"Weitz Multi Cap Equity Fund underperformed in 3Q 2025 due to a headwind from avoiding hyped AI chipmakers, but managers are aggressively utilizing market volatility to buy resilient services firms at value prices."
The Multi Cap Equity Fund underperformed the Bloomberg 3000 Index in 3Q 2025, returning +0.29% compared to the index's +8.25%. Underperformance was driven by a relative performance headwind from staying on the sidelines of pure-play AI chipmakers (such as Nvidia and Broadcom), combined with earnings-related sell-offs in major holdings Liberty Broadband and Charter. However, the managers maintain strong conviction in their value-oriented discipline. They highlighted Alphabet and Perimeter Solutions as top contributors and detailed new positions in Accenture and CDW, which are viewed as undervalued vehicles for AI integration. They also actively added to Charter and LKQ during earnings weakness while trimming winners like CoStar, Visa, and Mastercard.
