For example, we invested in Iridium Communications Inc. (IRDM), which operates satellites used for voice and data communication via handheld satellite phones and other transceivers. Iridium is developing the world’s first satellite-based global air traffic surveillance system, which we think has the potential for transformational improvements in flight safety, control and efficiencies. As of June 30, 2014, the stock was up nearly 40% since our initial investment in early May 2014.
