"Diamond Hill underperformed in Q3 2025 as AI sentiment drove narrow market gains. The fund is taking a cautious, active posture, purchasing high-quality, non-AI-hyped companies at attractive valuations."
During Q3 2025, Diamond Hill's Small-Mid Cap Strategy trailed the Russell 2500 Index due to underperformance in health care and real estate holdings. While AI-fueled tech sector optimism pushed indices to new highs, the fund remained disciplined, warning of above-average valuations and a bifurcated US consumer. The fund capitalized on market distortions to initiate five new positions (Toro Company, Equitable Holdings, Cooper Companies, Revvity, and Triumph Financial) funded by partial and full sales of several holdings (including Enovis, Broadridge, and Enstar Group).
