“Euronet Worldwide, a holding since the strategy’s inception, provides transaction processing and cash management services. We exited the position and used the proceeds as a source of funds for new opportunities given that the pandemic has hampered demand for Euronet’s services. While we believe Euronet has been able to navigate challenging circumstances, the ongoing move to cashless payments, its higher market cap, and alternative and compelling investment opportunities led us to exit our position.”
