“We also trimmed our holdings in Polaris Inc., Gentex Corp. and Somnigroup International Inc. (formerly Tempur Sealy International Inc.) before liquidating the positions. Polaris was sold as it no longer met the conditions of our cautious approach to balance sheet resilience. While we expect Gentex to retain, if not expand, its dominant market position in what we view as a long-term growth opportunity, the company is in the eye of the storm from a supply-chain standpoint. Our decision to sell the stock was premised on the difficulty of quantifying the risks linked to this level of macro disruption.”
