A large detractor to the Fund’s performance in the fourth quarter, media and education company Graham Holdings’ (NYSE:GHC) 16% decline took its 2015 return to -11%. The stock price was impacted by broader weakness in the media industry and for-profit education where the regulatory and economic environment continued to be challenging. In the quarter, Graham Holdings’ Kaplan business reported worse U.S. student trends, and margins and revenue growth declined.
