"Tweedy, Browne reports positive absolute returns for Q3, trailing growth-driven benchmarks but posting strong YTD performance. The managers continue to rotate capital from fully-valued holdings into highly-discounted European and Japanese equities while anticipating potential SEC approval for ETF share classes."
During Q3 2025, global equity markets continued to reach record highs, but Tweedy, Browne's mutual funds underperformed their respective benchmarks due to market favor heavily tilting toward a narrow group of large, fast-growing growth stocks. Despite this quarterly lag, year-to-date returns remained strong, ranging between 15.98% (Value Fund) and 23.17% (International Value Fund II). The managers highlight a robust resurgence in European and Japanese equities, noting that the persistent valuation gap between US and non-US equities is beginning to garner recognition. Portfolio activity remained highly disciplined, characterized by trimming fully-valued holdings like BAE Systems and Rheinmetall and initiating or adding to high-conviction value plays like Berkeley Group, Breedon Group, Sodexo, and Santec Holdings. Structurally, the firm reported progress on its application for SEC exemptive relief to launch ETF share classes, viewing it as a major opportunity to offer more tax-efficient options to shareholders.
