"GoodHaven's '2.0' transition under Larry Pitkowsky has delivered top-tier 3 and 5-year risk-adjusted returns by refocusing on a highly concentrated portfolio of high-quality companies with deep value characteristics."
GoodHaven Capital Management's October 2025 investor presentation highlights its transition under sole portfolio manager Larry Pitkowsky ('GoodHaven 2.0' starting late 2019). Backed by the Markel Group as a strategic minority partner, the firm currently manages approximately $410 million in assets. Its flagship GoodHaven Fund (GOODX) employs a highly concentrated value strategy consisting of 20 holdings, with 65.6% of the portfolio in the top 10 positions (led by Berkshire Hathaway, TerraVest Industries, Alphabet, and Exor NV). The fund's investments are organized around key secular themes: Advertising & Social Media, Financials, Industrials/Housing, and Oil & Gas & Services. Over the 3-year and 5-year periods ending September 30, 2025, the fund achieved top-tier Morningstar percentile rankings (top 8% and top 3% in its peer group respectively), reflecting the success of its upgraded, high-conviction quality business focus.
