Investment management company First Pacific Advisors<\/a> recently released its “FPA Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund” Q3 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here<\/a>. The Fund returned -7.62% in the third quarter of 2026, underperforming the Russell 2000 Value Index, which fell 4.91%. However, the Fund’s year-to-date return of 17.35% exceeded the benchmark’s 16.96%. Portfolio managers attributed the quarterly underperformance primarily to the Fund’s lack of exposure to Energy and Healthcare, and weakness in consumer discretionary holdings. They noted that recent small-cap gains had been driven largely by speculative stocks, including loss-making companies and biotechnology businesses, while profitable small-cap companies continued to trade at attractive valuations relative to larger peers. During the quarter, the fund reduced its exposure to appreciated technology stocks and invested in established businesses with sound fundamentals and reasonable valuations. Looking ahead, the managers acknowledged continued market volatility but remained confident in the Fund’s long-term prospects, emphasizing that discipline, patience, and a focus on business fundamentals would help the portfolio navigate speculative market conditions.
