Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund Jason Wolf, Ryan Dobratz | “With respect to the Fund's international holdings, Savills plc (Savills) was increased during the quarter. Also a long-time holding in the Fund, Savills is a U.K.-based real estate services company with a diversified business offering across brokerage, advisory, property management, and investment management on a global basis. The company is especially well-known for its conservative approach, having been in business since 1855, as well as its leading positions within the U.K. commercial and prime residential markets, as well as key markets in the Asia-Pacific region. Close followers of Savills might note the company's recent challenges in further scaling the business in North America. However, Savills recently announced a transaction that those same followers would likely recognize as an incredibly strategic fit: a combination with Eastdil Secured—a privately-held real estate capital markets business with a leading position in large-scale real estate transactions and debt advisory, particularly within major U.S. markets. As a result, the go forward entity will be very well placed, in Fund Management's view, with a strong financial position, resilient mix of recurring and transactional revenues, and well-designed incentives. In addition, the combined platform will likely realize cost efficiencies alongside enhanced prospects to win highly coveted global mandates, although such prospects don't seem to be factored into Savills' common stock. In fact, the shares imply a 40-50% discount to most comps, a level that is unlikely to persist following the anticipated closing of the deal later this year, in our opinion.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 17, 2026 | View Pitch |
