"Third Avenue Value Fund delivered a strong 11.85% return in Q3 2025, utilizing its classic contrarian approach to exit fully valued 'sunshine' names and fund new investments in deeply discounted assets facing temporary headwinds."
In Q3 2025, the Third Avenue Value Fund outperformed its benchmarks with an 11.85% return. Gains were primarily led by mining companies, including Capstone Copper, Lundin Mining, and Warrior Met Coal. The commentary outlines the fund's philosophical stance against macro-prognostication, detailing why predicting market prices from top-down economic data is mathematically flawed. Highlighting their 'buying grey clouds, selling sunshine' approach, the fund rotated capital out of fully valued positions like Old Republic and Deutsche Bank to establish new positions in cyclically depressed or transforming businesses, specifically Boise Cascade, Rogers Corp., and Ayala Corp. Cash ended the quarter at 6.10%.
