In the fourth quarter, FOX (NASDAQ:FOXA)’s shares were the strongest contributor to results for the Fund. Recently, FOX has delivered strong ratings in news and sports, and announced an agreement to purchase full ownership of Sky, a leading European media and communications company. In the last few years, FOX has struggled with currency headwinds and challenges in the movie studio business, which has masked continued solid growth in cable content. Recently, AT&T announced a proposed acquisition of Time Warner that we think demonstrates that top content is increasingly valuable today.
