“Third Avenue Management has remained singularly committed to executing upon its unique form of active, fundamental, value investing,” said Matthew Fine, Portfolio Manager of the Third Avenue Value Fund. “This has become an increasingly unconventional approach in recent years but one we believe enables our firm to produce superior results for clients across our strategies. We are thrilled to deliver on those expectations and grateful to LSEG Lipper for recognizing that success.”
