FPA Crescent Fund

Flexible global value-oriented multi-asset approach spanning equities, fixed income and cash.25 published ideas

FPA Crescent is a flexible global strategy that manages net risk exposure dynamically rather than remaining fully invested in equities. Its managers seek high-quality businesses with strong balance sheets, good management and valuations that can support attractive absolute returns under conservative assumptions. In Q2 2026 the fund increasingly emphasized mid-sized, relatively AI-agnostic companies while scaling back exposure to areas where valuations had been driven higher by the AI capital cycle.
