Strategy Commentary

U.S. equity markets continued higher in the third quarter on the heels of further government stimulus, improving economic data, encouraging readouts from COVID-19 vaccine trials, and better clinical outcomes for COVID-19 patients. Though the trend reversed in September, growth stocks again led the charge, with the Russell Midcap® Growth Index up 9.37% for the three-month period versus 6.40% for the Russell Midcap® Value Index.

The third quarter was difficult for active managers and mid cap value managers in particular struggled to keep pace, with only 6% beating the benchmark. Cooke & Bieler’s Mid Cap Value Strategy returned 4.77% gross of fees (4.58% net of fees), underperforming the Russell Midcap® Value Index.
