"Source Capital delivered a solid 4.59% return for Q3 2025, driven by strong equity selections. The fund is maintaining a cautious stance, holding over 20% cash due to historically tight spreads in the public high-yield debt markets."
Source Capital's NAV gained 4.59% in Q3 2025 and 13.76% for the trailing twelve months. The fund maintains a nearly balanced risk profile between Equities (40.6%) and Credit (34.3%), along with a large Cash position (20.8%). In equities, Citigroup and Alphabet were key performance contributors, while International Flavors & Fragrances and CarMax detracted but remain high-conviction value turnarounds. In credit, the managers have largely avoided traditional public high yield due to historically tight spreads (297 bps), choosing instead to commit 25.6% of the fund to private credit.
