"Tweedy, Browne logged strong absolute performance in 2025 but remains cautious on global markets, specifically US equities, and continues to rotate capital into deeply discounted international names while preparing to launch new ETF share classes."
During Q4 2025, all four Tweedy, Browne Funds generated positive absolute returns, with full-year calendar performance ranging from 21.56% to 26.59%. However, relative performance was mixed, with only the Value Fund outperforming its primary benchmarks over both measurement periods. The managers observed that currency hedging diluted returns for much of 2025 due to US dollar weakness, although the dollar regained strength during Q4. Portfolio activity was subdued but included initiating a new position in Sysmex Corporation and increasing holdings in CNH Industrial, Sodexo, and CVS Group. Conversely, they fully exited Brenntag, DB Insurance, and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical, and trimmed larger holdings (including Roche, Novartis, and Safran) that approached intrinsic value. A key operational milestone was reached with preliminary SEC approval for establishing ETF share classes. Strategically, the managers remain cautious on broad US equity valuations, focusing heavily on undervalued international equities to protect capital and capture future upside.
