"SouthernSun delivered an 11.52% net return in 3Q2025, driven by strong performance in Brink's and Modine Manufacturing, while initiating a new position in Crane NXT."
SouthernSun's 3Q2025 Small Cap Investment Commentary discusses the 'Season of Divergences' in the economy and argues strongly for the necessity of active management amid a passive 'investment monoculture.'

Top contributors for the quarter included Brink's Company (BCO) and Modine Manufacturing Company (MOD). Key detractors included Darling Ingredients (DAR) and Stepan Company (SCL). The fund initiated a new position in Crane NXT (CXT), citing its niche dominance in security and authentication technologies.
