"The Mid Cap Strategy underperformed its benchmark in Q2 2025 with a 6.10% net return, using market volatility to establish new positions in Alaska Air and FTI Consulting while trimming underperforming names like Insperity."
In Q2 2025, Diamond Hill's Mid Cap Strategy posted a net return of 6.10%, trailing the Russell Midcap Index's gain of 8.53%. Performance was hindered by an underweight in the top-performing Information Technology sector and underperformance from healthcare and financial holdings. This was partially offset by strong relative performance within the Industrials and Utilities sectors. The fund initiated new positions in Alaska Air Group and FTI Consulting during tariff-driven pullbacks, while completely exiting its holdings in Insperity (on healthcare cost and AI disruption concerns) and Vail Resorts (to fund superior opportunities).
