"The London Company Large Cap portfolio returned 6.2% net in Q3 2025, lagging the Russell 1000's 8.0% return due to headwinds facing quality-oriented factors. Despite high valuations and market speculation, the manager remains committed to its defensive, quality-first approach, exiting BRKR and initiating EQH."
During Q3 2025, the London Company Large Cap portfolio returned 6.3% gross (6.2% net) but underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000, which rose 8.0%. The relative underperformance was driven by factor headwinds as volatile, high-beta stocks led the market, and quality factors—which the portfolio emphasizes—lagged. Key positive contributors included Alphabet (GOOG), TE Connectivity (TEL), and NewMarket (NEU), while Fiserv (FI), Progressive (PGR), and Old Dominion Freight Line (ODFL) detracted. During the quarter, the fund exited Bruker Corporation (BRKR) due to structural headwinds and initiated a position in Equitable Holdings (EQH). The manager maintains a cautious outlook given high valuations and market concentration, emphasizing their commitment to a disciplined QARP strategy.
