"During Q2, we made an investment in Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:LYV), the leading integrated global concert company. Having studied the business model and management’s accomplishments for many years, we saw, in our view, an attractive entry point after the shares dislocated on news of an antitrust lawsuit from the Department of Justice (DoJ). We believe LYV is set to compound earnings at a double-digit rate through the next decade driven by strong demand for concerts, robust pricing power, and a sizeable opportunity to reinvest in owned and operated venues.
