"Langdon delivered a strong 19.8% return in 2024, bolstered by a landmark $250M strategic deal for top-holding Westaim, while selectively buying the dip in high-conviction decliners like Hypoport."
Langdon Global Smaller Companies Portfolio reported a 3.6% return for Q4 2024 and 19.8% for the full year 2024. The quarter's primary highlight was a transformative transaction for major holding Westaim, where CC Capital will invest $250M USD, setting up a transition to an earnings-based valuation model and creating an insurance-led asset management firm. Despite headwinds in the consumer sector that impacted holdings Royal Unibrew and FeverTree, Langdon maintains high conviction in these businesses' balance sheets and margin recovery. The fund proactively reduced its consumer allocation to 23% while using a 41% drawdown in Hypoport to increase its position, confident in the platform's robust fundamental projections for 2024 and 2025.
