Executive Summary

Vision Capital Fund focuses on investing in high-quality business compounders that demonstrate robust business momentum, secular tailwinds, and strong competitive advantages over multi-year horizons. For the third quarter of 2026, the fund generated a net return of +14.4% net of fees, outperforming the S&P 500 benchmark return of +2.3%. Since inception on October 1, 2024, the fund has generated an annualized net return of +10.2% net of fees. During the quarter, the manager completely exited its position in The Trade Desk following structural growth deceleration and competitive pressures from closed-loop advertising ecosystems. In contrast, new starter positions were initiated in Alphabet and Datadog, reflecting high conviction in cloud observability and full-stack artificial intelligence computing infrastructure. Overall portfolio positioning remains heavily oriented toward software, e-commerce, and advanced semiconductors, maintaining low portfolio turnover and high average free cash flow margins while carefully avoiding deteriorating value traps.
