Strategy Commentary

Following a breakneck advance through the first half of the year, U.S. equity indices turned in mixed results for the third quarter. The market’s tone shifted noticeably in September when investors faced increasing evidence that supply chain disruptions, rising input cost inflation, and labor shortages might negatively impact the near-term trajectory of the economic recovery.

Cooke & Bieler’s SMID Cap Value Strategy slightly lagged the benchmark in the third quarter, posting a return of -2.42% gross of fees (-2.64% net of fees) versus -2.07% for the Russell 2500™ Value Index.
