"Tweedy, Browne captured solid absolute returns in Q2 2025 led by defense aerospace holdings, and is aggressively deploying capital into attractively discounted European and Japanese SMID-cap value stocks while remaining cautious on expensive US indices."
In Q2 2025, global equity markets rebounded strongly from early-April tariff anxieties to register positive quarters. Tweedy, Browne's funds achieved solid absolute returns between 5.09% and 12.02%, with unhedged funds outperforming due to USD weakness. Top drivers included global aerospace and defense holdings, alongside banking groups. Detractors were led by healthcare names, notably Roche and Novartis. The firm initiated strategic new SMID-cap positions in Europe and Japan (including Azelis Group and Nakanishi) while trimming long-term winners like BAE Systems and Safran. Crucially, the manager filed for SEC exemptive relief to create tax-efficient ETF share classes. Broad market outlook remains cautious on rich multiples, yet highly bullish on the valuation gap offered by European and Japanese SMID value stocks.
