In addition to exiting Interval Leisure, we also closed our position in Twenty-First Century Fox (NASDAQ:FOXA). Media companies in general have seen heightened volatility as investors wrestle with the proliferation of entertainment options available to today’s consumer. In this rapidly changing environment, we have greater conviction that cable providers, given their ability to offer broadband Internet service, have a stronger hand to play–and the cable industry represents a significant portion of the Fund’s invested assets. Thus, as Fox shares recovered from recent declines, we elected to close the position. The Fund also eliminated a small position in National CineMedia. Valuation also drove trims of Liberty Expedia Holdings and Redwood Trust.
