"Riverwater's Sustainable Value Strategy faced headwind from a speculative market shift in Q2 2025 but capitalized on pullbacks to buy high-quality compounders like Everus, Griffon, and MSA Safety at attractive valuations."
Executive Summary
The Sustainable Value Strategy underperformed the Russell 2500 Value Index in Q2 2025 due to adverse stock selection during a speculative, lower-quality market rally. Despite the quarter's setback, year-to-date performance remains slightly ahead of the benchmark. The portfolio adjusted its industrial sector underweight by adding to top-performing Everus Construction Group (ECG) and initiating new positions in Griffon Corp (GFF) and MSA Safety (MSA). Healthcare holding Exelixis (EXEL) was trimmed after strong stock momentum, while Limoneira (LMNR) was the top detractor following an inconclusive strategic review.
