CONTRIBUTORS TO PERFORMANCE From a sector perspective, an overweight exposure and stock selection in Consumer Staples, as well as stock selection in Communication Services, contributed positively to relative performance. An underweight exposure and stock selection in Information Technology and lack of exposure to the worst performing Energy sector also contributed. At a regional level, stock selection in the United States and Japan contributed positively to relative performance. Cash weighting in the portfolio contributed positively to relative performance with the benchmark down significantly during the period. The largest active contributors were: Omnicom, Procter & Gamble, Seven & I, and PepsiCo. PepsiCo, a global consumer products company boasting some of the world s best-known brands: Pepsi, Frito Lay, Tropicana, Quaker and Gatorade. Recent business performance has improved for Pepsi driven by an improvement in the North American Beverage unit which is suffering from weaker volume growth relative to Coke following Coke s bottler refranchising efforts which coincided with a lot of marketing and promotional activity. Pepsi has responded and performance has improved while at the same time regions outside the U.S. are doing well as is their Frito Lay business. We also believe Pepsi along with other less economically sensitive stocks were weak earlier in the year when economic growth expectations were high and the impact on valuations of higher rates were deemed to be relatively negative for these types of companies. As market concerns over growth have increased it looks as though more defensive stocks have generally done better including Pepsi. DETRACTORS FROM PERFORMANCE From a sector perspective, stock selection in Industrials detracted slightly from relative performance. At a regional level, stock selection in Hong Kong and Sweden detracted from relative performance. The largest detractors included: W.W. Grainger, H&M, Samsonite and CK Hutchison. Samsonite s Q3 results were weaker compared to recent trends due to challenged consumer sentiment in Asia and North America. Our long-term view of the business has not changed and we view the current valuation as attractive. CK Hutchison Holdings (CKHH) share price has been hit due to broad market declines, and also due to negative sentiment related to weakness in the British Pound and concern about the pace of improvement in its European telecom segment. We believe CKHH s underlying business offers good relative stability in a turbulent economic environment, and view the current valuation as very attractive. MARKET OUTLOOK The team has a long history of careful investing. The team tries to be careful about the businesses they buy and the prices they pay, and at times hold cash when prices seem excessive across the board. Sometimes, as in 2017, being careful in these ways proves detrimental to short-term returns. In welcome contrast, it paid to be careful in 2018, particularly in the fourth quarter. The team welcomes the recent market volatility, as they believe this may further offer opportunities to own great businesses at attractive prices.
