Despite waning market enthusiasm in the AI trade, the managers believe the datacenter capex cycle should continue with revenues and earnings for critical players growing rapidly as they struggle to keep up with increasing demand. The portfolio's emphasis on quality growth investing was challenged by the market's preference for high-beta growth stocks, contributing to underperformance. The managers remain focused on competitive advantages and long-term business fundamentals while constantly re-assessing growth trajectories of portfolio companies competing in evolving global markets. Spotify was added as a new position, with the managers viewing it as a scaled two-sided network enjoying secular growth as streaming and smartphone proliferation become global norms. They believe music is the most under-monetized form of digital entertainment, with Spotify serving over 600 million active users and potential for greater than 20% annual free cash flow growth. Tencent Holdings was initiated as a new position, representing one of China's largest technology companies with leading positions in gaming, social media and payments. Despite economic headwinds, Tencent has remained a consistent growth business, compounding earnings growth at more than 30% annualized over the past 3 years. | SPOT 0700 HK ORCL LLY |
