Liberty Park Select Opportunities Fund returned 20.8% net in Q2 2026, matching the Russell 2000's 21.5% return while deliberately avoiding AI stocks and semiconductors. The fund's top contributors included Xometry, which rebounded 136% after marketplace revenue growth accelerated to 40% year-over-year, and Bel Fuse, up 68% on strong Aerospace & Defense demand. The manager views AI equities as being in a bubble, noting that governments delaying frontier models could pressure leading AI labs and trigger significant earnings revisions. Despite this risk, the economy has proved remarkably resilient, with trillions in unanticipated capex fueling real growth. The manager observes that AI is democratizing infrastructure and making knowledge workers more productive, creating a secular tailwind for the broader economy. As investors sell high-quality compounders to fund AI investments, valuations outside the AI theme have become compelling. The fund maintains net long exposure at the high end of its typical range, concentrating capital in overlooked small-cap opportunities where mispricing persists.
The fund is concentrating capital in high-conviction small-cap positions in overlooked corners of the market where mispricing persists, deliberately avoiding the AI and semiconductor bubble despite acknowledging it could become the largest in history.
The manager maintains a constructive outlook on the broader economy, viewing the democratization of AI infrastructure as a massive secular tailwind. Despite acknowledging AI equities are in a bubble, the manager is positioning for opportunities in overlooked areas of the market where valuations are compelling. Net long exposure remains at the high end of the typical range, reflecting confidence in mispriced small-cap opportunities outside the AI theme.

| TICKER | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|
| XMTR | Xometry was hit hard in the first quarter following an overly negative reaction to the announced CEO transition and a blog post suggesting that AI agents could soon dismantle network effects. The company's 1Q26 earnings report demonstrated that these concerns are premature. Marketplace revenue growth accelerated meaningfully, increasing from 33% to 40% year-over-year. |
| BELFB | Bel Fuse delivered strong results with sales up sharply year-over-year and issued higher-than-expected guidance. Performance reflected robust demand across Aerospace & Defense and Networking markets. |
| HQI | HireQuest benefited from an improving hiring environment throughout the quarter, with immigration enforcement tightening the labor pool and driving demand for the company's staffing services. This momentum is supported by a decentralized model that continues to outperform larger competitors. Additionally, the company has an active buyback program equal to approximately 40% of the free float. |
| VSEC | VSE Corp advanced following the Iran ceasefire and a significant 1Q earnings beat. The company continues to scale its aviation aftermarket platform by successfully adding to its repair capabilities and expanding its global footprint. |
| AESI | Atlas Energy Solutions declined alongside broader energy weakness following signs of progress in resolving Middle East tensions. We continue to view the company's in-basin sand position as differentiated and expect significant operating leverage if domestic completion activity improves. |
| LRN | Stride shares pulled back in mid-June following the loss of the Lone Star Online Academy contract in Texas, which was not renewed by the Roscoe Independent School District. This represented an impact of roughly 5% of the company's projected total enrollment for the period. While this development created near-term volatility, we note that in past similar contract losses, a meaningful portion of students often migrated to other Stride-powered programs. |
| LMB | Limbach shares meaningfully underperformed the broader market, declining ~30% post-earnings due to delivery timing issues and significant gross margin compression reflecting the impact of last year's lower-margin Pioneer Power acquisition. Despite these headwinds, management reaffirmed full-year guidance and highlighted extremely strong orders. We expect shares to rebound as these issues resolve. |
| SES | SECURE Waste Infrastructure Corp announced it was being acquired during the quarter and was a slight negative contributor due to the timing of adds and trims through the quarter. |
