Explanatory Note
We recently reduced our position in Tecumseh Products Company. With the appreciation in Tecumseh’s stock over the past several months, our investment grew to over 10% of our assets under management. Our investments typically range from 2% to 5%, and this is what our clients expect in terms of portfolio diversification. Tecumseh remains one of our top three holdings and we look forward to being long-term shareholders and participating in the company’s turnaround, albeit in a more appropriately sized investment in relation to our assets under management. We are gratified that the company’s brand is enjoying renewed appreciation and that its R&D efforts are beginning to win back, as well as gain, new business.
