“As long-term investors, we have approached these moves in a thoughtful way, reducing positions when short-term headwinds cause us to re-examine our investment thesis and only exiting names when we believe with certainty that the reason for owning them no longer applies. This was the case with Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA), which we exited in the second quarter when the company suffered accelerated market share declines, in addition to the broader macro issues it was facing.”
