Third Avenue Management in their Small-Cap Value Fund’s Q3 2020 Investor Letter said that they eliminated their positions in Genpact Limited (NYSE: G) because it is no longer a small-cap company due to its outstanding performance. Genpact Limited is a professional services firm that currently has a $7.7 billion market cap. For the past 3 months, Genpact Limited delivered a 6.69% return and settled at $40.98 per share at the closing of January 15th.
Here is what Third Avenue Management has to say about Genpact Limited in their Investor Letter:
“Long-time holding Genpact was sold after the NAV discount narrowed, and due to strong performance, it was no longer a small-cap company. The investment provided handsome returns to Fund shareholders over the years, but given its market cap, valuation, and other opportunities available, selling the position and recycling the capital seemed prudent.”
