"Tweedy, Browne posted solid absolute performance in 2025 but remains cautious, warning that high US valuations and AI-driven speculation will eventually lead to permanent capital losses."
In Q4 2025, Tweedy, Browne reported solid absolute performance across its funds for the calendar year, though relative comparisons against unhedged benchmarks were mixed. The flagship International Value Fund returned 4.19% for the quarter and 23.77% for the year. The investment committee expressed caution regarding current record-high valuations in US equities, warning of speculative AI exuberance reminiscent of the 1990s internet bubble. Accordingly, portfolio activity was subdued: the managers initiated a new position in Sysmex, added to core holdings such as CNH Industrial and Sodexo, and trimmed positions that had approached intrinsic value (e.g., Roche, Novartis, Safran, TotalEnergies) or sold them entirely (Brenntag, DB Insurance, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical). They also announced preliminary SEC approval for the future launch of ETF share classes.
