"Despite a modest 2.7% decline in Q3 due to market-sentiment headwinds, Langdon Global Smaller Companies Portfolio remains highly constructive on its high-conviction compounders, leveraging a cyclical small-cap valuation discount to generate long-term compounding opportunities."
In Q3 2025, the Langdon Global Smaller Companies Portfolio declined by 2.7%. While underlying earnings and free cash flow remained robust, short-term small-cap performance was heavily pressured by macro sentiment, liquidity, and ETF-driven outflows. Strong positive attribution came from Johns Lyng Group (takeover bid), DO & CO (catering margin recovery), Rosebank Industries (synergies from the ECI acquisition), and BayCurrent. YETI detracted modestly, prompting a deep-dive thesis review that reaffirmed the manager's strong, long-term conviction in its cash generation and international growth levers. Financial holdings like Kinsale and Goosehead experienced multiple compression despite spectacular organic growth. The fund remains almost fully invested with ~2.8% cash, capitalizing on compressed small-cap valuations relative to larger-cap benchmarks.
