    Wow. Whose next; Royce? D&C?

    Used to own Tweedy Browne but their expense ratio was too high. Found other alternatives.

    I left long ago when they sold the firm to AGM, and the principals walked off with a pot of money

    They responded to the criticisms saying that they needed "estate planning options" but as I remember, one's only dependent was his cat

    I might have been interested but the expense ratio is showing 0.80%. This is too high, especially for an ETF in my opinion.

    Tweedy has never been cheap. My wife is in TWEBX for it's (one-time) ability to avoid losses and deliver a smooth ride; for that we were willing to pay the above average ER. Its been an underperformer for a long time, however, and we're ready to move on.

    We moved on from Tweedy Browne many years ago when we found cheaper alternatives with comparable and often better performance. Currency hedging adds to the expense ratio.

    Additionally, value style has lagged growth style in oversea investing.
