Quick Take
"Langdon Global Smaller Companies Portfolio posted a solid 10.5% return in Q2 2025, driven by M&A activity and portfolio optimization, including exiting slower-growth positions to target European opportunities."
Executive Summary
In Q2 2025, the Langdon Global Smaller Companies Portfolio achieved a return of 10.5%. Strong contributors included Johns Lyng Group, which announced potential take-private talks following a significant increase in position size by the fund, and Andlauer Healthcare Group, which was acquired by UPS. The fund fully exited its position in Auction Technology Group (ATG) due to moderating growth and a slower-than-expected pace of sector digitization. The manager remains constructive on long-term compounders like Topicus.com and CHAPTERS Group AG and continues to find attractive small-cap opportunities in Europe and the UK.
