"Langdon's Canadian Smaller Companies Portfolio posted a strong 13.1% return in 2024, driven by stellar calendar-year runs in TerraVest and Aritzia, a new position in A&W Canada, and a transformative $250M USD transaction validating its core holding, Westaim."
Langdon Canadian Smaller Companies Portfolio completed Q4 2024 with a quarterly return of 2.8%, bringing the full-year 2024 return to 13.1%. The update places a major emphasis on company culture, illustrating this theme through the recent addition of A&W Canada, which possesses long management tenures and high insider ownership. Portfolio performance was driven on the upside by massive gains in TerraVest (+150%) and Aritzia (+95%) over the calendar year, while StorageVault acted as a key quarterly detractor due to macro-driven consumer slowdown. The portfolio highlights a major victory in Westaim, which announced a transformative $250M USD transaction with CC Capital, as well as the successful, highly profitable exit of Skyward Specialty Insurance.
