L1 Capital International Fund made the following comment about UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) in its first quarter 2023 investor letter:
“During the March 2023 quarter, while share prices changed, the change was largely in one direction, up, for companies in our Portfolio and on our Bench. We did take advantage of improving sentiment to higher growth technology companies and the share price of more defensive companies drifting down to divest our investment in Adobe and increase the Fund’s investment in UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH). United Health’s share price was also under moderate pressure due to regulatory announcements being very slightly adverse. We believe the market over-reacted to these announcements and the share price has recovered strongly over recent weeks.”
