"Bonhoeffer Fund returned 1.3% in Q3 2025, underperforming major indices as it undergoes a portfolio transition, rotating away from cyclical and declining-RoE companies to invest in high-ROIIC compounders like Fairfax Financial and Autohellas."
In the third quarter of 2025, the Bonhoeffer Fund generated a return of 1.3% net of fees, underperforming indices like the S&P 500 (8.1%) and the DFA International Small Cap Value Fund (10.7%). The manager is actively executing a strategic portfolio transformation, rotating assets out of declining-RoE, slow-growth companies (exiting positions in Citizens Bancshares and Millicom) and reinvesting in high-ROIIC compounders within distribution, banking, and insurance (notably adding Fairfax Financial). The letter presents detailed case studies of key holdings: Ferreycorp (a Peruvian Caterpillar dealer positioned for secular copper mining demand), Autohellas (a European consolidator of Hertz operations with high compounding capabilities), and Fairfax Financial (a global insurer successfully applying Berkshire-style underwriting and investment float leverage). The fund is also increasing its US exposure to over 50% and exploring opportunities in high-yielding Business Development Companies.
