Background
- At Southeastern's outset in 1975, portfolios were US focused but often included a limited number of ADRs and Canadian companies.
- In the late 1990s, portfolios held up to 30% of assets in non-US securities when opportunities were abundant while most US stocks did not meet Southeastern's required discount.
- Southeastern employees seeded Longleaf Partners International Fund in 1998 to take advantage of compelling non-US investments.
- In 2000, a client asked Southeastern to combine the US and non-US portfolios. Global separate accounts were the result.
Global Portfolio Information
- Portfolios normally contain 18-22 securities, a subset of those in US and non-US portfolios.
- Sector and industry weightings are a by-product of bottom-up investment decisions.
- Most investments have at least $3 billion USD market capitalization given our asset size and concentrated approach.
- Country weightings are a by-product of the location of qualifying investments. Generally portfolios will have no less than 30% and no more than 70% in either US or non-US companies.
- We do not hedge currency exposure.
- Cash is the by-product of a lack of qualifying investment opportunities.
