"Cedar Grove navigated a painful -12.7% net decline in Q3 2026, pulling year-to-date performance to -26.2% net of fees as elevated Treasury yields pressured small-cap equities. Viewing the sharp valuation compression as disconnected from resilient business fundamentals, the fund raised gross leverage to 106% and selectively added to core holdings."
Cedar Grove Capital Management employs a fundamental, long-term multi-strategy approach focused on owning high-conviction companies with durable tailwinds and resilient balance sheets trading at significant discounts to intrinsic value. In the third quarter of 2026, the strategy returned -12.7% net of fees, bringing year-to-date net performance to -26.2%, trailing the Russell 2000 and broader indices. Performance was primarily hindered by macro-driven multiple contraction following a sharp rise in the 10-year Treasury yield above 5%, alongside pronounced weakness in small-cap market breadth. Despite operational beats and raised guidance across core holdings, market prices declined substantially. Key risks center on persistent inflation pressures, elevated financing costs, and broader consumer discretionary softening. In response to what the manager perceives as an increasingly target-rich environment, portfolio positioning was shifted by closing non-performing special situations, taking profits on short-term rebounds, and expanding gross leverage to 106% across thirteen net long holdings.
