Letter to our co-investors 1Q22

Thumbnail

Dear co-investor,

The new year began with three major sources of uncertainty that will condition the rest of this year’s market performance: the economic situation in China, the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the measures taken by central banks to curb current high inflation rates. Against this challenging backdrop, our Horos Value Internacional fund returned 1.4% over the quarter, compared to -3.3% in its benchmark index. Horos Value Iberia, on the other hand, was down by 1.9% over the period, in contrast to a 0.5% gain 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 22.3%, below the 55.2% gain of its benchmark, while Horos Value Iberia has returned 8.1%, outperforming the 0.5% return of its index. Moreover, since 2012, the returns of this management team stand at 199% for the international strategy and 167% for the Iberian strategy, compared to 219% and 67% in their benchmark indices, respectively.

We will devote this letter to dealing with these three major sources of current uncertainty and, as always, to discussing the most significant changes in our portfolios.

2024 Letters to co-investors

Letter to our co-investors 2Q24

Dear co-investor, After wrapping up the second quarter of 2024, we can highlight few new developments in financial markets. The reality is that the euphoric dynamics in the technology sector persist, to a greater or lesser extent, pushing the U.S. stock market to new highs and helping this market to continue outperforming most other regions. This letter will focus on the potential unsustainability of this and the importance of investing with a high margin of safety.
