"Diamond Hill International Strategy modestly trailed its index in Q3 2025 despite absolute gains, utilizing the quarter's volatility to deploy capital into seven new positions including gold-linked proxies and undervalued international compounders."
Executive Summary
During Q3 2025, the Diamond Hill International Strategy generated a return of 6.49% (net of fees), slightly lagging its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index, which returned 6.89%. Geographically, South Korea and US-classified international stocks contributed positively, while European holdings in the Netherlands and Germany detracted. At the security level, biotechnology company uniQure was the top contributor following positive clinical trial data, alongside Alibaba and TSMC. Conversely, HDFC Bank, Walmart de México, and Krones were primary detractors. The fund actively initiated seven new positions, focusing on gold-linked assets (Franco-Nevada, Agnico Eagle), Japanese industrials (Sumitomo Densetsu), and high-return emerging market-linked models (Itaúsa, Singapore Exchange, Wise). Management exited positions in Sandoz (reaching fair value), Big Yellow Group (UK bond yield risks), Boardwalk REIT, and ICON.
