"The Longleaf Partners Global Fund returned 10.50% in 2Q25, slightly trailing the benchmark but offering strong margin of safety with a P/V in the high-50s% and active management addressing market dislocations."
The Longleaf Partners Global Fund delivered a 10.50% return in the second quarter of 2025, bringing its year-to-date (YTD) return to 8.06% and trailing its FTSE Developed benchmark. Despite slightly lagging the broader market, management remains confident in the high quality and significant undervaluation of the portfolio, which currently features an attractive price-to-value (P/V) ratio in the high-50s% and a price-to-free cash flow (P/FCF) multiple below 10x. During the quarter, the fund navigated a speculative market rally characterized by meme stocks and indexing trends by focusing on mispriced, stock-specific opportunities. Key themes guiding the portfolio include navigating potential tariff impacts (with holdings like Mattel, PVH, and FedEx taking active steps), healthcare policy uncertainty under the new administration ("RFK-care"), and energy sector volatility. Notable positive contributors during the quarter included French media company Canal+, Irish sports nutrition firm Glanbia, and French publisher Louis Hachette. Conversely, performance was dragged down by Kraft Heinz, Regeneron, and FedEx. Portfolio activity was robust, with the initiation of four new positions (including PVH and Philips) and the total exit of four holdings (Angi, Affiliated Managers Group, Reckitt Benckiser, and Eurofins) to redeploy capital into higher-margin-of-safety opportunities.
