"The London Company Small Cap portfolio returned 2.5% net in Q4, outperforming the benchmark as speculative high-beta momentum began to fade. The manager remains cautiously positioned in high-quality compounders to buffer against macroeconomic and tariff uncertainties."
During Q4 2025, The London Company Small Cap portfolio gained 2.7% (2.5% net), outperforming the Russell 2000 Index’s 2.2% return. Relative outperformance was driven by solid stock selection, especially as high-beta, low-quality stocks lost momentum toward the end of the quarter. Top individual performers included WTM, RVLV, and HAE. Performance was partially detracted from by NEU, CERT, and GTES. Portfolio activity included initiating a high-conviction position in CCC Intelligent Solutions, completely exiting a volatile stub position in DoubleVerify (DV), and trimming Armstrong World Industries (AWI). The London Company enters 2026 with a cautious but resilient posture, confident that its focus on high-quality compounders with conservative leverage will perform well as market leadership broadens.
