(TSM), valued at $57.8 million (12.33% allocation), which also experienced a substantial decrease in shares (-23.69%).
Investment Strategy and Sector Focus
Joho Capital's strategy appears heavily tilted towards the Technology sector, evidenced by the dominance of Microsoft and TSM. These two holdings alone account for a significant portion of the portfolio's allocation. The portfolio includes other Technology names like Quanta Services (PWR), though this position has drastically shrunk (-96.47%) in the most recent period. Complementing the Technology focus are smaller allocations to Consumer Defensive stocks, including Walmart (WMT) and Procter & Gamble (PG).
Notable Changes

Conversely, the portfolio added shares in Walmart, increasing its position by 88.69% during the period, although this remains a relatively small allocation (0.5%). The Quanta Services position experienced an extreme reduction, effectively shrinking by 96.47%.
Conclusion
The portfolio managed by Robert Karr at Joho Capital is characterized by a high concentration in Technology stocks, primarily Microsoft and TSM. While these holdings represent the core of the portfolio, the significant reduction in their share counts warrants attention. The addition of shares in Walmart suggests a diversification element, albeit still minor compared to the dominant Technology allocation. Investors should be aware of the concentration risk inherent in this portfolio structure.
