"The AMG Yacktman Focused Fund outperformed benchmarks in 2025 with a 24.14% gain, driven by Samsung's AI chip milestones and constructive macro reforms in South Korea."
The AMG Yacktman Focused Fund delivered a strong performance in 2025, returning 24.14% (Class I) and outperforming its benchmarks, the Russell 1000 Value Index and the S&P 500. Major performance drivers included Samsung Electronics, which gained momentum from its NVIDIA HBM qualification, Hyundai Mobis, and Warner Bros. Discovery. Conversely, U-Haul and Bolloré acted as detractors due to temporary operational or legal headwinds, though the managers remain highly confident in their underlying long-term asset value and disciplined capital allocation. Additionally, the managers highlight significant upside potential from South Korea's 'value-up' governance reforms, which could fundamentally re-rate Korean equities.
