"Third Avenue Value Fund capped off a stellar 2025 with a 35.46% YTD return, driven by mining and European bank re-ratings. S."
The Third Avenue Value Fund delivered a robust return of 7.47% in Q4 2025, ending the full-year 2025 up 35.46%, materially outperforming the MSCI World Index. Top contributors for the quarter and year included mining holdings (Warrior Met Coal, Capstone Copper, Lundin Mining) and European financial holdings (Bank of Ireland, Deutsche Bank). In response to valuation re-ratings, the Fund materially trimmed its bank holdings and fully exited Comerica after a takeover bid by Fifth Third Bancorp. In Japan, the Fund balanced relative valuations by marginally trimming Horiba to buy JEOL, and remains optimistic about corporate governance reforms. A new position was initiated in T.S. Lines Ltd., a container shipper poised to benefit from intra-Asia trade and a potential high-yield dividend. Despite headwinds in oil & gas services, the Fund remains committed to offshore energy plays, viewing U.S. shale as structurally slowing. The manager emphasizes 'resource conversion' as a central driver of future portfolio value.
