“While the bulk of MongoDB, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:MDB) portfolio exposures continued to remain relatively stable over the December quarter, we did undertake some modest hands-on portfolio management in the tail-end of the portfolio.

We exited three of Montaka’s smallest portfolio names. While we see long-term upside in all of these names, we see more upside elsewhere. Hence, we reallocated these proceeds to (i) scale up Montaka’s investment in Alphabet on increased probabilities that its advantages in Google Search are strengthening (not to mention the group’s numerous growth options increasing in probability – from YouTube, to Waymo, and even quantum computing); and (ii) to establish an initial ‘outlier’ position in database software provider, MongoDB (MDB).

We view outliers as ‘option-like’ in that their upside potential is very large, but the probability is far less certain. On this basis, we deliberately restrict Montaka’s aggregate portfolio allocation to outliers – which currently stands at less than 7%. The remaining 93% of Montaka’s portfolio is allocated to businesses we classify as ‘compounders’.
