, grocery deflation, and consumer pressure, which the manager views as short-term challenges with strong recovery prospects. Duratec won significant defense contracts totaling $225 million, benefiting from Australia's $12-20 billion commitment to naval maintenance infrastructure. Kitwave continued its UK foodservice consolidation strategy with the acquisition of Creed Catering Supplies. The manager maintains conviction in the portfolio's long-term prospects, expecting intrinsic value growth to drive future returns despite near-term underperformance relative to US large-cap indices.
