Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"The portfolio outperformed its benchmark in Q3 2025 with a 5.8% net return, driven by strong selection in tech-related holdings. The manager remains cautious on expensive market valuations, recycling capital out of lower-conviction names into resilient businesses like UNH and CMI."
Executive Summary
During Q3 2025, The London Company Income Equity portfolio returned 5.8% net (6.0% gross), outperforming the Russell 1000 Value Index return of 5.3%. Strong stock selection in tech-exposed holdings like Corning (GLW) and TE Connectivity (TEL) drove the outperformance, despite headwinds from quality and yield factors. The manager actively adjusted the portfolio by completely exiting Diageo (DEO), Nestle (NSGRY), and Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) due to lower conviction and execution risks. Proceeds were deployed into newly initiated positions in UnitedHealth Group (UNH) and Cummins (CMI), which offer defensive traits and structural growth advantages. Looking ahead, the manager remains cautious regarding rich valuations and macroeconomic uncertainties, reiterating their commitment to a disciplined Quality-at-a-Reasonable-Price (GARP) strategy.
