Cove Street Capital made the following comment about Global Indemnity Group, LLC (NYSE:GBLI) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“Global Indemnity Group, LLC (NYSE:GBLI) “held in there” as it remains one of the cheapest stocks that we own at 50% of book value. A gaggle of ex-Berkshire Hathaway insurance alums run the specialty insurer, but the biggest issue going forward is that the company is a partnership, not a C-Corp that limits its “buy-ability” to the institutional investor community. That also brings up the other risk: the Chairman is the voting control owner. We have mixed emotions about whether he is “stealing with us” or “stealing from us.” It is a classic value investment: we believe that the “value” creates a “margin of safety” that potentially compensates us for these issues. Our research suggests minimal downside with a target price nearly double current value.”
