Distillate Capital's Q1 2026 letter focuses on how market volatility creates opportunities through systematic rebalancing. The firm's Small/Mid Cap Quality & Value strategy returned 5.94% net of fees, outperforming the Russell 2000's 0.92% return. The core thesis centers on fundamentals driving long-term returns, with value strategies outperforming through better underlying cash flow growth rather than valuation expansion. The strategy systematically rebalances from expensive to cheaper stocks, increasing portfolio-level free cash flows. In small caps, selectivity is critical given the large number of unprofitable and highly leveraged companies in the Russell 2000. The portfolio targets the intersection of low debt and attractive valuations, with significant energy sector exposure. Key risks include rich market valuations, technological disruption, geopolitical uncertainty, and high debt levels across markets. The manager remains confident that disciplined value investing focused on fundamentals will continue to generate superior returns despite short-term market volatility and valuation swings.
Fundamentals ultimately drive returns, and systematic rebalancing from expensive to cheaper stocks based on free cash flow metrics can generate superior portfolio-level fundamental growth and outperformance over time.
The manager expects fundamentals to continue driving returns over the long term, despite short-term valuation multiple swings. They believe systematic rebalancing into better-valued stocks will generate superior fundamental growth over time, and view current market dispersion as creating significant opportunities for value-based strategies.
