Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"Small-cap value rotation accelerated in Q3 as Fed rate cuts and investor neglect created opportunities. Portfolio outperformed with 9.83% gains versus benchmark's 9.63%."

Executive Summary

Rewey Asset Management's SMID Composite gained 9.83% in Q3 2024, outperforming the Russell 2500 Value index's 9.63% return. The manager attributes outperformance to a rotation into small and mid-cap value stocks driven by Fed rate cuts and investor neglect. The Fed delivered a 50 basis point cut in September with projections for rates to fall to 4.4% by year-end and 3.4% in 2025. The equal-weighted S&P 500 outperformed the cap-weighted index 9.59% versus 5.89%, as the Magnificent 7 posted only 1.68% gains while the remaining 493 stocks delivered 7.85%. The manager emphasizes active selection over ETFs, noting that 666 of 1871 securities in the Russell 2500 Value index have negative earnings. Portfolio highlights include Lifeway Foods gaining 103% on strong earnings and a takeover bid, while Intest declined 26% on semiconductor equipment slowdown. The manager maintains conviction in undervalued positions like Kyndryl, seeing 94% upside potential. With 2.5% cash and concentrated holdings focused on financial strength, growth ability, and discounted valuations, the strategy is positioned for continued outperformance as the small-cap rotation accelerates.
