"The AMG Yacktman Fund outperformed its benchmarks in 2025 with a 19.82% return, powered by a strong rebound in Samsung and emerging structural reforms in South Korea, while remaining committed to long-term value and downside protection."
The AMG Yacktman Fund posted strong gains for Q4 2025 (6.20%) and FY 2025 (19.82%), outperforming the S&P 500 and Russell 1000 Value indices. Top performer Samsung Electronics drove results after gaining HBM memory qualification with NVIDIA and restructuring its mobile business. Hyundai Mobis also contributed strongly due to EV expansion and South Korea's sweeping 'value-up' governance reforms, which the manager believes could eliminate the historical 'Korean discount.' On the downside, U-Haul and Bolloré acted as detractors due to structural/analyst coverage dynamics and litigation, respectively; however, the fund remains constructive on both, citing high asset quality, sound capital allocation, and cheap valuations.
