“Grubhub (GRUB) – Grubhub landed just outside the top 5 contributors with a contribution of 45 basis points. GRUB has been a volatile stock to say the least but one we have stuck with since our initial purchase in March of 2017 at $33.50. From the end of 2017 through November of last year, we have been net sellers due to near-term valuation concerns and maintaining target position sizing due to stock appreciation. We think the risk/reward on Grubhub has become compelling again and we are net buyers.”
