They focus on stocks trading at attractive valuations while avoiding richly valued names, with their U.S. FSV strategy trading at more than double the free cash flow yield of the S&P 500. The strategy systematically rotates out of names that have increased in value and reinvests into less expensive stocks. The firm filters for high quality companies with stable cash flows and low debt levels. Their investment process excludes negative free cash flow companies and avoids those with high amounts of leverage while seeking fundamental stability. This quality focus has historically been smart but was a drag on returns in 2025 as unprofitable stocks outperformed significantly. The firm sees significant opportunity in small and mid-sized U.S. stocks, though selectivity is critical given the large number of unprofitable and heavily-indebted companies. Their small/mid strategy filters out negative free cash flow companies and high leverage names. The S&P 600 excludes many troubled names and has considerably outperformed the Russell 2000 over time. | View | |

The firm's strategies focus on finding attractively valued stocks where quality and value overlap, with their portfolios trading at significant discounts to benchmarks. Quality is a core focus of the firm's investment process, emphasizing cash flow stability and avoiding highly leveraged or unprofitable companies. The letter discusses how their strategies systematically filter out negative free cash flow companies and those with high debt levels while seeking fundamental stability. The letter identifies significant opportunities in small and mid-sized U.S. stocks, noting that avoiding high debt levels and money-losing businesses has historically been smart but was a drag on returns in 2025. The firm sees this as creating attractive entry points for quality small cap investing. | View | |

The S&P 500 is trading near record multiples with just 20 stocks accounting for over 50% of the market at a 120% premium to the rest. Historical analysis shows that rich starting valuations correlate with lower longer-term returns. Despite rich overall market valuations, many high quality stocks remain attractively valued. The firm's large cap strategy trades at a free cash flow yield more than double the S&P 500 and 60% above Russell 1000 Value. Value stocks significantly outperformed after the 2000 tech bubble when similar valuation disparities existed. Significant opportunities exist in smaller stocks where avoiding high debt levels and money-losing businesses has historically been smart but was an enormous drag on returns in 2025. Negative free cash flow stocks comprised 35% of Russell 2000 and rose 67% on average, demonstrating unusual market conditions. | View | |
