"The Diamond Hill International Strategy returned 11.68% (net) in Q2 2025, slightly lagging its benchmark. The firm leveraged market volatility to add three high-conviction positions in Ireland, India, and Austria while consolidating out of six fully-valued or lower-conviction names."
During 2Q25, the Diamond Hill International Strategy returned 11.68% net of fees, slightly underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex-US Index, which returned 12.03%. Markets experienced volatility due to geopolitical tensions (Israel-Iran) and trade/tariff anxieties (Liberation Day), but rebounded as proposed tariffs were delayed or adjusted downwards. The portfolio benefited from strong performance in consumer staples and industrials, plus regional strength in Japan and France. Key positive contributors included TSMC, Tesco, and Mitsubishi Shokuhin (which announced a buyout). Conversely, Bunzl, Alibaba, and Gerresheimer detracted. Portfolio activity was high: three new positions were initiated (Allied Irish Bank, Hindustan Aeronautics, BAWAG Bank) and six were exited (Mitsubishi Shokuhin, UCB, Capstone Copper, Prosus, Arcos Dorados, Nestlé) to reallocate capital into higher-conviction holdings.
