The SCRai Update - Four new positions added
To read our full disclaimer, click here.
The reality of concentrated investing is simple: you find far more exceptional opportunities than any single portfolio can hold.
The Schwar Capital Research Asymmetry Index (SCRai) captures these opportunities.
Each one reflects what I view as an asymmetric setup - though not necessarily suitable for my current portfolio at this moment.
Performance:
The SCRai is up 0.49% since inception, compared with the S&P 500’s -0.12% decline.
The positions added over the past two weeks have performed well so far, with GAMB up more than 8%, KSPI up 9% and SRB.L gaining 15% in just a week.
Here are the updated average statistics of the companies in the Index.
Forward PEs are compressing significantly as earnings growth accelerates, with returns on invested capital over 20% on average and nearly 20% revenue growth over the trailing twelve months.
These are averages, naturally. Individual companies may skew the figures.
But the premise holds: quality businesses, growing earnings and revenue at a strong clip, recently hammered.
All of which, we think, creates an asymmetric setup.
Updates:
We have added four positions to the index this week:
ADBE
LULU
NVO
DUOL
The Full Index - 22 Positions
The SCRai tracks businesses I believe exhibit asymmetric characteristics: quality companies with strong unit economics, growing earnings, and valuations that appear compressed relative to their fundamentals.
These aren’t recommendations - they’re ideas.
