Giverny Capital Annual Letter 2025

François Rochon 2025 Letter to Partners Review Rochon Global Portfolio, AI investment boom, Canadian banks, Shopify, gold stocks, Alphabet, Meta and long-term principles.

  • The Rochon Global Portfolio returned 2.7% in 2025, lagging the benchmark by 11 percentage points, and the letter did not shy away from short-term underperformance.
  • Rochon illustrates the results of compounding using long-term tables from 1993, emphasizing that short-term lags cannot replace the long-term investment process.
  • The letter remains cautious about the AI ​​ecosystem and acknowledges the value of AI tools, but questions whether some capital expenditures and valuation expectations can be realized.
  • Alphabet and Meta are placed in the context of AI-related positions, which is different from blindly chasing the entire AI industry chain.
  • This profile simultaneously demonstrates Giverny's performance, position logic, and restraint on popular themes.

Giverny Capital Annual Letter 2024

Giverny's 2024 Annual Letter reviews portfolio performance, long-term stock selection processes, great business holdings and review of mistakes, and is important context ahead of the 2025 letter.

  • Rochon continues its annual letter tradition with a transparent table tracking Rochon Global and US/Canada portfolio performance.
  • The letter emphasizes long-term holding of quality companies rather than frequent rotation around macro forecasts.
  • Portfolio discussions typically cover U.S. platform companies, Canadian premium companies, and select global consumer/payments companies.
  • Error reviews are an important part of Giverny's annual letter, helping investors see that long-term investing is about more than just showing success.
  • This material is suitable to be read in conjunction with the AI ​​2025 discussion and observe how Rochon tackles hot topics and valuations.

Giverny Capital Annual Letter 2023

Giverny's 2023 annual letter discusses market rebounds, portfolio company operations, long-term investment principles and individual stock cases, reflecting Rochon's focus on growth in the intrinsic value of companies.

  • The market rebounded significantly in 2023, and the annual letter explained performance in the context of long-term compound interest history, rather than treating a single year's rise as proof of investment ability.
  • Rochon focuses on the growth of the intrinsic value of a company per share and believes that stock prices will follow corporate value rather than macro narratives in the long run.
  • Letters typically use company examples to explain selection criteria, including high return on capital, excellent management, and sustainable competitive advantage.
  • Giverny's partner approach emphasizes that clients and managers are in the same boat, reducing the interference of short-term performance pressure on decision-making.
  • This information is very useful for investors to understand Giverny's 13F: position concentration is not an accident, but the result of investment philosophy.

Giverny Capital Annual Letter 2022

Giverny's 2022 letter covers rising rates, falling markets, portfolio drawdowns, and long-term principles and is important material for watching how Rochon communicates during a stressful year.

  • 2022 has been a year of general pressure for quality growth and long-term compounding investors, and the Giverny letter did not shy away from pullbacks.
  • Rochon emphasized that the market will overreact to interest rates and sentiment in the short term, but the long term still depends on corporate earnings and capital allocation.
  • The letter explains why the long-term logic of certain high-quality companies may not break even if short-term valuations compress.
  • Risk control comes more from corporate quality, debt levels and management, rather than timing through macro forecasts.
  • This information helps to understand the position stability and low turnover on the Giverny page.

Giverny Capital Annual Letter 2021

Giverny's 2021 Annual Letter looks back at strong market years, long-term portfolio performance, corporate cases and investment principles, setting the stage for the 2022 pullback.

  • The 2021 letter shows Giverny’s thinking in a strong market environment. The focus is still on the long-term value of the company rather than chasing short-term market conditions.
  • Rochon continues to refer to clients as partners, emphasizing transparency in investment communications and long-term community.
  • The company examples in the letter reflect his preferences: high ROE, long-term growth, excellent management, and understandable business models.
  • Contrast this with the 2022 letter to see how the same process has been adhered to in both tailwind and headwind years.
  • This material is suitable as one of the starting points for a sequence of Giverny's public material.
