“Today, we have minimal exposure to-called "quality" companies that are facing headwinds from AI (like SaaS, marketplaces and information services). While we note the potential of these businesses to continue to thrive, we would classify these as falling in the "prediction" category and, hence, view them as a poor investment proposition. The current anchor of the Compounding Capital pool is our group of investments in live entertainment and sports content – Liberty Media (FWONK) (owner of Formula One and MotoGP), Live Nation (via Liberty Live (LLYVK)) and TKO (owner of UFC and WWE).”
