While the S&P 500® Index was largely flat in the first two months of the year, the MSCI ACWI ex US Small Cap Index jumped 11%.
Our net asset value rose 2.9% during the quarter, while our benchmark fell 0.5%.
Given the portfolio's relatively low turnover, our outperformance, as in many other times, was not due to a quick portfolio repositioning nor to an astute geopolitical or macro insight.
