During the second quarter, some of the largest detractors included Fox (FOX), P&G (PG), and Samsung (XKRX:005935), which are among our high conviction long-term investments. We think these investments all offer significant long-term value despite their recent unpopularity.
P&G (PG) was out of favor during the quarter as the company continued to sell its non-core businesses. Now that the divestitures are nearly complete, we think P&G will grow faster and manage costs more effectively than they have in recent years.
