Warren Buffett has attributed his impressive investment returns over the years to his preference for a highly concentrated portfolio. The degree to which a portfolio should be diversified is a topic that splits opinions, with no standard answer. It seems Anabatic Investment Partners has decided that a highly concentrated portfolio is the best way to achieve returns for its investors with only 12 investments in 11 different companies within its portfolio.
This approach has produced impressive results for the firm. Anabatic Fund, L.P. returned +26.3% net of fees in 2016, gaining 5.19% in December alone. At the end of the year, cash was 24% of assets, according to the hedge fund's 2016 letter to investors.
