"For the handful of companies in Andvari portfolios that do make physical goods, they all share a mitigating factor: they all have above average pricing power. The source of their pricing power stems from selling products that are critical to the end user and yet are a small proportion of the customers’ total costs. They also often bene t from high switching costs. Danaher, Mettler-Toledo, Zoetis, and IDEXX fall into this camp, as well as TransDigm Group Incorporated (NYSE:TDG).
