Other holdings slid in the short term. Real estate expert JLL (NYSE:JLL) drifted -26.61% after a soft earnings report. The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $4.53, below the consensus estimate of $4.78. Currency had the biggest negative impact, although revenues were soft even though they were up year-over-year. Management delivered a steady outlook and said leasing volumes are improving. We are quite content to own this powerhouse through the ups and downs of the business cycle.
