About Triple Frond Partners

Triple Frond Partners runs a concentrated, long-biased equity book — 12 disclosed positions, with nearly two-thirds of the portfolio sitting in the top five names as of the most recent filing. The current lineup skews toward wide-moat compounders with durable pricing power: ASML's lithography monopoly, Transdigm's aftermarket aviation model, and scaled-platform businesses in Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon. That combination suggests a quality-growth orientation rather than deep statistical cheapness. What a reader should weigh carefully is the backtest: a latticework clone replicating disclosed positions with a 45-day lag produced roughly +0.2% annualized excess return over SPY across 12 years — essentially index-level performance when copied mechanically. That gap between a concentrated, high-conviction book and near-benchmark clone returns can reflect timing, position sizing shifts between filings, or activity in instruments — options, shorts, international listings — that never appear on a 13F at all.

2026Q2 brief

Triple Frond Partners ($1.12B, 13 positions) runs one of the most concentrated books among tracked super-investors, and Q2 2026 shows the portfolio sharpening further. The fund initiated DASH (DoorDash, 4.9%) and S&P Global SPGI (4.2%) while exiting ILMN (Illumina, previously 3.9%) — a clear pivot from genomics-sequencing hardware toward a high-frequency platform compounder and a deeply moated financial data franchise. DASH is a contrarian flavor here: most value-oriented concentrated managers avoid it, making this a differentiated call on last-mile delivery monetization and platform expansion. SPGI aligns more with the fund's existing preference for toll-road-style businesses (see MA at 8.0% and TRU at 5.3%). The top of the book remains anchored by ASML (21.1%), TDG (12.7%), MSFT (11.7%), AMZN (9.2%), and GOOG (9.2%) — a durable-moat, secular-growth framework with heavy European semiconductor exposure that stands apart from most U.S.-centric peers. With 13 positions and no trims this quarter, conviction is running high. Watch whether DASH gets sized up meaningfully or stays as a monitoring position in the next filing.
