A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. In the second quarter, the fund returned 22.26% compared to 15.20% for the S&P 500 Index. The performance was driven by active special case investments, including buying a tender offer, a merger-spinoff, and investments in affordable turnaround opportunities. The fund continues to hold spinoffs of reliable businesses at favorable price ratios and non-spinoff businesses that are undervalued compared to their downside valuation.

(NYSE:TNET) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:"We also added to TriNet Group, Inc. (NYSE:TNET) in the second quarter, as a very inexpensive turnaround. TriNet provides health insurance, payroll, and retirement accounts to small and mid-sized businesses. My view is that TriNet is an excellent business that has gone through a difficult period, and is now improving. The company has suffered (after first benefiting) from unexpected changes in health care costs. These first dropped during COVID, and then rose rapidly. This unusual period made it particularly difficult for TriNet to forecast healthcare costs, and thus to properly price its health insurance offerings to customers. The result has been that they have had to raise prices a lot, which cost them customers both this year and last. The company now has a better handle on its prices and costs, and its profit margins are rebounding back to its longer term average. I believe that TriNet's operating results have bottomed and will continue to improve. This should drive the stock price—which was recently in "crazy cheap" territory—higher over the coming years."Is TriNet Group Inc.
