"Tweedy, Browne achieved strong absolute returns of 21.56% to 26.59% in 2025, while maintaining a highly disciplined, cautious value approach to navigate what they view as excessive US equity valuations and speculative AI hype."
In their Q4 2025 Commentary, Tweedy, Browne reports solid financial progress for their funds, with absolute calendar year returns ranging from 21.56% to 26.59%. However, relative comparisons were mixed as only the Value Fund outperformed its primary benchmarks. A weakening US dollar for much of the year aided unhedged funds but diluted returns for the currency-hedged flagship International Value Fund. The firm received preliminary SEC approval for pioneering ETF share classes of their mutual funds, which they view as a potential industry game-changer. Looking forward, the investment committee warns against excessive valuations in US markets and AI-fueled bubble dynamics, expressing preference for the heavily discounted international value space. Portfolio activity was subdued but strategic: the funds initiated a position in Sysmex, added to core value ideas like CNH Industrial and Sodexo, and trimmed various winners (Roche, Novartis, Safran, TotalEnergies, and defense plays BAE and Rheinmetall) that approached fair value.
