White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (NYSE:WTM) – We believe the relative underperformance of WTM in 4Q reflected dovish comments from the Fed and a rotation into more aggressive stocks. During the quarter, WTM launched a private investment fund led by John Daly, who founded Alleghany Capital (since Berkshire Hathaway acquired Alleghany and no longer needed a separate Alleghany Capital), We have confidence in management’s ability to increase book value per share over time, through both conservative underwriting and portfolio changes.”
