"The Fund delivered strong gains in Q2 2025, driven by deep-value holdings and currency tailwinds, and expanded its exposure to high-conviction special situations like Lendlease and Abacus Storage."
The Third Avenue International Real Estate Value Fund reported a strong performance for the second quarter of 2025, generating a return of +15.29% (after fees), outperforming its benchmark, the FTSE/EPRA NAREIT Global ex-U.S. Index, which returned +15.07%. For the year-to-date period, the Fund returned +22.18%, driven by a 14% appreciation in underlying share prices, an 8% tailwind from the depreciation of the U.S. Dollar, and substantial outperformance in its deep-value Hong Kong-listed investments. The portfolio manager, Quentin Velleley, highlighted the Fund's strategic focus on 'deep value' opportunities—companies trading at more than a 30% discount to conservative net asset value (NAV) estimates with high-quality assets, low debt, and active catalysts for resource conversion. During the quarter, the Fund increased its position in Australian developer Lendlease, pointing to its ongoing business simplification strategy and asset sales as strong catalysts to unlock value. Additionally, the Fund benefited from the privatization of Japanese real estate company Aeon Mall, redirecting those proceeds to invest in Abacus Storage King. Looking forward, the manager remains constructive, emphasizing that non-U.S. real estate markets like Hong Kong offer compelling, uncorrelated return opportunities amidst attractive valuation discounts.
