Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"Pabrai Wagons ETF delivered +12.12% YTD through Q2 2026, maintaining zero S&P 500 overlap through concentrated positions in unloved global markets. The fund circles the wagons around six core buckets: offshore drilling, met coal, Indian financials, vertical software compounders, and Turkish infrastructure."
Executive Summary
The Pabrai Wagons ETF returned -1.79% in Q2 2026 versus +15.20% for the S&P 500, bringing YTD returns to +12.12% versus +10.21% for the index. The fund maintains a concentrated portfolio with zero S&P 500 overlap, positioning itself as the 'Un-S&P 500' by investing in mispriced, unloved corners of global markets. The top six portfolio buckets representing 79% of assets include: offshore oil services (19%), Indian financial services (14%), Mark Leonard software complex (14%), metallurgical coal (14%), Turkish logistics/real estate (9%), and Turkish airports (9%). Key positions include Transocean, Warrior Met Coal, Edelweiss Financial Services, TAV Airports, and Constellation Software spin-offs. The manager believes offshore drillships trade at significant discounts to replacement value with no new supply, met coal businesses have irreplaceable reserves despite investor hatred, and the AI-driven software selloff created opportunities in quality compounders. The fund follows Berkshire Hathaway's philosophy that exceptional performance comes from a dozen truly good decisions held for very long periods, not frequent trading.
