| 2025 Q4 | Feb 2, 2026 | Alluvial Capital Management | 0.0% | 41.2% | CRAW, EAC, FTLF, GTX, IFOS, MBR.L, MDR, NLOP, SLVM, TLN | Buybacks, dividends, Europe, industrials, materials, small caps, Telecommunications, value | The fund earned returns from boring companies in defensive industries using plain vanilla value investing principles while ignoring the market's shiny objects. The portfolio represents a collection of good quality, deeply undervalued companies trading at significant discounts to intrinsic value. Multiple portfolio companies executed aggressive share repurchase programs including Zegona with €200 million reserved for buybacks, Garrett Motion repurchasing 9% of shares, and McBride implementing an aggressive share repurchase plan. These capital return programs drove significant stock price appreciation. Several holdings initiated or resumed dividend payments as part of capital return strategies. Garrett Motion initiated a dividend and committed to returning 75% of free cash flow to shareholders, while McBride reinitiated its dividend alongside share buybacks. The fund initiated a position in Itafos, a phosphate fertilizer producer, based on structural undersupply dynamics. American phosphate production has declined by more than half since 1980, Florida reserves are dwindling, and China is reducing exports to ensure domestic availability for agriculture and lithium battery production. The fund purchased Sylvamo Corp, a manufacturer of uncoated freesheet paper, facing short-term headwinds from expiring supply agreements and weak European demand. Industry supply reduction from mill conversions and closures should support pricing recovery as the company invests in South Carolina capacity expansion. Net Lease Office Properties continues its liquidation process with multiple property sales and large distributions to shareholders. While recent sale prices have been underwhelming, the current share price represents a large discount to remaining property values with liquidation expected to complete by end of 2026. | MCDIF SLVM NLOP MCB LN GTX CRAWA ZEG LN |
