Quick Take

"Added UK food distributor Kitwave Group at attractive 13.5x earnings with 22% historical EPS growth. Manager maintains long-term focus and high conviction in concentrated portfolio approach despite short-term volatility."

Executive Summary

Sohra Peak Capital Partners recorded a -1.3% net loss in Q1 2024 versus S&P 500's +10.6% gain, primarily due to a -25% decline in top holding Duratec following disappointing order book figures. Manager views the sell-off as excessive and disconnected from fundamentals, noting strong tender activity and MSA revenue growth. The partnership initiated a new position in UK food distributor Kitwave Group, which serves 42,000 retail locations and has delivered 22% EPS growth over seven years. Trading at 13.5x earnings, Kitwave offers structural competitive advantages through scale-based supplier bargaining power and operates in a recession-proof industry. The manager emphasizes maintaining long-term perspective despite short-term underperformance, focusing on identifying promising investment prospects while accepting that outcomes unfold over time. With significant manager co-investment and selective partner acceptance, the partnership targets superior long-term returns through concentrated positions in undervalued companies with sustainable competitive advantages.
