I’m sure most of us are staring at some ugly portfolio numbers right now.
Global tensions are rising, uncertainty is spreading, and the market is doing what it always does in moments like these: selling first and asking questions later. High-quality businesses are being marked down alongside the rest. For long-term investors, that is not a problem. That is an opportunity.
I’ve been through moments like this before, and the lesson is always the same. The investors who come out ahead are not the ones who predicted the selloff. They are the ones who understood their businesses well enough to act with conviction when everyone else was paralysed. That understanding is bearing fruit for me right now. I’ve been able to scale several positions meaningfully, lower my average cost, and position the portfolio for stronger long-term returns, assuming the businesses keep doing what they do.
Compounding rewards patience. It always has.
One thing I’ve committed to during this period is staying away from the news cycle. Not because the macro doesn’t matter, but because obsessing over it rarely leads to better decisions. What has helped is going deeper on my actual holdings. Understanding not just what could go right, but specifically what could go wrong. That second part is underrated. When you have mapped out your worst-case scenarios in advance, you stop reacting emotionally when they start to materialise. You know what it means, you know what to do, and you act from a place of clarity rather than fear.
With that, let’s get into the portfolio.
