The manager is Wilmot Kidd is quite old like Buffett I am unsure of the secession plan. This probably causes some uncertainty and widens the discount.

However, Kidd has been able to beat the SP500 by 1-2% quietly and under the wall street radar.

There is also some incredibly low cost basis to some of the positions and that would mean some tax hit and hence discount.
