“Bread Financial hit new highs and is now up fourfold from its lows 2.5 years ago. As we wrote in our recent special commentary, this experience with Bread is a reminder that our companies can also experience price-to-earnings multiple expansion. During the quarter we reduced our shares owned in Bread by close to 50% and it has gone from being our largest position to barely a top five holding.”
