"The Fund returned 7.46% in Q3, trailing the index due to a speculative, lower-quality stock rally, but remains well ahead YTD (+13.77%) due to its strict focus on highly resilient quality compounders."
During 3Q 2025, FPA Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund returned 7.46%, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, which returned 12.60%. However, YTD performance remains strong at 13.77% vs 9.04% for the index. The underperformance in the quarter was attributed to a speculative 'junky' rally that favored low-quality and high-beta stocks. The managers avoided adding new positions but reinforced holdings in Nelnet, RLI Corp, Ingles Markets, and Vishay Intertechnology, while entirely exiting Treehouse Foods. Cash reserves rose to 10.1% due to inflows and the buyout of Enstar Group.
