"The fund maintains a concentrated, low-turnover portfolio of fourteen European-tilted compounders generating seventeen percent return on invested capital. A major new position in Dassault Aviation capitalizes on six years of defense revenue visibility, sovereign pricing power, and an undervalued stub equity valuation alongside its stake in Thales."
The Primary Research Fund executes a highly concentrated, long-term investment strategy focused on acquiring high-quality businesses with formidable barriers to entry at undemanding valuations. Portfolio holdings are selected with a five-year investment horizon, targeting companies capable of roughly doubling intrinsic value primarily through free cash flow compounding and high returns on invested capital rather than multiple expansion. The portfolio encompasses fourteen companies across infrastructure, business services, aerospace, hardware technology, and engineering, with eighty percent of invested capital deployed in European equities and weighted net leverage maintained at a conservative 1.4x EBITDA. Portfolio companies generate an average return on invested capital of seventeen percent, with organic revenue growing around six percent and expected forward earnings expansion of twelve percent. The manager initiated a new position in French aerospace manufacturer Dassault Aviation, emphasizing its six-year contracted order book, unique geopolitical independence from United States export restrictions, and significant discount to peer multiples when factoring in its equity stake in Thales. Key macroeconomic risks center on geopolitical volatility, government budget scrutiny, and defense export regulation.
