Q1 2026 Turned out to Be my Second Worst Quarter

Q1 2026 turned out to be my second worst quarter since 2022, with a -14.5% return.

With many names down 30% in just one month, it was hard to do much better. My exposure to healthcare partially protected part of the portfolio.

Given the numerous opportunities, I preferred to rotate that part of the healthcare allocation into more offensive stocks in order to take advantage of the current discounts.

I’m extremely confident in my allocation and, based on my fair value estimates, I believe the portfolio can deliver a 24% CAGR over the next five years, a number from which a large part of my conviction comes.
