On today's episode, Clay and Kyle give an overview of their best quality stock idea for Q4 2024. This quarter, they discuss Mastercard. Mastercard is a well-known company in the world of quality investors. Since its IPO in 2006, the stock has compounded at north of 30% per year.

The company is also held in many superinvestors portfolios, including Chuck Akre, Dev Kantesaria, Warren Buffett, Francois Rochon, Guy Spier, and Tom Russo — many of which have been featured on our podcast. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: 00:00 - Intro 02:06 - An overview of Mastercard's business model and what happens when we make everyday payments. 09:51 - Why Fintech companies aren't a threat to Mastercard and Visa. 14:44 - Why Mastercard and Visa have one of the strongest moats in the world. 44:32 - The potential risks of investing in Mastercard. 57:30 - Our thoughts on Mastercard's valuation. 01:08:36 - Our updated thoughts on Evolution AB. 01:19:15 - TIP's next event in Omaha for our TIP Mastermind Community.

This episode's guest is a longtime holder of Berkshire stock and has been an avid student of Buffett's style of value investing since meeting the legendary investor at Stanford Business School in the early 1980s. He is Tom Russo, managing member of the investment advisory firm Gardner Russo & Quinn, where he oversees the Semper Vic Partners Funds, which he launched in 1983 after hearing Buffett address his class at Stanford. The global value manager focuses on owning a small group of exceptionally well-managed, well-known brand name firms, many family-owned, with dominant, almost unassailable positions in their mostly consumer-oriented businesses, and then holding them pretty much forever. Berkshire Hathaway has consistently been one of his largest positions. In this weekend's interview, we will learn how Buffett's talk in graduate school made such a huge impression on him.

Not satisfied with the lack of value most student-run investment clubs offered to students, Tom Russo designed a better way.   Through the 5x5x5 Russo Student Investment Fund, he set out to prove the teaching value of a long-term fund rather than the conventional short-term activity that the existing systems favored.   Each year, students submit their ideas for new investments with five ideas ultimately being selected and held in their entirety for five years. At the end of those five years, the inflation-adjusted original amount is invested back into the fund and any other gains are used to support scholarships for traditionally under-represented members of the class.   Today I'm joined by Tom Russo himself to discuss this year's picks for the 5x5x5 fund with three of the students who pitched them. I continue to be impressed with the sophistication of the insights made by the students and the professional discussions that arise for each pitch.   In this episode, Tom, Rainbow, Andreas, Ryan, and I discuss why they were initially attracted to the companies they pitched, the competitive advantages and under-appreciated opportunities that exist, key factors that appealed to each of them for their selected companies, and so much more!   Key Topics:   The problem with most student-run investment clubs (1:18) How the 5x5x5 Russo Student Investment Fund started (2:22) Goals of the program (4:04) Performance of the Fund's international holdings (7:01) How personal experience drew Rainbow's interest in Atlassian (9:45) Atlassian's self-reinforcing competitive advantage (10:45) What makes Atlassian an extraordinary investment (12:10) Managing the risk of industry consolidation (15:59) Rainbow's initial research focus on Atlassian partners (18:05) Understanding the magnitude of investment and return on investment (19:32) The types of companies we like to invest in (22:54) What initially attracted Andreas to Vestas Wind Systems (24:36) Key facts about Vestas (25:39) The main elements that make Vestas an attractive investment (27:41) How Vestas' margins are impacted by the effects of Wright's Law (30:54) Why Andreas isn't concerned about the intermittent nature of wind power (33:06) Mitigating the core risks associated with Vestas (35:03) Understanding the real return on capital committed (36:47) Why Ryan became interested in Gruma (39:49) Key facts about Gruma (40:34) The investment opportunity Ryan sees in Gruma (43:44) Ryan's confidence in the founding family and management (47:01) The value of the Gruma brand and steady leadership (48:34) Underappreciated insights into Gruma (50:36) How Gruma handles distribution (53:40) Ryan's assessment of Gruma's Europe business (55:01) And much more!   Mentioned in this Episode:   5x5x5 Student Investment Fund Rainbow Chik's Write-Up of Atlassian Andreas Helland's Write-Up of Vestas Wind Systems Ryan Albert's Write-Up of Gruma, S.A.B. de C.V.   Thanks for Listening!   Be sure to subscribe on Apple, Google, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Thomas A. Russo joined Gardner Russo & Gardner LLC as a partner in 1989. In 2014, he became the Managing Member of the firm. Gardner Russo & Gardner LLC is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and is not associated with any bank, security dealer or other third party. Mr. Russo serves as Managing Member of Gardner Russo & Gardner LLC and of Semper Vic Partners GP, LP, which oversees two “global value”, long-only, equity investment partnerships, the first of which Mr. Russo founded in 1983. Mr. Russo oversees more than $12 billion distributed between Semper Vic partnerships and separate accounts managed in parallel fashion. Mr. Russo looks for companies with strong cash-flow characteristics that generate large amounts of “free” cash flow. These industries typically have included branded food and beverage, tobacco, and advertising-supported media. Mr. Russo's portfolio companies tend to produce high rates of return on their assets and have strong balance sheets. The challenge comes in finding these obviously desirable investments at compelling valuations. Mr. Russo commits capital to leading global consumer products companies whose brands enjoy growing market shares in parts of the world undergoing economic growth and enjoying increasing political stability. He prefers companies with sufficient cash flows from existing operations, combined with balance-sheet strength, to underwrite investments designed to activate emerging markets. Mr. Russo backs rare management teams willing to invest to secure robust future returns even when such investments burden current reported profits. Mr. Russo believes that managements of family-controlled companies have the “capacity to suffer” when investments intended to build long-term wealth are ill-received by short-term focused Wall Street analysts. Mr. Russo believes that such “capacity to suffer” leaves family-controlled companies often uniquely well positioned to bear short-term burdens on reported profits in pursuit of long-term gains in intrinsic value. Accordingly, he often invests in public companies where founding families still retain control and significant investment exposure, to reduce management agency costs and to align owner interests. Mr. Russo's goal is one of an absolute return rather than a relative return. He pursues a long-term investment objective of compounding assets between 10 and 20 percent per year without great turnover, thereby deferring capital gains tax on unrealized gains. Thomas Russo is a graduate of Dartmouth College (BA, 1977), and Stanford Business and Law Schools (MBA/JD, 1984). Memberships include Dean's Advisory Council for Stanford Law School, Dartmouth College's President's Leadership Council, and California Bar Association. Mr. Russo is a charter member of the Advisory Board for the Heilbrunn Center for Graham & Dodd Investing at Columbia Business School. He serves on the boards of the Winston Churchill Foundation of the U.S., Facing History and Ourselves, and Storm King Art Center. In May 2017, he was awarded The Graham & Dodd, Murray, Greenwald Prize for Value Investing.
