Dear co-investor,

First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the best for the new year. We concluded 2023 with two reasons for celebration. On the one hand, our investment funds closed the year at record highs. This means that, in the more than eleven years that Alejandro, Miguel and I have been part of the portfolio management team, we have delivered cumulative returns of 254% in the international strategy (11.5% annualized) and 203% in the Iberian strategy (10.3%), outperforming their benchmark indexes in both cases.On the other hand, the Horos family of products continues to grow, with the launch of Horos Internacional Empleo PPE and, foreseeably in a short period of time, Horos Internacional Autónomos PPES, two pensions plans that will provide a long-term savings solution for employees and self-employed workers, respectively, replicating our successful international strategy.

Taking a shorter-term view, in 2023 our funds were up 14.3% for Horos Value Internacional (versus 18.1% of its benchmark) and 15.7% for Horos Value Iberia (versus 24.5%). Undoubtedly, as we will see throughout this document, this has been a very atypical year, in which various factors (some of them unsustainable) have dramatically pushed global financial assets higher. For our part, we continue to invest true to our philosophy, always trying to find and exploit those inefficiencies that arise in the market in the most advantageous way possible, in order to meet our goal of generating sustainable and satisfactory returns over the long term.

Thank you for your confidence.

Yours sincerely,

Dear co-investor,

This quarter, the management team formed by Alejandro, Miguel and myself is celebrating eleven years working in the complex and fascinating world of investing. A period in which we have remained faithful to the same investment principles and in which we have always managed two strategies: international and Iberian equities. In these eleven years we have delivered cumulative returns of 236% in the international strategy (11.3% annualized) and 185% in the Iberian strategy (10.0%), outperforming their benchmark indices in both cases. These returns are very satisfactory and we will undoubtedly work to maintain this positive trend in the coming years. Of course, the current high upside potential of our funds leads us to believe that we can achieve this.

Taking a shorter-term view, our funds are up 8.7% in 2023 for Horos Value Internacional (versus 10.9% of its benchmark index) and 9.0% for Horos Value Iberia (versus 16.2%). However, these returns do not reflect a number of very important anomalies that are occurring and which make us cautious about the market and, paradoxically, optimistic about our portfolios for the future. I will devote this quarterly letter to explaining this and the main movements of our funds.

Thank you for your confidence.

Yours sincerely,

Dear co-investor,

These are good times for Horos because, at this moment, almost all of our more than 3,000 clients have positive returns with their investments in our funds and pension plan. A milestone that shows that our investment process continues to bear fruit, as is also reflected in the 236% and 185% total returns that this management team has delivered since 2012, or in annualized terms, 11.5% in the international strategy and 10.2% in the Iberian strategy, outperforming their benchmark indexes in both cases. However, our satisfaction is even greater given that the upside potential of our portfolios remain at historically very high levels. In other words, if our analysis has been correct, the returns we can expect as investors in our vehicles in the coming years will also be very attractive.

The year 2023 is being characterized by a generalized rise in global equity markets. In this favorable environment, our funds have also performed well, up 8.5% in the case of Horos Value Internacional (versus 11.5% of its benchmark index) and 8.9% for Horos Value Iberia (versus 15.8%) in the first six months of the year. However, these gains in 2023 are particularly strong for the NASDAQ-100 technology index, with a return of around 45% and, more worryingly, driven by a very significant multiple expansion. We believe that these higher valuations are being caused, to a large extent, by the expectations that the investment community has placed on the future deployment of artificial intelligence. We will therefore devote this letter to explaining what is happening and what risks we see ahead for the sector and this market

Thank you for your confidence.

Yours sincerely,

Dear co-investor,

New year, new turmoil? The major stock markets of the world ended the first quarter of the year with solid gains, but overshadowed by a banking crisis not seen since 2008. Against this volatile backdrop, our Horos Value Internacional fund gained 6.0% in the first three months of the year, compared to a 5.4% rise in its benchmark index. Horos Value Iberia was up 6.1% over the period, compared to a 10.8% rise of its benchmark.

As usual, I would like to take this opportunity to update our longer-term performance. Since the inception of Horos (May 21, 2018), Horos Value Internacional has returned 34.0%, underperforming the 47.1% gain of its benchmark index, while Horos Value Iberia has returned 10.9%, slightly below the 13.4% return of its index. Moreover, since 2012, the returns achieved by this management team stand at 228% for the international strategy and 177% for the Iberian strategy, compared to 203% and 90% in their benchmark indices, respectively.

Despite these year-to-date gains, a turbulent March saw the abrupt fall of several U.S. banks, such as Silicon Valley Bank, and the most notable collapse of Credit Suisse in Europe. Are the central banks’ rate hikes the cause of this banking crisis? Are the cases of U.S. regional banks so different from what happened with Credit Suisse? Are there other underlying structural problems that explain these recurring crises in the sector? We will devote most of this first quarterly letter of 2023 to try to answer these questions and explain our approach to the financial sector.

Thank you for your confidence.

Yours sincerely,
