The letter also noted that a shift in the calendar end date would have improved returns by over 4%, highlighting the unpredictable nature of concentrated value investing. The portfolio is concentrated in 10 names, and the dividend yield is approximately 6%. Please review the Partnership’s top five holdings to gain insights into their key selections for 2025.

Legacy Ridge Capital Management stated the following regarding Polaris Inc. (NYSE:PII) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Most of the names we’ve owned for several years have had decent performance, and despite earnings and dividends growing over that period most have also benefited from a moderate re-rating, thus narrowing the margin of safety. Equally distributing excess cash across our current portfolio doesn’t appeal to us at this very moment, but circumstances can change quickly and we’ve had numerous bouts of idiosyncratic volatility in owned or followed names in the recent past. And sitting on our ass(ets)—as Munger would say— doesn’t mean we’ve quit trying to find great opportunities. We’re finding new ideas we think are cheap, we just aren’t finding as many. Rather than make a new idea a 15%+ position in an effort to deploy more of our cash, which would make us uncomfortable, we initially invest 10% or less.

Our investment in Polaris Inc. (NYSE:PII) last summer is a great example. Deploying 22% of our cash balance, we purchased a 7% position when the stock had over a 7% dividend yield and was trading at multi-year lows. We weren’t forced to sell good value in order to purchase great value, which made the decision much easier and allowed us to be more opportunistic.”
