Capital Allocation Contributions

Capital allocation decisions such as repurchasing shares and restructuring debt have been laudable. Collectively, of the 55 companies across the three Funds, roughly half have added value by buying back undervalued shares over the last year. Management teams at ACS in Europe, Cemex in Mexico, and Level(3) and Quicksilver in the U.S., have improved their balance sheets by successfully restructuring debt, extending maturities, and/or negotiating favorable covenants. Conversely, several companies with strong balance sheets such as Accor, DIRECTV, Disney, Cheung Kong, Ferrovial, and Henderson, locked in historically low interest rates by issuing cheap long-dated debt.
