Langdon Global Smaller Companies Portfolio returned 9.4% in Q2 2026, underperforming the MSCI World Small Cap Index's 17.0% return primarily due to lack of exposure to information technology hardware companies. The manager emphasizes that price movements are important signals requiring investigation, but not automatic action. During the quarter's elevated volatility, the fund added to positions like YETI and DO & CO where share prices fell more sharply than underlying business fundamentals warranted. YETI continued growing revenue while diversifying manufacturing to mitigate tariff risks, and DO & CO reported record operating profitability. The fund initiated a position in Miami International Holdings, an electronic exchange operator with proprietary technology and new product opportunities in derivatives markets. Royal Unibrew declined 30% after announcing its Pepsi distribution agreement will expire in 2028, representing a genuine structural change requiring valuation reassessment. The manager maintains that successful investing requires distinguishing between temporary sentiment shifts and permanent value changes, remaining intellectually honest when assumptions prove wrong. Year-to-date performance remains below long-term expectations.
Price movements are valuable signals that warrant investigation but do not necessarily require action; successful investing depends on distinguishing between temporary shifts in market sentiment and permanent changes in business value.
The manager emphasizes that their responsibility is not to predict which share prices will rise next quarter, but to assess whether today's price accurately reflects the long-term economics of the business. They acknowledge year-to-date performance remains below long-term expectations but maintain focus on distinguishing between temporary changes in market sentiment and permanent changes in intrinsic value. The tone is patient and disciplined, with conviction that markets often make the correct distinction over time, though rarely immediately.

YETI MIAX RBREW.CO |
Langdon Global Smaller Companies returned 9.4% in Q2 but lagged the benchmark's 17.0% due to underweight information technology hardware exposure. The manager used volatility to add to YETI and DO & CO where prices fell faster than business value, initiated Miami International Holdings for its exchange platform potential, and reassessed Royal Unibrew after its Pepsi agreement expiration. The core thesis: price signals investigation, not automatic action. |
| Apr 15 2026 | 2026 Q1 | GSHD, TOI.TO | AI, Concentration, Drawdown, fundamentals, global, small caps, value | - | Concentrated global small-cap portfolio suffered 15.7% Q1 decline primarily from AI disruption fears affecting three core holdings despite continued business growth. Manager increased conviction positions during drawdown, viewing current prices as disconnected from fundamentals. Portfolio companies expected to grow earnings 23% annually versus 12% market average, creating compelling value opportunity. |

Langdon's small-cap portfolio delivered 6.9% in 2025 despite Q4 weakness, validating their quality-focused approach during market stress. Consumer holdings like YETI and Watches of Switzerland rebounded strongly in Q4 after first-half pressure. The concentrated portfolio of high-quality businesses with strong balance sheets enters 2026 well-positioned for long-term value creation at attractive valuations. |

Manager maintains conviction in quality smaller companies trading at compressed valuations, staying largely invested with 3% cash. Focus remains on founder-involved businesses with self-funded growth and disciplined capital allocation that can double intrinsic value over five years. |

Strong Q2 performance driven by Johns Lyng Group's re-rating and take-private discussions, Agilysys benefiting from hospitality modernization, and Andlauer's strategic sale to UPS. Manager maintains disciplined approach, exiting underperformers while identifying opportunities in specialty insurance, industrial software, and asset-light services in fragmented European markets. |

The manager welcomes this uncertainty as their preferred environment for alpha generation, reducing consumer exposure while maintaining 70% non-US allocation. Recent software investment signals improving US valuations, with the vast small cap opportunity set supporting continued selective deployment. |

Langdon delivered strong 19.8% annual returns led by Westaim validation through CC Capital's $250M investment and successful Skyward exit. Consumer holdings faced margin pressures but trade at decade-low multiples despite solid fundamentals. Manager reduced consumer exposure while maintaining conviction in value opportunities across 30 concentrated global small-cap positions. |

Langdon delivered 9.0% in Q3 through strong US stock picking and a successful Esker exit that returned 2x cost. The manager's innovative extended European research trip reinforced their 'invest like a local' philosophy. Despite some Australian and biotech detractors, the global small-cap strategy continues generating attractive returns through disciplined field research and opportunistic capital deployment. |
| Jul 31 2024 | 2024 Q2 | - | compensation, Europe, global, Quality, small caps, value | - | Langdon's global small-cap fund posted 1.9% in Q2, benefiting from quality companies with conservative balance sheets. The manager sees the end of multiple expansion as favorable for their long-term value approach. Portfolio overweights Europe due to more disciplined executive compensation structures that avoid excessive stock-based dilution common in US companies. |

Langdon's global small-cap portfolio gained 5.1% in Q1 2024, led by four holdings up 30-40% but hurt by Watches of Switzerland's 50% decline. The manager doubled down on Royal Unibrew as the new top holding, viewing current valuations as attractive given temporarily depressed returns from recent acquisitions and inflation. Extensive field research reinforces conviction in undervalued quality businesses. |

Langdon delivered strong 2023 returns of 26.7% through disciplined value investing in 28 global smaller companies. The manager focuses on cash-generative businesses with proven management teams, independent of macro conditions. Despite market volatility from changing rate expectations, the portfolio benefited from buying during dislocations, maintaining the philosophy of not wasting a good crisis. |

