“Our best-performing sectors were Industrials, Financials and Consumer Discretionary, in that order, all driven by stock selection. Within Industrials, Willscot (WSC), our largest position in the Fund, continues to deliver outstanding results and stock appreciation. WillScott has dominant share in a fragmented market with a durable, recurringrevenue, rental business model. Although we have taken some profits, we continue to believe their fundamentals will hold up in a recessionary scenario and this is still our largest position.”
