“We continue to be patient with a small number of holdings where the securities trade at major discounts to intrinsic value but where board and management are executing well at both a business and capital allocation level. Put Avation PLC, Laurent Perrier and Compagnie de L’Odet in this category. Higher levels of individual security volatility – to the benefit of our largest holding Virtu Financial – served up an opportunity to acquire an archetypal “Peter Lynch/Victor Kiam” business2 in the latest quarter.”

“we initiated new GardenSM positions in Virtu Financial, Murphy USA and USA Rare Earth. Virtu Financial is a technology-enabled market maker and execution services provider. We believe it has a strong franchise built on market structure expertise, a low-risk trading model and a scalable platform spanning equities, ETFs, futures, foreign exchange, options and crypto. We initiated a GardenSM position and later elevated it to a CropSM position as our conviction increased.”