ExchangesThe fund initiated a position in Miami International Holdings, an electronic exchange operator in U.S. financial markets. MIAX operates in listed options and is investing in new products across a broader derivatives platform, including equity index futures linked to Bloomberg indices. The company has proprietary technology infrastructure and may benefit from operating leverage as trading volumes increase. |
Derivatives Options Futures Trading |
BeveragesRoyal Unibrew announced that its Pepsi bottling and distribution agreement across Denmark, Finland and the Baltic markets will expire at the end of 2028, representing a structural change in earnings power. The company retains a dominant portfolio of profitable local brands, and management has over two years to optimize manufacturing, reduce costs, and reallocate capital to higher-returning opportunities. |
Bottling Distribution Pepsi Brands | |
Specialty RetailYETI was the fund's second-largest contributor during the quarter and is discussed as a case study in market overreaction. The company continued to grow revenue while diversifying its manufacturing base to mitigate tariff risks. The manager believed the deterioration in market expectations during Q1 was far more severe than the deterioration in the company's underlying economics. |
Consumer Manufacturing Tariffs Brands | |
FoodserviceDO & CO was among the largest contributors and is highlighted as an example where share price declined sharply in Q1 due to tariff and consumer spending concerns, but the business fundamentals remained strong. The company reported another year of record operating profitability while executing cleanly across its airline catering, hospitality and events businesses. |
Airline Catering Hospitality Events Profitability | |
VolatilityThe first half of 2026 was characterized by elevated volatility. The manager notes that when uncertainty rises, the market's time horizon shortens and investors demand immediate clarity, effectively penalizing long-duration assets by discounting far-off cash flows at a much higher rate. This creates opportunities for long-term investors when share prices fall faster than business value. |
Uncertainty Market Duration Discount Rates | |

AIThe market has grouped Goosehead, Hypoport, and SmartCraft into companies perceived to be exposed to AI-related disruption, causing valuation compression despite continued business growth. Current prices appear to assume a degree of damage and pace of change that present facts do not yet support. |

Small CapsPortfolio focuses on smaller companies with market caps between $1.5-7.5 billion where the manager finds the best combination of scalability and entrepreneurial agility. Valuations for smaller companies remain compressed relative to larger peers, with many holdings trading at mid-teens earnings multiples despite high returns on capital. |

Industrial SoftwareThe manager sees attractive opportunities in industrial software and highlights Agilysys as benefiting from structural modernization trends in hospitality. Their software platform is becoming mission-critical for hotels and casinos upgrading property management systems, with the company still in early innings of capturing wallet share globally. |

Healthcare LogisticsAndlauer Healthcare Group's sale to UPS at a meaningful premium demonstrated the strategic value of healthcare logistics businesses. UPS recognized they could not build an Andlauer from scratch and had to acquire them at a premium to expand in Canada, highlighting the quality and defensibility of specialized logistics operations. |

Small CapsManager emphasizes the small cap universe is 10x the size of large caps, providing abundant opportunity. Despite weak IPO activity over the past three years, approximately 1,750 companies have still come to market. The fund maintains focus on building a collection of durable, value-creating businesses that can deliver strong absolute returns across market environments. |
Small Caps IPO Universe Opportunity Value |
Trade PolicyTariff uncertainty has negatively impacted consumer discretionary holdings, with companies like Watches of Switzerland, Thule, YETI, and Do & Co declining 20-35%. The manager notes this uncertainty led to reducing consumer exposure by 20% through the Thule elimination. However, some companies like Fever-Tree successfully navigated tariff concerns by moving production to the US. |
Tariffs Trade Consumer Uncertainty Policy | |
Consumer ElectronicsConsumer discretionary has been the area of weakest returns for the portfolio. The manager decided to reduce exposure to the sector by 20% due to economic and tariff uncertainty. Companies like YETI and Watches of Switzerland saw significant declines, while Royal Unibrew was insulated due to zero US exposure. |
Consumer Discretionary Electronics Exposure Weakness | |
Capital MarketsThe manager discusses the convergence between private and public markets, noting that leading private market firms have gone public despite advocating for staying private longer. The fund views this as a temporal rather than structural shift in capital formation, welcoming the convergence between private and public markets. |

InsuranceWestaim's successful exit from Skyward Specialty Insurance delivered approximately 2.5-3x multiple of capital with 13% gross annualized return.

ValuePortfolio companies like Westaim trading below net cash on balance sheet represent material dislocation between price and value. FeverTree and Royal Unibrew trading at historical low multiples despite strong fundamentals create compelling value opportunities. |

| TICKER | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|
| YETI | YETI continued to grow revenue while further diversifying its manufacturing base to mitigate tariff risks. During the first quarter, both companies experienced sharp share-price declines as investors weighed the potential effects of tariffs, consumer spending pressures, and broader economic uncertainty. The market's message was clear: expectations had become materially more cautious. Our task was to determine whether the change in price was supported by a comparable change in business value. In both cases, our research suggested that it was not. Neither company is immune to economic risks. However, we believed the deterioration in market expectations was far more severe than the deterioration in the companies' underlying economics. As the second quarter progressed, sentiment improved. YETI ended the first half with a positive return of approximately 12% in U.S. dollar terms, while DO & CO also recovered from its earlier decline. Crucially, that subsequent recovery was not the justification for our investment judgement. Our conviction came from the structural view that the businesses had changed less than their share prices suggested. |
| GSHD | Goosehead Insurance, L1 Group and several other holdings also made meaningful positive contributions. |
