Summary
- GCAM's model portfolio underperformed the S&P 500 in 2024 due to underweighting in the top-performing "Magnificent Seven" tech stocks.
- Despite strong returns from holdings like Arista Networks (+87%) and Meta Platforms (+66%), the portfolio's overall performance lagged behind the S&P 500.
- We focus on midcap stocks with proven business models and growth potential, believing they offer better long-term compounding opportunities than large-cap tech giants.
- Our strategy includes investing in high-quality businesses at fair prices, emphasizing smaller companies with strong growth prospects and efficient management teams.
