"Greenhaven Road delivered 30% YTD returns despite Q3 macro headwinds. PAR Technology's exclusive Burger King partnership validates their restaurant technology transformation, adding $25M ARR and opening doors to other Tier 1 customers."
Greenhaven Road Capital returned 3% net in Q3, bringing YTD returns to 30% net. The core thesis centers on owning businesses that get stronger each day, where time favors talented management teams and advantaged businesses. The portfolio's largest position, PAR Technology, achieved a major milestone by securing an exclusive partnership with Burger King North America, adding over 7,000 locations and approximately $25M in annual recurring revenue. This validates PAR's transformation from a struggling POS provider to a comprehensive restaurant technology platform capable of serving Tier 1 customers. Other top holdings include Burford Capital, which won a $6.2B judgment in their YPF litigation case, KKR as a high-quality private equity platform, APi Group's non-discretionary fire safety business, and Cellebrite's mission-critical law enforcement tools. Despite macro headwinds including geopolitical tensions, political uncertainty, and recession fears, the manager remains fully invested, believing the disconnect between business progress and share prices creates attractive opportunities. The fund added downside protection through index puts while maintaining conviction in long-term value creation.

The manager provides specific financial metrics, catalysts, and multi-year outlooks for core positions, demonstrating strong conviction in individual names.
Growth Outlook

The outlook is cautious but not bearish, with emphasis on long-term opportunity despite near-term uncertainty.
Risk Appetite

Capital Deployment

Forward Guidance
The manager expresses optimism about deploying capital and believes seeds are being planted during this difficult period. While acknowledging uncertainty about timing, the guidance suggests selective deployment and patience rather than aggressive risk-taking.

These risks are discussed in detail with concrete examples, indicating meaningful concern about the current environment, though not at crisis levels.
