Quick Take

"Driven by precious metals royalties. The fund maintains quality businesses at reasonable valuations while hedging macro risks through gold exposure."

Executive Summary

White Falcon delivered a 6.0% return in Q3 2024, driven by precious metals royalty companies, bringing YTD returns to 8.5%. The fund maintains its core thesis of investing in quality businesses at reasonable valuations while hedging against macroeconomic risks through gold exposure. Key holdings include precious metals royalties, Endava, Amazon, EPAM, and Converge. The manager believes several positions including Endava, EPAM, Perrigo, and Rentokil are forming bottoms with substantial upside potential. IT services companies have been the main detractors this year but are positioned for recovery as spending improves and AI projects move from planning to execution. The fund sold half its NU Holdings position after strong performance. Gold has been a top performer, up 31.4% YTD, driven by U.S. debt concerns and geopolitical tensions. The manager sees markets as not significantly overvalued despite recent strength, with broadening participation being a positive sign. The portfolio is positioned for long-term compounding through active stock picking with a margin of safety.
