Quarter Analysis
13F change notes for Fundsmith (Terry Smith) in 2026-03-31.
Fundsmith's $12.8B concentrated book — Terry Smith's famous 'do nothing' principle visible: every top-10 name flagged persistence with -8% to -22% share trims (likely a small partial rebalance after the Q1 drawdown). Two clean exits: Intuit (26q) and Nike (24q) — both long-tenured positions sold. Marriott now top weight at 8.6%. The trims are uniform suggesting cash flow rebalancing rather than thesis changes.
