We share everything you need to know today, while making sure our library is kept accurate. If you see something that doesn’t seem up to date, please let us know by emailing us at [email protected]. As is common in the media industry, Brides editors and writers are sometimes provided with complimentary products or visits to properties for review purposes. While it does not influence our coverage, Brides believes in full disclosure of all potential conflicts of interest. This disclosure is present in any articles where applicable. Our product reviews are independent and based on research and product testing. If you visit links within our content, we may receive commissions from your purchases, but we never receive any compensation or consideration for the content of our recommendations. Fact Checking. Our writers confirm all information and data gathered for all articles, including news. We consult relevant, diverse, qualified sources to ensure we’re providing proper context and background to the reader.

If you have noticed an issue you would like to bring to our attention, please let us know by emailing [email protected]. Corrections. Our editorial teams are committed to telling readers whenever a factual error has been made on a news story at the time of publication. We will correct the error as quickly as possible and alert readers to the correction. All corrections will be clearly labeled as such, and will include what was changed and when. When an article is factually correct, but the language is not as clear or detailed as necessary, the story may be updated without an editor’s note.

We rely on current and reputable primary sources, such as expert interviews, government organizations, and professional and academic institutions.

In the rare instance where an unnamed source is used, we will disclose to readers the reason behind the anonymity and provide necessary context. A cornerstone of our reporting and sourcing is to consider often overlooked perspectives from diverse communities, including BIPOC and LGBTQ+. Our content strives to serve all communities.

  • Evermore Global Value Fund Portfolio Commentary: 4Th Quarter 2019
    Evermore Global Value Fund Portfolio Commentary: 4th Quarter 2019 Dear Shareholder, In stark contrast to 2018, the fourth quarter of 2019 ended on a strong note as trade tensions between the U.S. and China eased once again. The so-called Phase One trade deal halted the previously announced increased U.S.-imposed tariffs on China that were set to go into effect in mid-December. At the same time, central banks across the globe continued to pursue policies to stimulate their respective economies rather than raising interest rates. For example, both the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and ECB expanded their balance sheets and the Fed cut interest rates once again. As a result of largely positive economic data, global markets posted a strong quarter and year, as did the Evermore Global Value Fund (the “Fund’). For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019, Institutional Class shares of the Evermore Global Value Fund (the “Fund”) were up 10.24% and 25.41%, respectively. The chart below shows performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares (“EVGIX”), the HFRX Event Driven Index (“HFRX ED”), the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA (“MSCI ACWI ex USA”), the MSCI All Country World Index (“MSCI ACWI”), and the Morningstar World Small/Mid Stock Category Average for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019. Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2019 30.00% 26.60% 26.49% 25.41% 25.00% 21.51% 20.00% 15.00% 10.24% 9.96% 9.72% 8.95% 10.00% 8.92% 5.45% 5.00% 0.00% QE 12/31/19 YE 12/31/19 EVGIX HFRX ED MSCI ACWI MSCI ACWI ex USA Morningstar World Small/Mid Stock Category Average Morningstar World Stock Category Average represents an average of all the funds in the Morningstar World Stock Category.

    Evermore Global Value Fund A Letter from the Portfolio Manager “Europe has shown it is able to break new ground in a special situation. Exceptional situations require exceptional measures.”– Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany on passing the largest European Union stimulus package in history Dear Shareholder: Before I get started with my review of 2020, I would like to wish you all the best for a happy, safe, healthy, and prosperous New Year. We have all experienced one of the most challenging periods of our lives and I am certain you will join me in looking forward to 2021 bringing improved health and financial security to all, but especially to David Marcus those individuals who are most vulnerable. Portfolio Manager 2020 – what a year! As the year kicked off, we saw sheer panic from all the unknowns about the COVID-19 virus and its ultimate impact. This created substantial volatility in the global markets. By March, we were routinely seeing days when the U.S. and international indices were down anywhere from 3 %, 5%, even 10% or more . And then, the stimulus started. I recently saw a report that indicated a historic $20 trillion of total quantitative easing was unleashed by global central banks in 2020, which pushed interest rates lower and injected record levels of liquidity into the markets. This unprecedented policy easing stabilized financial markets and brought the most accommodative financial conditions on record, which drove the rapid, but inconsistent, global recovery in the second half of 2020. The Work-From-Home stocks became all the rage. Value investors gave clipped cheers as they thought value was back ..

  • Shareholder Letter
    Page 1 of 11 IAC Q4 2016 Shareholder Letter February 1, 2017 Dear Shareholders, A few weeks ago, we gathered the top executives of all IAC operating businesses to talk about the future of the company, which was the first time we’ve assembled everyone in person in nearly a decade. The autonomy of our businesses is paramount, so we try not to disturb the operators too frequently. Plus, shortly after we last assembled, we ended up spinning most of those companies out of IAC in a four-way spin-off – and dispersed most of those people with them (incidentally, those four companies are now worth a combined $8.5 billion outside of IAC). I know I’ll disappoint some shareholders, who are eager for another IAC spin-off, by failing to confirm a pattern here; executive assembly need not lead to company disassembly. But looking back at the situation at that time, we can draw some analogies to today. After we completed those spin-offs, our first full year as a smaller IAC looked remarkably similar to IAC excluding Match Group today. Shareholders were so unenthused by what remained in IAC after the spinoffs that they affectionately dubbed it “the stub” – a moniker which has recently resurfaced to describe everything in IAC except our 83% stake in Match Group. Our cash balance at the end of 2009 was $1.7 billion and we had just finished the year with $167 million of Adjusted EBITDA, down 21% from the prior year. 2009 included our first and only quarter with negative OIBA (Operating Income Before Amortization, our key operating metric at the time) on a fully consolidated basis.
