We also added Madison Square Garden EntertainmentCorporation (MSGE, Financial), which owns scarce and well positioned venue assets in New York City and Las Vegas. MSGE was spun out from Madison Square Garden Company on April 17. Given current restrictions on large gatherings, we entered the name at a meaningful discount to our estimate of private market value. With $1.4 billion in cash and investments, we believe the company has enough liquidity to withstand the current cash burn until event attendance normalizes – at which point, we think MSGE is positioned to see a more rapid return to higher usage than peers.
