“We initiated two new positions in the quarter and exited one. IAC Inc. (NASDAQ:IAC) is our most material new position with a 2.5% weight. The market gave us the opportunity to buy a company with an excellent capital allocation track record around the price of its liquid securities, MGM Resorts International (MGM), Angi Inc. (ANGI) and cash. This means we got the rest of the company, including Dotdash Meredith, Care.com and Turo, and all future value creation nearly for free. At $69, the stock remains well below the 2021 highs ($179) and our assessment of what it’s worth. We like the collection of businesses, see significant opportunity in each one and believe management will continue to grow shareholder value.”
