Here is what Third Avenue Management specifically said about CatchMark Timber Trust, Inc. (NYSE:CTT):
“The primary contributors to performance during the period included the Fund’s investments in CatchMark Timber Trust, Inc. (NYSE:CTT) and certain Hong Kong-based real estate operating companies (CK Asset and Wharf Holdings). Notwithstanding, the Fund was more generally impacted by broad-based market volatility in the quarter with some of the most significant detractors to performance attributable to the Fund’s investments in US-based real estate operating companies with extensive development activities (Five Point and Trinity Place) and those with meaningful exposure to industrial real estate (Prologis, Segro, and First Industrial). Further details on these positions, as well as additions to D.R. Horton and CBRE Group and the historically-wide price-to-value gap for the Fund’s holdings are included herein.
Along these lines, the Fund exited its position in the common stock of Catchmark Timber Trust during the quarter as the US-based Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) agreed to merge with PotlatchDeltic at prices that were more reflective of the private market value of its timberland holdings, and a reasonable premium to the Fund’s cost basis. The proceeds were largely used to establish a meaningful position in the common stock of D.R. Horton, which is now a core position in the Fund at 4.0% of assets.”
