Recently, the company released its Q1 2019 Investor Letter, which you can download below.

Among other things in the letter, Andrew Brown wrote:

“We view the March quarter as a “relief rally” where central bank liquidity has once again reduced equity volatility. In turn, this has encouraged more aggressive speculation and a re-rating of back to (and above) September 2018 levels. With S&P500 at ~17x forward earnings –which are now generally in a downward revision phase –and with very optimistic looking +11% estimates for FY 2020, we believe a real “divergence” opportunity between “value” and “speculative growth” exists, and are positioned accordingly.”
