FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DOMO Capital Announces Results through Q3, 2018

Germantown, WI - October 8, 2018

DOMO Capital returns 10.2% through the third quarter of 2018, net of fees. Summary

DOMO Capital Management, LLC ("DOMO Capital") is pleased to provide an update on 2018 performance through the third quarter of 2018. Both the S&P 500 Total Return index and the DOMO Concentrated All Cap Value composite (net of fees) have returned approximately 10.5% YTD through the third quarter of 2018.


It was a relatively benign quarter, with few macro events impacting the portfolio. However, we will be watching the 2018 elections closely. We believe the GOP will gain seats in the Senate, but are uncertain how many. The results in the House of Representatives are more difficult to predict, although we think that a Democrat majority in the House might trigger the next market crisis, perhaps even quite rapidly. If the Democrats win the House there is one possible event in particular that we will be watching very carefully, and we may seek to protect the portfolio should it develop. We would prefer to just pick great stocks, but we will do what we think necessary to protect your assets. If the GOP maintains control of both the Senate and the House we see little risk to the market unless interest rates invert or 10-year treasury rates appreciate sharply above 3.25%.


The very recent agreement between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada to replace NAFTA is a major development that is likely to benefit the market and the portfolio. The agreement maintains tariffs on steel and aluminum while benefiting dairy farmers, U.S. auto manufacturers, and American workers, while Canada preserved a dispute resolution process that existed in NAFTA. It settles potential problems associated with the lack of an agreement with our neighbors and key trading partners, without meaningful compromise on the part of American business. It should also strengthen the Canadian dollar along with their business outlook, for many of the same reasons, which is good for the two names we hold that are domiciled in Canada. This agreement will also put pressure on China as it strengthens the American hand.


DOMO Capital Updates

During the quarter, Pensions & Investments named DOMO Capital as a "Top-Performing Manager" in its most recent Q2, 2018 quarterly ranking of managers.
