Portfolio Holdings & Characteristics

HoldingsAs of 03/31/2024

HoldingSector% of Net Assets
CoStar Group, Inc.
CoStar Group, Inc. (CSGP) is the leading provider of information and marketing services to the commercial real estate industry.
CoStar has built a proprietary database through data collection over a 20-year period, creating high barriers to entry. We think CoStar's suite should grow at mid-teens rates, and we believe its Loopnet marketing platform can grow even faster. Its Apartments.com platform is the dominant multi-family internet listing service and should grow revenue by more than 20%. CoStar is starting to expand into residential, creating additional significant growth opportunities. Its balance sheet and cash generation create M&A optionality.

Hyatt Hotels Corporation
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (H) is a global hospitality company with 1,335 Hyatt-branded properties representing 322,141 keys. The company's brands include Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt, Hyatt Place, and Hyatt Summerfield Suite. It derives 85% of EBITDA from fees and 15% from owned assets.
We believe Hyatt has a significant opportunity to market more of its brands globally, given an undersupply of rooms across the world. Compared to peers, Hyatt has the least global brand penetration and the largest pipeline of unit growth. We believe its asset light strategy and strong balance sheet, coupled with continued robust pricing for hotel assets, give Hyatt an opportunity to generate strong growth in earnings and cash flow. The resulting increased cash could be used for buybacks and further tuck-in acquisitions and could result in multiple expansion over time.
Consumer Discretionary5.3%
NVIDIA Corporation
NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) sells semiconductors, systems, and software for accelerated computing, gaming, and artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI).
Demand for computer power has doubled every one to two years, driven by recent developments in GenAI, yet supply growth has decelerated dramatically due to the slowdown in Moore's law. NVIDIA’s accelerated architecture enables continued growth in processing power through parallelization. We are at the tipping point of a new era in computing with NVIDIA at its epicenter as GenAI adoption grows. Given its leading market share in gaming, data centers, and autonomous machines, we believe NVIDIA can grow rapidly for years to come.
Information Technology5.1%
Red Rock Resorts, Inc.
Red Rock Resorts, Inc. (RRR) owns and operates 20 local casinos in Las Vegas and is in the planning stages of developing and managing another tribal casino in California. It also controls seven gaming-entitled sites consisting of almost 600 acres in Las Vegas and 30 acres in Reno.
The company operates in the improving Las Vegas locals gaming market, which is now back to its 2007 peak levels. We think the market is attractive, given favorable fundamentals including population growth 2.7 times the national average and $20 billion of development projects that are either in the planning stages or under development. The market also offers the lowest tax rate in the U.S., with limitations on the development of other casinos in the region. Red Rock also has the option to develop or sell its owned acreage for gaming in Las Vegas and Reno.
Consumer Discretionary5.0%
Tesla, Inc.
Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) manufactures electric vehicles, including a luxury sedan and CUV (S/X), a mid-sized luxury sedan and hatchback (3/Y), and pickup and semi-trucks. It is also ramping up internal battery cell production, energy solutions, and software offerings such as full self-driving and insurance.
We expect Tesla will continue to grow its automotive business rapidly through international production capacity and product expansion. We believe Tesla's vertical integration, technology innovation, brand, profitability, and growing supplier support offer unique and durable growth opportunities that are hard to replicate. In addition, Tesla's energy and software expertise is broadening the industrial opportunity to large and profitable revenue avenues that were previously locked in the legacy vehicle architecture, such as autonomous, insurance, and other AI use cases.
Consumer Discretionary4.9%
MSCI Inc.
MSCI Inc. (MSCI) provides investment decision support tools to global investment institutions.
We believe MSCI, the de facto standard for measuring global market performance, is positioned to benefit from the continuing development of emerging markets, passive investing, ESG, and the growth of global financial assets. We believe the company's indexes remain the global standard for cross-border investing and will continue to be selected by institutions when issuing new mandates. Both the index and multi-asset portfolio and risk analytics products are mission-critical and deeply embedded in client workflows.
Financials4.8%
Interactive Brokers Group, Inc.
Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (IBKR) is an automated global electronic broker. It provides low-cost execution, clearing, and settlement of trades for retail and institutional customers across multiple asset classes and currencies.
Interactive Brokers is gaining share because of its advanced technology, quality of execution, and low trading costs. We expect the company to continue growing rapidly through international expansion and as domestic RIAs depart traditional institutions to launch their own firms. The company's competitive advantage comes from automation through best-in-class software engineering, which enables it to offer industry-low costs to customers. Founder and Chairman Thomas Peterffy is well-regarded and is the company's largest shareholder.
Financials4.4%
Arch Capital Group Ltd.
Arch Capital Group Ltd. (ACGL) is a Bermuda-based insurance company providing property & casualty insurance, reinsurance, and mortgage insurance.
Arch is led by an experienced management team with a successful track record across insurance cycles. The company excels at underwriting specialized policies and can nimbly shift its business mix to target the most profitable lines as market conditions change. The company is currently benefiting from favorable pricing trends across many of its product lines. In our view, management has demonstrated strong underwriting discipline and capital stewardship, allowing Arch to maintain industry-leading returns on equity with less volatility.
Financials4.4%
ANSYS, Inc.
ANSYS, Inc. (ANSS) is a market leader offering simulation tools used mostly for product development. Companies use simulation software to test and optimize real-world forces on increasingly complex designs without a physical model, driving improving design, cost reduction, and shorter time to market.
ANSYS's multiphysics solutions allow engineers to test a broad range of designs, enabling lower development costs, reduced time to market, and optimized products. The company has a meaningful recurring revenue base and customer retention rate in excess of 90%. It generates high margins and free cash flow due to the scalability of its software, which it has reinvested in R&D and acquisitions. In January 2024, Synopsys announced an agreement to acquire ANSYS in a deal expected to close in the first half of 2025, which we expect to drive continued growth.
Information Technology4.1%
Gartner, Inc.
Gartner, Inc. (IT) is the leading independent provider of research and advisory services for IT, HR, sales, finance, and marketing leaders.
Gartner has a vast addressable market, which management estimates exceeds $70 billion annually, implying a penetration rate of less than 3%. IT is rapidly changing and growing in strategic importance, leading users to turn to third-party providers for insight into trends. Gartner enjoys retention rates of more than 100%, driven by the low price of its research relative to value. We think consistent execution in Global Technology Sales and improvements in Global Business Sales will help accelerate Research growth into the low double digits.
