"The London Company Large Cap portfolio gained 0.2% net in Q4 2025, trailing the benchmark due to headwinds in its characteristic quality focus. The fund took decisive actions by exiting Fiserv and adding to defensive holdings as it prepares for late-cycle macroeconomic volatility in 2026."
In Q4 2025, The London Company Large Cap portfolio returned 0.4% (0.2% net) compared to 2.4% for the Russell 1000 Index. Underperformance was driven by headwinds in stock selection, sector exposure, and quality factor tilt as volatility and narrow market leadership dominated. Key contributors included Alphabet (GOOG), FedEx (FDX), and Chubb (CB). Detractors were led by Fiserv (FI), which was subsequently exited after hitting its soft stop loss, NewMarket (NEU), and BlackRock (BLK). The fund engaged in several strategic trades: increasing exposure to Chubb (CB), Norfolk Southern (NSC), and Republic Services (RSG), while trimming its position in Alphabet (GOOG) to stay within concentration limits. Looking into 2026, the firm maintains a cautious yet constructive posture, preparing for potential market volatility by focusing on defensive, high-quality companies with robust balance sheets and strong cash flow generation.
