| 2025 Q4 | Jan 14, 2026 | Wedgewood Partners | -1.8% | 4.3% | AAPL, AMZN, BKNG, CB, CDW, CPRT, EW, GOOGL, META, MSI, ODFL, ORLY, POOL, PYPL, SPGI, TSCO, TSM, UNH, URI, V | AI, growth, large cap, Portfolio Management, Quality, technology, valuation | AI continues to drive significant revenue growth across portfolio companies. Google Cloud processes 1.3 quadrillion AI tokens per month, more than double from just a few quarters ago. Meta has been using AI tools for over a decade to manage their massive network, with their Andromeda machine learning system automatically retrieving and ranking tens of millions of potential ads based on user preferences. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing continues to execute flawlessly on leading-edge node progression and capacity build-out, enabling the AI era by manufacturing nearly every compute accelerator including GPUs. The company's advanced nodes allow accelerator designers greater flexibility to increase performance while limiting power requirements in an increasingly power-constrained compute infrastructure industry. Google Cloud segment revenue and backlog growth accelerated, driven by AI workloads. Amazon's AWS has fostered some of the largest businesses in the world over the past 20 years, with revenue growth accelerating to over 20% as the company deployed almost 4 gigawatts of capacity for AI-workloads over the past 12 months. The manager expresses significant concern about excessive market valuations, noting that more than 30% of US market capitalization now trades above 10x sales, reminiscent of the tech bubble. The crowded AI trade and historically rich valuations are described as haunting prudent investing, with even most non-Magnificent Seven stocks failing to offer bargains. The manager has trafficked in quality stocks for more than 33 years, an approach that has served clients well since 1992 but did not work in 2025.

They argue that much of the business and financial benefit from AI will accrue to already-advantaged users of AI tools rather than providers, particularly businesses with customer intimacy, ecosystem dominance, and proprietary data. AI is viewed as the first technological shift to favor incumbents over new entrants. The manager emphasizes their focus on quality businesses with durable competitive advantages, strong balance sheets, excellent returns on capital, and high profitability. They note that quality has historically outperformed over time, citing the S&P 500 Quality Index's superior long-term returns versus the S&P 500. The current performance disparity between quality and growth reminds them of 1999. The fund converted from mutual fund to ETF structure in October 2025. The manager discusses their unorthodox approach to ETF management, using cash-only create baskets to maintain opportunistic deployment rather than pro-rata approaches. They favor buying stocks at known prices rather than receiving shares in-kind at unknown prices through the ETF creation process. | View | |
