Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"Led by Nu Holdings which tripled from entry despite reasonable 27x forward earnings for 60% growth. Manager added Nvidia position after missing the AI rally, believing semiconductors are shifting from cyclical to secular demand."

Executive Summary

Infuse Asset Management delivered a strong 31.15% return in Q1 2024, driven primarily by their continued holding in Nu Holdings, which has tripled since initial purchase. Manager Ryan Reeves reflects on missing Nvidia's dramatic AI-driven rally, acknowledging it as his biggest mistake of 2023 when the stock was trading at 8x forward free cash flow. However, he recently initiated a small Nvidia position by trimming Tesla, believing AI is transforming semiconductor demand from cyclical to secular patterns. Nu Holdings remains a core holding, now valued at $54 billion versus their $16 billion entry point, yet still trading at reasonable 27x forward earnings for 60% growth. The Brazilian fintech has become the third largest financial institution in Brazil with 88 million users and is expanding into Mexico and Colombia. The manager emphasizes patience and discipline, focusing on companies that can compound earnings while multiples compress. His strategy centers on finding the fastest-growing, highest-quality businesses at attractive valuations, with a long-term investment horizon that enables superior returns through careful stock selection.
