Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"New TKO position capitalizes on sports media rights inflation from streaming competition. Exited Rentokil over execution failures."

Executive Summary

Cooper Investors Global Equities Fund returned 5.4% in Q3 2024, outperforming the benchmark by 2.7%. The portfolio benefited from strong performance in Frontier Communications, which received a takeover offer from Verizon at a 38% premium, and Eurofins Scientific, which demonstrated strong earnings growth as it transitions to a mature market leader. The fund established a new position in TKO Group Holdings, owner of UFC and WWE, capitalizing on the increasing value of sports media rights driven by competition between traditional broadcasters and streaming platforms. Alphabet declined despite strong operational performance due to regulatory concerns over antitrust rulings. The managers exited Rentokil due to poor execution on the Terminix acquisition. The portfolio maintains focus on companies with strong competitive moats, excellent management teams, and significant value latency. Key themes include fiber infrastructure buildouts, sports content monetization, and laboratory testing networks. The managers express confidence in their concentrated approach and long-term investment horizon.
