Quick Take
"Undergoing a disciplined portfolio overhaul toward high-quality moat compounders, initiating core positions in TSMC, Alphabet, Metlen, and Mexican airport operators while aggressively liquidating cyclical, low-margin legacy holdings."
Executive Summary
Jenga Global Master Fund returned 3.38% net of fees in Q3 2025 compared to a 7.49% return for the MSCI World Index (USD), bringing year-to-date net performance to 18.53% net of fees versus 17.83% for the benchmark. Following substantial underperformance and fund drawdown in 2024, the investment team conducted an intensive process audit. The review diagnosed a historical failure in business quality assessment, caused by over-allocating capital to cyclical, structurally impaired low-margin business models like labour hire and IT consulting at the peak of their economic cycles.
To remediate portfolio fragility, the strategy initiated a structured overhaul anchored by a formalized seven-step investment process. This architecture includes a proprietary industry quality framework, a 60-step due diligence checklist, mandatory 10,000+ word research memos, and a 60-factor risk map. Moving forward, the fund restricts coverage to a maximum of 12 deep dives and 6 industries annually, strictly enforcing a mandate where at least 90% of the portfolio must be invested in businesses possessing durable economic moats and resilient cash flow profiles.
Portfolio execution during the transitional phase divided legacy low-quality positions into immediate liquidations and valuation-sensitive gradual exits. The fund immediately exited InMode and Betterware de Mexico (BeFra) and completed full sales of Ashley Services and Freelance.com, while gradually trimming Kering, Playway, Spyrosoft, and Gofore. Proceeds were redeployed into five high-conviction moat compounders: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Alphabet, Greek industrial leader Metlen, and Mexican airport operators ASUR and OMA.
