The Fund’s top (long) detractor for the quarter was Liberty Broadband (NASDAQ:LBRDA) (-11%), a holding company that owns a significant stake in U.S. broadband and cable TV provider Charter Communications. Progress in Charter’s integration of Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks has come in fits and starts, making it difficult for analysts to forecast results in any given quarter. We continue to have strong conviction in Charter’s long-term opportunities and position as an advantaged provider of broadband connectivity. Investors are encouraged to read our Analyst Corner feature on Charter for a more in-depth discussion.
