Current Investment Strategy
Sir Christopher Hohn's TCI Fund Management maintained its highly concentrated activist approach in Q3 2025, holding just nine positions totaling $52.7 billion with General Electric (now GE Aerospace) commanding 27% of the portfolio as the fund's largest position, followed by substantial stakes in Visa, Microsoft, Moody's, and S&P Global. The London-based hedge fund continued its focus on high-quality companies with predictable free cash flow and sustainable competitive advantages, while Ferrovial, a global infrastructure operator experiencing strong growth in its North American highways and construction divisions, represented one of its key holdings in the portfolio.
New Investments
TCI Fund Management did not open any new positions during Q3 2025.
Added, Trimmed, and Exited
Added
TCI Fund Management made a massive addition to Visa (V), increasing the position by approximately 47% (adding nearly 9 million shares), making it one of their largest holdings. The fund also made minor additions to S&P Global (SPGI) and Moody's (MCO), though these represented less than 1% increases in share count.
What it means: The aggressive accumulation of Visa signals strong conviction in the payments giant's competitive moat and growth prospects, particularly as digital payments continue to gain share globally. This concentrated bet aligns with TCI's value-oriented philosophy of backing businesses with durable competitive advantages. The token additions to the credit rating agencies suggest these are maintenance adjustments rather than material strategic shifts, likely aimed at maintaining target allocation levels in what TCI views as essential financial infrastructure businesses with pricing power.
Trimmed
TCI Fund Management significantly reduced exposure to Alphabet (GOOG) by 41% and Canadian National (CNI) by 18%, while making smaller trims to Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CP), Microsoft (MSFT), both reduced by approximately 5-6%.
What it means: The substantial reduction in Alphabet and both Canadian railways suggests TCI may be reallocating capital away from positions facing near-term headwinds or valuation concerns. The Alphabet trim could reflect concerns about AI competition pressures or regulatory challenges, while the railway reductions may indicate worries about North American trade volumes or the funds being redeployed to higher-conviction opportunities like Visa. The modest Microsoft trim appears more like portfolio rebalancing than a fundamental view change, maintaining meaningful exposure while harvesting gains to fund other positions.
Exited
TCI Fund Management did not fully exit any positions during Q3 2025.
