Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"Tweedy, Browne achieved strong YTD gains through Q3 2025, driven by a long-overdue valuation catch-up in European and Japanese equities, while actively rotating capital into fresh mid-cap value opportunities."
Executive Summary
Tweedy, Browne Funds reported positive absolute returns for Q3 2025, though they lagged their growth-tilted benchmark indices during the quarter. YTD performance remains robust, driven by a strong resurgence in non-US equities, particularly in Europe and Japan, where the funds maintain historical overweight positions. The manager warns of record-high valuations in US markets (as seen in the CAPE-Shiller P/E and Buffett Indicator) and maintains that price and valuation matter immensely in a world of persistent inflation and normalized interest rates. Recent portfolio activity involved establishing new positions in UK homebuilder Berkeley Group, aggregates provider Breedon, and French facilities manager Sodexo, while trimming highly appreciated defense positions like BAE Systems and Rheinmetall. Structurally, the firm highlighted positive developments regarding their SEC application for ETF share classes, which could significantly boost tax efficiency.
