=== SUMMARY ===
- The post highlights Fidelity Contrafund’s long-term outperformance under manager Danoff (+13.55% vs 10.83% index since 1993) and notes the fund’s largest active bets and unique holdings.
- The author’s thesis is that Danoff is a “rockstar” fund manager whose flexible, growth-oriented style has delivered consistent alpha; the post shares notable portfolio positions as evidence of his stock-picking skill.
- Quality assessment: This is informed commentary based on public fund data and holdings, but lacks original research, risk analysis, or a clear investment thesis beyond praising the manager. It qualifies as moderate-quality speculation.

The Fidelity Contrafund doesn't get much discussion here. +13.19% per annum since 1967 and PM Danoff has managed it since 1990.
Over his tenure (using start of 1993 because the SPY tracker only ETF for the total returns tool only starts from there) the returns if reinvested were 13.55% vs 10.83% for the index.
Probably means he's the actual rockstar of Fidelity vs Lynch given the tenure of outperformance.
Doubly impressive given he managed to do it with 180b of FUM.
Thought the latest holdings were very interesting. Some things that stood out.
- He's got the biggest active bet on Meta vs the other Mag7, he's underweight for Microsoft and Apple.
- He loves his pre-IPO plays (spacex series, canva etc)
- The active bet on Amphenol is big and makes it into the top 10 holdings
- He's backed SK Hynix over Micron or Samsung in the memory chip space.
- Outside of TSMC his 5 biggest non US holdings are (Shopify, SK Hynix, BAT, Tencent, Franco Nevada).
His style is definitely more on the growth side but it's clear from his holdings he has a very open mind. Maybe that contributes to outperformance over 3 decades.
