| 2025 Q4 | Jan 30, 2026 | Moerus Capital Management LLC | 4.8% | 40.4% | 1200.HK, CMW.AX, DC.TO, DOUG, EXOR.MI, JEF, JSE.L, LTM, NTCO3.SA, STAN.L, TARS, TSGYO.IS, VAL, VALT.L, WED.TO | Banking, contrarian, emerging markets, international, Mining, Recovery, value, volatility | The Fund focuses on deeply discounted opportunities where overly pessimistic expectations are priced in, creating upside potential when outcomes prove merely benign. Examples include Valterra Platinum, Midland Holdings, and LATAM Airlines, all purchased when expectations were at their nadir. The manager believes there is less competition for deep value, out-of-favor opportunities due to attrition among value investors and style drift toward Growth strategies. Valterra Platinum, the world's largest producer of Platinum Group Metals, was purchased when expectations were rock-bottom due to EV adoption concerns. The platinum market entered its third consecutive year of supply deficit in 2025, with producers cutting higher-cost production and auto manufacturers walking back EV ambitions. Platinum prices surged from depressed levels, driving significant gains. LATAM Airlines Group was purchased in 2023 shortly after emerging from bankruptcy when stigma and pandemic effects repelled investors. The company had a much-improved financial profile, competitive position, and cost structure post-bankruptcy with meaningfully reduced debt and operating costs. Performance was driven by passenger volume recovery and impressive business results leading to increased profitability and share repurchases. Türkiye Sigorta was added in 2023 when general investor flight from Turkey occurred amid unorthodox economic policies and 85% inflation. The insurance environment was painful with dramatically rising claims costs, but created opportunity to invest in a high-quality business at heavily discounted prices. Performance improved as policies reset at higher prices and the Turkish Central Bank adopted orthodox monetary policy. Midland Holdings, the leading Hong Kong residential property broker, was purchased when shares had sunk to extremely depressed levels amid an ailing local residential market hurt by higher interest rates and economic issues. The company's cash made up roughly 70% of market cap at purchase, with nascent signs of improvement in the Hong Kong residential market exceeding minimal expectations. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 14, 2026 | Longleaf Partners Global Fund | 5.3% | 16.7% | ANGI, AVTR, BIO, CNH, CNX, DHER.DE, EXOR.MI, F, FI, GLAN.L, GRUMA.MX, IAC, JFC.PS, KHC, MAT, MGM, PHG, REGN, STLA, TIGO, UNH | Buybacks, FCF, global, Holdings, Media, Quality, value | The fund maintains a concentrated portfolio of undervalued stocks trading at low P/V ratios in the low-60s%. Management emphasizes finding defensive growers like consumer staples and timberland companies at better prices, similar to their successful positioning in 1999. They focus on companies with strong free cash flow generation and quality management partners. Multiple portfolio companies are actively repurchasing shares at attractive prices. MGM has repurchased over 40% of shares in five years, Glanbia added to buyback programs, and Exor executed efficient share repurchases via Dutch auction. The fund views these as value-creating capital allocation moves. Canal+ renewed exclusive UEFA Champions League rights for 2027-2031 at better economics than feared, reinforcing subscriber base quality. The company made operational progress across European and African platforms following the MultiChoice merger, though remains underfollowed as a French media company on London Stock Exchange. | AVTR BIO ANGI MGM KHC IAC TIGO GLB LN CAN LN |
