Invesco Small Cap Value Fund outperformed its benchmark in Q1 2026, driven primarily by strong stock selection in information technology and industrials. The managers capitalized on market volatility to add new positions while eliminating holdings to fund more attractive opportunities. The fund employs an intrinsic value approach, seeking significantly undervalued companies on an absolute basis with a long-term investment horizon. Key contributors included semiconductor-related companies like Applied Optoelectronics, Lumentum, and MKS, which benefited from strong demand for optical transceivers and equipment tied to AI infrastructure spending. Notable additions included Darling Ingredients and Concentra, both seen as undervalued relative to intrinsic value estimates. The managers believe small-cap value stocks appear attractive relative to S&P 500 stocks, with the Russell 2000 Value Index trading at historical discounts. Following years of large-cap outperformance, they see greater long-term upside potential in small-caps. The portfolio maintains exposure to economically sensitive stocks, positioning for what they view as compelling long-term capital appreciation opportunities.

| TICKER | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|
| DAR | The company is a global producer of sustainable ingredients, converting animal by-products and organic waste into value-added products such as feed ingredients, food ingredients and renewable fuel feedstocks. The company has been facing pressure in its renewable diesel margins, which we believe has created an attractive valuation opportunity given other avenues for growth, including high margin health ingredients such as collagen and expansion of animal and pet nutrition. |
| CON | The company provides occupational health services in the US. With an attractive geographic footprint, we believe Concentra has a solid growth profile and ability to generate free cash flow that has been underappreciated by the market, resulting in a disconnect between its valuation and our estimate of intrinsic value. |
| ERO | The copper miner reported strong earnings and free cash flow generation due to improving production performance and lower operating costs. Higher copper prices further boosted the shares, which have appreciated materially since we purchased the company. We sold the position to fund what we saw as more attractive opportunities in other areas. |
| BHE | The global electronics manufacturing services company has in our view executed well, exceeding analysts' earnings estimates for a series of quarters. The company has also built exposure to more resilient, higher margin end markets such as medical and aerospace & defense. Given the stock's recent strength, we opted to sell the position to fund other opportunities we believe have better upside to intrinsic value. |
| AAOI | The company designs and manufactures fiber-optic networking products that enable high-speed data transmission. The firm reported a double-digit increase in quarterly revenues and provided robust revenue guidance amid strong demand for its optical transceivers and other networking equipment. |
| LITE | Shares of this market-leading designer and manufacturer of innovative optical and photonic products rose in the first quarter, driven by apparent investor enthusiasm for its AI-driven growth potential. |
| MKSI | The company supplies advanced instruments, subsystems and process-control solutions for semiconductor manufacturing and other industrial uses. Demand has been strong, supported by higher capital spending tied to AI and advanced computing infrastructure. |
| ICLR | Two sequential developments drove a drop in the shares of this global contract research organization (CRO). Along with peers and companies across multiple sectors, ICON faced a broad investor selloff seemingly driven by concerns about the potential impact of AI on traditional business models. Shortly thereafter, ICON disclosed that its audit committee had initiated an internal accounting review of revenue recognition practices for the prior three years. Management indicated that any overstatement is expected to be less than 2% of revenues in two previously reported years, with no effect on cash flows. |
| QDEL | This manufacturer of diagnostic health care products reported better-than-expected earnings but provided weaker-than-expected guidance for the full year. |
| EXPE | Shares of the online travel company fell after management's full-year revenue guidance was muted relative to elevated expectations, as cost-cutting benefits subsided and spending on AI and other growth initiatives increased. Management's cautious outlook was compounded by apparent fears about the potential long-term negative effect of AI on online travel companies. |
