LRT Capital’s Q3 Letter Reports -8% September and Reasserts Moat-Focused Picks

The firm reiterates a low‑net, systematic long/short approach in a market dominated by a few mega‑caps.

Overview

  • LRT Global Opportunities Strategy recorded a -8.00% net return in September and a year‑to‑date return of -0.17%.
  • Management attributes recent difficulty to index gains concentrated in a handful of expensive mega‑cap stocks as broader equities lagged.
  • The letter emphasizes a disciplined, systematic long/short process with low net exposure designed to control downside risk.
  • Highlighted holdings span category‑defining, high‑moat businesses including UnitedHealth, Toronto‑Dominion Bank, Fabrinet, Crown Castle, Colliers, RLI, StoneX, Toro, Simpson Manufacturing, Chemed, and Travelers.
  • The update was broadly syndicated on October 7–8 by financial outlets, including a fresh Yahoo Finance piece profiling Travelers on October 8.
