Our lone portfolio addition, Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN), requires little introduction. Amazon has built an unassailable global competitive advantage in its core retail business, and we believe it will continue to gain worldwide retail (not just e-commerce) market share for many years to come. In addition, Amazon Web Services has also built a significant share in the large and rapidly growing “infrastructure as a service” market. We foresee Amazon’s unique technical capabilities, global scale and culture of customer obsession will allow the company to grow its business value for many years.
