“We made one change to the portfolio in the fourth quarter, adding a new position in the Information Technology sector with Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ:FISV), a leading financial services technology company that facilitates the movement of money, helping to run the financial operations of banks and merchants. The company enjoys a leading market position in a rational oligopoly in which the top three companies control 70% of the entire market. We also like the company’s strategy of being a “one-stop-shop” for banks and merchants, resulting in a large financial platform that has the operating scale to outcompete smaller rivals and a recurring revenue model that is highly attractive in uncertain macroeconomic environments.”
