Cummins (NYSE:CMI), the diesel-engine manufacturer, boosted the Fund’s return by 104 basis points, as its stock gained 55.3%, from $88.01 to $136.67. We sold our position in the spring, when the stock shifted into high gear after Cummins’ 2016 earnings guidance, as management’s execution on its cost-cutting initiatives offset a cyclical downturn in truck sales.
