  • Longleaf Partners International Fund Commentary 2Q21
    July 2021 Longleaf Partners International Fund Commentary 2Q21 Longleaf Partners International Fund added 1.19% in the quarter and 8.00% year-to- date, trailing the MSCI EAFE Index’s 5.17% and 8.83% for the same periods. US markets continued the monetary liquidity fueled run to ever sillier valuation levels, while non-US lagged relatively. The majority of our holdings were positive in the quarter. The Fund’s exposure to China and Hong Kong (including Netherlands-listed Prosus, whose business is driven by the Chinese consumer) was the biggest geographic headwind. FX was a moderate contributor to the Fund, as well as the MSCI EAFE index. Despite relative underperformance, it was a solid period for value per share growth at our holdings. “Value” had a (we believe temporary) pullback vs. “growth” in the second quarter on the back of lower interest rates and various other factors. Over the last year, we have seen interest rate consensus go from “low rates forever” for most of 2020 to “rates are definitely going up” in February/March of 2021 to what now feels like magical goldilocks thinking for growth stocks in the 1-2% US 10-year range. While we cannot predict precisely what rates will do in the near term, we welcome increased volatility on this all- Average Annual Total Returns for the Longleaf Partners International Fund (6/30/21): Since Inception (10/26/98): 7.45%, Ten Year: 4.50%, Five Year: 10.64%, One Year: 34.82%.

  • GP Investments
    1 GP Investments Earnings Release Fourth Quarter 2020 Earnings Release 2Q18 2 2020 highlights March 31, 2021 – This release reports the 4Q20 and full-year results of GP Investments, Ltd. (‘GP’) [B3: GPIV33], a leader in private equity and alternative investments. 2020 was a challenging year worldwide; and for GP Investments this was no different. At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, most of the companies in GP’s portfolio that have physical premises had to close facilities or operate under restrictions. Brick-and-mortar stores had to be closed, restaurants had to depend mostly on delivery and take-out, and many businesses had to be reinvented fast. In March, GP moved 100% of its team members, across all its offices, to remote working, following procedures in its Business Continuity Plan. The transition to a work-at-home model was seamless, with no interruptions in our activities, and we have continued to leverage multiple digital technologies to enable our teamwork. The results reported by GP Investments in 2020 reflected the volatility of the financial markets, and the economic impacts of the pandemic. In the 4th quarter of 2020, GP posted net income of USD 33.8 million, which was driven by increases in the share prices of our listed companies – primarily Centauro – as well as the positive impact of the temporary BRL appreciation. Nevertheless, for the full year, mark-to-market adjustments in the companies in the portfolio have translated into significant net unrealized losses, which together with the rapid devaluation of the Brazilian Real have led to a total net loss of USD (91.8) million in 2020.

  • Annual Report and Accounts 2017 HVPE Annual Report and Accounts 2017 Accounts and Report Annual HVPE
    Annual Report and Accounts 2017 HVPE Annual Report and Accounts 2017 US Building Long-term Wealth by Investing in Private Companies Why Private Markets? Globally, the opportunity set in private companies greatly exceeds that available in the listed markets. The private equity industry has grown steadily in recent years but is still viewed by many investors as an alternative asset class. Historically, private equity has delivered strong returns, outperforming listed equity over the long-term1. Why HVPE? HarbourVest Global Private Equity (“HVPE”) is a London listed, FTSE 250 private equity investment company with assets of nearly $1.5bn. HVPE is managed by HarbourVest, an independent global private markets investment specialist with 35 years of experience2. In the five years ending 31 January 2017, HVPE has achieved a return on opening net assets of 61.7%, implying a compound annual growth rate of 10.1% in US dollar terms (equivalent to 15.2% in GBP). Why Now? A growing number of mainstream investment managers are beginning to focus on the opportunities available in private companies. Meanwhile, established specialist funds such as HVPE have been delivering strong returns for many years while the shares have been trading at a discount to the value of their assets. 1 The median US private equity fund returned 13.9% annually over the 20 years to 30 September 2016, compared to 7.9% for the S&P 500 on a total return basis.
