Third Avenue Small-Cap Value Fund highlighted Ambac Financial Group in its Q3 2025 investor letter after Wisconsin regulators approved the sale of Ambac’s legacy financial guarantee business to Oaktree, enabling a rapid closing and significant cash inflow.

Third Avenue initiated its position in Ambac in Q4 2024; Ambac shares closed at $8.28 on Nov. 5, 2025, with a one‑month return of 3.11% and a 52‑week decline of 26.73%. » Plus sur finance.yahoo.com
