Moody's Corporation - June 2026
“It was an unusual quarter from a performance attribution perspective. Information Technology (IT) was the only sector in the Index to outperform the Index, accounting for two-thirds of its total gain. The Fund’s entire 156bps shortfall relative to the Index could be attributed either to weak stock selection in IT, which detracted 279bps, or to weak stock selection in Financials, which cost an additional 227bps. Somehow, all 11 of our holdings classified as Financials, including Visa and Mastercard , which we view as digital railroads, and MSCI , Moody’s , and S&P Global , which we view as business services, detracted from our relative returns during the quarter.”
