Pieter Slegers — Our Portfolio in 2026

The New Year's-Day disclosure of the whole book: 18 holdings with the date each was bought and a standing Strong Buy / Buy / Hold on every one — plus the portfolio's cash flow reported as a wage, and a valuation claim ("cheapest it has ever been over the past decade") that the year would spend testing.

One-line take: the archive's earliest full inventory of the portfolio, and the one that dates every position. 18 holdings, $1.47m, a cumulative profit of $163,054 since the 1 October 2023 launch — and, unusually, a published rating per name rather than a conviction tier: six STRONG BUYs (KPG.AX, BRO, KNSL, TOI.V, NVO, CSU.TO), eight BUYs (EVO.ST, DNP.WA, IPAR, AMP, V, JDG.L, HGT.L, BN) and four HOLDs (OTCM, MEDP, LVMUY, GAW.L). The weights show where the money actually is: MEDP 10.2%, LVMH 8.8%, EVO.ST 7.6%, KPG.AX 7.6%, GAW.L 7.0%, tapering to 3.5% for the two most recent buys (CSU.TO in November, BN in December 2025). Three names carry the record — "Medpace, Kelly Partners, and Games Workshop drove the majority of returns" (roughly +$83k, +$56k and +$52k of profit) against five losers led by Evolution AB (about −$31k) and Novo Nordisk (about −$22k) — which is the post's own lesson: "if 6 out of your 10 picks are good ones, you are among the best investors in the world." The valuation claim is stated as a yield: the portfolio's FCF yield is 5.4% against 3.4% a year ago, "the cheapest it has ever been over the past decade," with intrinsic value expected to grow 13.6% in 2026. And the reporting convention that recurs all year begins here: the book is measured in look-through cash — $82,100 a year, $6,842 a month, $0.16 a minute (from $11,985 in 2016, an 18.9% CAGR) — with a stated goal of $1 of free cash flow per minute, which needs a $10.5m portfolio and, at $50,000 of monthly savings and 12% a year, "a little bit more than 7 years."

Two things worth carrying forward. (1) This is a rating sheet, not a conviction ranking. The four Holds are three of the four largest weights (MEDP 10.2%, LVMUY 8.8%, GAW.L 7.0%) plus the oldest position — so a Hold here means "owned, fully valued or under review," not "small". The April 2026 update replaces this scale with four conviction tiers and reaches different answers on the same names (MEDP moves to Very Strong on a 30.3x multiple). (2) The book changes twice in the next four months. OTC Markets is sold on 29 January and replaced by Zoetis, which is why the April roster has ZTS where this one has OTCM.

2. Talking points

The record, stated plainly

Cash flow as the unit of account

The $1-a-minute goal, costed

The valuation claim, expressed as a yield

Owner's Earnings, not price, as the scoreboard

The concentration of returns, acknowledged

Ratings that ignore the P&L

The purchase dates, which the rest of the archive uses

3. In plain English

A jargon-free summary of the thesis behind each argued name. (Renders on each name's consolidated page.)

MEDP — Medpace Holdings Neutral

Medpace runs clinical trials for small biotech companies that have a promising drug but no infrastructure of their own. It gets paid for running the trial whether the drug works or not, which is what separates it from betting on the biotech itself.

It is the largest thing in the portfolio at 10.2% — but that is because it went up about $83,000, not because it was bought that big. The published rating is Hold. That combination is the useful disclosure: Slegers is happy to own it and will not add at this price, and he is not trimming it either. The position size is an outcome, not a decision.

LVMUY — LVMH Neutral

LVMH owns the largest collection of luxury brands in the world — Louis Vuitton, Dior, Moët, Hennessy and dozens more — sold mostly through stores it owns itself, so it controls the price and never has to discount.

It is the second-largest position at 8.8% and modestly profitable, and it carries a Hold. The reason is the same as for the other Holds in this sheet: the business is not in question, the entry price is. Nothing new is argued here; the name is simply confirmed as owned and fully valued going into 2026.

EVO.ST — Evolution AB Positive

Evolution runs live-dealer casino games — real croupiers filmed in a studio, streamed into online gambling sites that license the games rather than build them. It is the market leader and extremely profitable.

What makes it the most interesting row in this sheet is the combination. It is the third-largest position at 7.6%, it is the worst position in the book by money lost (about $31,000), and the rating is still Buy. In other words the price has fallen a long way and Slegers reads that as cheapness rather than as a broken case. Whether that is conviction or anchoring is exactly the question the rest of 2026 answers — by the summer the position is being defended on its buyback rather than its growth.

NVO — Novo Nordisk Positive

Novo Nordisk makes the diabetes and weight-loss injections Ozempic and Wegovy, and shares that market with Eli Lilly.

Bought in May 2025, it is already down about $22,000 — and it is rated STRONG BUY, the highest rating on the sheet. A position that has gone against you and is being marked as the best available price is an unusually clean commitment, and it is testable: the deep dive two weeks later (15 January) sets out the whole argument, and the case is still running in August.

BRO — Brown & Brown Positive

Brown & Brown is an insurance broker: it finds the right cover for businesses and takes a commission without ever carrying the risk itself. Capital-light, recurring, and family-run.

Like Novo Nordisk, it is rated STRONG BUY while sitting on a loss — about $6,000. The January update explains why: the position was deliberately built out during the autumn's one-third drawdown, so the rating reflects the price on offer rather than the entry already made.

OTCM — OTC Markets Group Neutral

OTC Markets runs the trading and data platform for American shares that are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, and charges companies and brokers for access, listings and compliance tools.

It is the oldest holding in the portfolio — bought in the fortnight the whole thing launched — and after more than two years it is roughly where it started. The rating is Hold, which in this sheet is the softest thing said about any position. Four weeks later it becomes the archive's first sale on grounds of stalled growth rather than a mistake in the original thesis, so read this row as the last time OTC Markets appears as a holding.

CSU.TO — Constellation Software Positive

Constellation buys hundreds of small software companies that sell unglamorous but essential programs to narrow industries, and holds them permanently, using their cash to buy more.

The interesting detail here is the date: it was bought on 10 November 2025 and is only 3.45% of the book — the smallest weight, tied with Interparfums — while carrying a STRONG BUY. That is what building into a falling price looks like from the inside: a starter position at the top rating, with room to add, in a name the rest of the archive spends the spring arguing the market has misjudged on AI fear.

BN — Brookfield Corporation Positive

Brookfield owns and operates physical assets — power grids, ports, toll roads, data centres — with its own money and, more profitably, with other people's money for a fee.

This row dates the purchase: 23 December 2025, nine days after the second part of the December deep dive was published, at 3.5% of the portfolio. Four months later it is the position Slegers says he wants to make one of the largest in the book. Read it as the moment a piece of research turned into a position, at a deliberately small starting size.
