“Alight, Inc. (NYSE:ALIT) is a leading cloud-based human capital technology provider of enterprise-level software that helps businesses and their employees manage critical human resources functions. Through its investments in software and automation, Alight has built a distinct advantage that allows its customers to deliver HR services at a much lower cost while providing a better experience for employees.

We slightly trimmed the position early in the quarter when the stock appreciated on the announced sale of a non-strategic business unit and news that an activist investor had initiated a position. Later in the period, the stock declined when Alight announced weaker-than-expected results. We believe the softer quarter will prove to be an isolated event.”
