FDD's recent outperformance is driven by heavy exposure to financials and energy, not by superior strategy or geographic allocation. Much of FDD's gains stem from multiple expansion in the financial and energy sectors, with prices rising faster than earnings. This multiple expansion is likely unsustainable, and a mean reversion could limit future outperformance for FDD.
