Nathaniel Simons - Meritage Group Investment Strategy & Portfolio Analysis

How Meritage Group allocates capital, manages risk, and constructs its portfolio — based on SEC 13F filings.

As of Jun 30, 2026, Nathaniel Simons's Meritage Group portfolio reflects a concentrated approach across 12 reported 13F positions. Portfolio returns are primarily driven by a small set of mega-cap compounders, with the top five holdings accounting for approximately 62% of total exposure and Microsoft alone contributing ~18%. While the portfolio includes 12 positions, economic outcomes are highly concentrated in a narrow set of large-cap technology and growth-oriented names, indicating a meaningful divergence between structural diversification and return concentration. Exposure to high-growth and technology-oriented segments is elevated relative to peers, with performance anchored in growth-oriented names across financials, technology, and consumer discretionary. The portfolio exhibits extremely low turnover, reinforcing a patient, conviction-led investment approach. Distinctive traits include Long-Term Holder, Moderately Concentrated, Economically Concentrated.
