     Yet the stocks that were in the portfolio a year ago
     remain large positions today because – even though
     stock prices have risen – they're still what I view as
     some of the best high-quality stocks with cheap
     valuations in the market.
     "As an example, Synchrony Financial continued to
     trade at a single-digit price-earnings (P/E) ratio. In
     addition, CBRE Group and Jones Lang LaSalle have
     made what I view as underappreciated changes to
     their business models and, therefore, have
     underappreciated prospects for revenue and
     earnings growth.
     "In utilities, NRG Energy faces transitory issues that I
     believe will dissipate and result in a more
     normalized earnings profile in the near future. Still,
     NRG continued to trade at a significant discount
     relative to other utilities.
     "In my view, these stocks – all among our top-10
     holdings on July 31 – represent some of the most
     attractive opportunities in the mid-cap value space.
     When there are no better ideas, sometimes it's best
     for portfolio management to practice the art of
     doing nothing."
