Diamond Hill Small Cap Fund Aaron Monroe | “Insperity provides human resources (HR) and business solutions primarily to US-based small- and mid-sized businesses. Shares were pressured in the quarter as higher-than-expected health care costs impacted the company's insurance book, and the company's worksite employee count grew at a tepid rate. Our confidence in the company's execution across multiple fronts — including its Workday partnership, ability to grow worksite employees, manage its health insurance book of business and improve margins — has increasingly weakened. Further, the potential for AI disruption is a longer-term risk to Insperity's worksite employee base. With these factors pressuring the share price and limited visibility into a meaningful turnaround over the course of our investment horizon, we exited our position during the quarter, redeploying the proceeds to more attractive risk-reward opportunities. BSD Analysis: Insperity remains one of the most resilient ways to play the U.S. SMB economy, offering outsourced HR, benefits, and compliance services that small firms struggle to handle alone. Its professional employer model creates sticky relationships and recurring fees, making customer churn extremely low. The wildcard is always healthcare claims — medical loss variability can swing margins even when the core business is fine. Over a full cycle, though, Insperity's pricing discipline and scale allow it to normalize those fluctuations. The company continues to add value through tech-enabled services while preserving the high-touch model clients appreciate. As regulation gets more complicated, SMBs increasingly turn to outsourced solutions rather than juggling point tools. Insperity isn't glamorous, but it's a quietly compounding services business in a category competitors can't easily commoditize.” | BEAR | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
