Morningstar - Q3 2022 - 63
Switch won't necessarily be replaced by another
tech company. The team builds the portfolio
from the bottom up and invests outside
traditional growth sectors. It currently holds more
in energy than the typical small-growth fund,
for example.
Natural gas company Chesapeake Energy CHK is
a recent addition here after it emerged from
bankruptcy. " This company came out with a clean
balance sheet, " Nicholas says. " They sold their
properties that were not tied to natural gas-
and natural gas is part of the solution to going
green, so we saw that as a positive. "
That said, the portfolio overall consistently plots
in the small-cap growth corner of the market.
Adaptive Change
The process has evolved as the market has
changed, however. The portfolio is more
concentrated than it used to be-one reason the
strict sell discipline is necessary. Nicholas
says that the explosion of exchange-traded funds
has created more competition. In response,
the strategy has more active exposure to improve
its ability to outperform its benchmark, the Russell
2000 Growth Index. The number of holdings
in the portfolio is generally between 60 and 70,
and the top 10 holdings make up around 30%
of assets.
Meanwhile, the rise of algorithmic trading has
created opportunties. " You do see more
volatility than you did, say, 15 years ago, " Nicholas
says. " Trading that's not fundamentally driven-
whether by algos or retail investors-is an
opportunity to cut back or buy. "
Another significant change: " The complexity of
some of the companies we look at today is
increased, particularly in some of the life sciences
and technology spaces, like biotech and
artificial intelligence, " Wylie adds. " The ability to
manage the velocity of new information and
the skill and depth to identify what is important
and actionable is critical to success. "
One way they've adapted to that change is
by adding healthcare and technology specialists
to the portfolio management team who
bring actual industry expertise to their analysis.
Catherine Nicholas, John Wylie, Lisa Wheatley, and
Monika Garg of Nicholas Investment Partners.
