"The Weitz Multi Cap Equity Fund weathered a volatile quarter dominated by tariff anxieties and AI-driven rotations, keeping activity light while selectively building long-term compounder positions."
In the second quarter of 2025, the Weitz Multi Cap Equity Fund navigated a rollercoaster market environment heavily influenced by macroeconomic headlines. Fears surrounding tariff policy proposals on April 2nd and subsequent retaliatory penalties initially sent equity markets lower. However, an administrative delay and implementation pause offered a temporary reprieve, allowing country-by-country negotiations to take place and restoring calm. With tariff concerns temporarily shelved, investors rotated back into technology and artificial intelligence, fueling the renewed 'AI Trade.' Notable positive contributors for the quarter included HEICO Corporation, whose flight services group continued to grow despite flat post-Covid travel volume recovery, and Liberty Broadband, which rose following Charter Communications' merger announcement with Cox Communications. Alphabet and Meta Platforms also drove performance, riding the AI wave. On the downside, detractors included Berkshire Hathaway, which gave back some safe-haven gains, and CarMax, as the healing process in the U.S. used car market progressed slower than expected. Portfolio activity was relatively light, with the managers adding modestly to life sciences companies Bio-Techne and Danaher, while trimming positions in Meta, CarMax, ACI Worldwide, and Sirius XM Holdings to fund these moves.
