"The London Company Income Equity portfolio returned 4.5% net in Q2 2025, outperforming its value benchmark. Management is adopting a cautious posture due to rising tariff risks and decelerating growth, shifting capital into high-quality and defensive positions."
Executive Summary
The London Company Income Equity portfolio posted a net return of 4.5% during the second quarter, outperforming the Russell 1000 Value Index's 3.8% return. Sector allocation (underweight Health Care, overweight IT) acted as a major performance driver. Key changes in the portfolio included initiating a new position in Chubb (CB), adding to existing weakness in Chevron (CVX), Dominion Energy (D), Corning (GLW), and Norfolk Southern (NSC), while trimming Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) and Philip Morris (PM) on strength. Due to intensifying competitive pressures and macro challenges, Comcast (CMCSA) and United Parcel Service (UPS) were completely exited. Looking ahead, management expects heightened uncertainty around tariffs and decelerating growth, positioning the portfolio conservatively in high-quality, low-volatility holdings with robust shareholder yields.
