"Tweedy, Browne delivered positive Q3 results but trailed benchmarks, warning that high US valuations warrant caution while finding highly attractive, shareholder-friendly value opportunities in Europe and Japan."
In Q3 2025, global equity markets achieved new highs, with the S&P 500 up 8.12% and MSCI EAFE up 4.77%. The Tweedy, Browne Funds generated positive absolute returns but trailed their benchmarks for the quarter, facing headwinds from a market favoring large, highly valued growth companies. Year-to-date, the funds achieved solid performance ranging from 15.98% to 23.17%, with the unhedged International Value Fund II leading. The managers highlight record valuation multiples in the US and make a compelling case for non-US equities (primarily Europe and Japan) due to a persistent valuation gap and shareholder-friendly corporate trends. Key portfolio additions included Berkeley Group, Breedon Group, Sodexo, and several Japanese mid-caps, while positions like BAE Systems and Rheinmetall were trimmed on valuation. Additionally, the firm noted positive developments regarding an SEC application for exemptive relief to launch tax-efficient ETF share classes.
