The Insiders Fund delivered strong performance in 2025 with a 30.83% net return, significantly outperforming the S&P 500's 17.85%. The fund has evolved from pure insider buying focus to thematic investing, using insider behavior for confirmation. Three major interconnected themes drive the strategy: onshoring semiconductor manufacturing through government incentives like the CHIPS Act, AI expansion into Physical AI and robotics for real-world productivity gains, and reshoring critical manufacturing for supply chain resilience. Key positions include Alphabet at 30% of the fund, semiconductor equipment plays like Applied Materials and Intel, and industrial automation through Rockwell. The manager successfully traded AMD and other positions but regrets selling winners too early due to covered call strategies. Looking ahead, the fund expects increased volatility in 2026 given historical Presidential cycle patterns and plans more active trading while maintaining focus on the core structural themes that should drive long-term outperformance.
The fund is positioned around three interconnected structural themes that will drive investment opportunities over the next decade: onshoring the semiconductor industry, AI including Physical AI and robotics, and bringing critical manufacturing back to the U.S.
The manager expects 2026 to be more volatile given historical patterns of the second year of Presidential cycles. The fund will be more active in trading and continues to focus on the three major structural themes of onshoring, AI/Physical AI, and domestic manufacturing. Tax optimization strategies around long-term capital gains versus market-to-market returns may impact total returns but should improve after-tax outcomes.

AIAI has been integrated into RGA's research process through tools like NotebookLM, Gems in Gemini, and Claude Code. The firm views AI as a force multiplier for human judgment rather than a replacement, emphasizing the Kasparov Law principle. They believe the market narrative around AI displacement is swinging to unhelpful extremes, creating investment opportunities. |

Industrial PolicyGlobal shift towards National Capitalism where governments actively prioritize national economic interests over global integration, using tools like tariffs, subsidies, and industrial policy to support domestic production. This represents movement away from market-based economies toward greater state intervention. |

| TICKER | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|
| AMAT | Top gainers in the Fund this quarter included Applied Materials (+26%). During the quarter, we trimmed the Fund's holding in Applied Materials as it rallied |
| AMD | AMD was mentioned as an example of businesses that already make money, have shown they can do so through cycles and are priced so that we do not need everything to go right. |
| APPF | AppFolio, Inc. (APPF) is a cloud-based software, data, and services provider to the real estate industry with a focus on small to medium-sized property managers. Results in the quarter were negatively impacted by a bonus accrual impact that caused margins to contract in 2025. This was a surprise. Our understanding is that this bonus accrual was partly driven by new units added. Long-term, this is a good problem to have. Every new customer APPF adds should have an extremely high lifetime value. We attended APPF's Investor Day intra quarter and came away more confident in APPF's ability to add solutions that further build that lifetime value. We view APPF management as disciplined operators and would argue that appropriately compensating employees for new business is important. We suspect that the stock was also negatively impacted by concerns around AI. APPF has a direct AI native competitor for certain modules – EliseAI. APPF is introducing comparable solutions in 2026. We're positive on AI for APPF long-term as APPF controls their own destiny as a system of record, serves SMBs, already has unit-based pricing rather than seat-based pricing, and has generally executed well on product, including AI. |
| AXON | Axon Enterprise Inc. develops and produces Taser weapons and body cameras for law enforcement agencies. Investors have grown accustomed to big beats and raises from Axon. A slight beat to third-quarter projections and mixed fourth-quarter guidance triggered a -21% decline. We added to the position due to solid customer growth and retention. There are also numerous growth drivers for their business including Taser 10, bodycam 4, and their artificial intelligence software bundle. |
| ET | ET now expects to be slightly below the low end of its 2025 EBITDA guidance range. The quarter saw a rotation away from natural-gas-focused stocks. |
| GOOGL | In the third quarter, Google, Kairos Power, and the Tennessee Valley Authority announced a major collaboration centered on a novel power purchase agreement. Google followed this announcement with another significant step forward. On October 27, Google and NextEra Energy announced plans to restart the Duane Arnold Energy Center. |
| INTC | even Intel (a frequent punchline for missing cycles) found itself unexpectedly capacity-constrained in data-centre CPUs. |
| LLY | Eli Lilly shares were a top performer in 4Q25 after delivering strong Q3 2025 earnings in October. Revenue rose 54% year-over-year to $17.6 billion, and adjusted EPS of $7.02 beat consensus of $6.02. Growth was driven by its GLP-1 franchises, Mounjaro and Zepbound, where sales more than doubled year-over-year, alongside strength in other therapeutic areas. Management raised full-year guidance for both revenue and earnings, reinforcing investor confidence in the company's growth outlook. |
| LRCX | we believe it is well positioned to become an approved vendor for Lam Research (a supplier of wafer-fabrication equipment) as well |
| MRVL | We also initiated a position in Marvell Technology which is a fabless semiconductor company that supplies technology necessary to move, store, process and secure data across various end-markets such as data centers, enterprise networks and telecommunications infrastructure. We believe the risk/reward looks compelling and we elected to start a position on the stock's recent pullback. |
| NKE | Notable positive contributions from the Fund's short book in December include National Vision Holdings, Nike, and Starbucks. |
| NSC | Norfolk Southern merger with Union Pacific would create the first transcontinental rail network in the United States. We believe this provides a credible pathway to renewed volume growth and further productivity gains in an otherwise mature industry. |
| NUE | Trump often states you don't have a country if you don't have a steel industry. You can't build a military without steel. Trump's proposed increase in the defense budget will benefit Nucor. Nucor maintains a highly diversified customer base with over 10,000 customers. Significantly, no single customer represents more than 5% of consolidated revenue, mitigating concentration risk. We are up over 25% on our cost basis. |
| ROK | Rockwell Automation is the pure-play bet on factory digitization. Its moat is sticky, mission-critical automation software and hardware that enable manufacturers to boost efficiency, safety, and uptime. Secular tailwinds—reshoring, labor shortages, electrification, and physical AI-driven industrial automation—give it years of demand runway. With recurring revenue growth, strong pricing power, and capital-light margins, ROK is a high-quality compounder in a world where industrial efficiency is gold. |
