| QUARTER | THEMES | TAGS |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 Q3 |
ValueThe portfolio trades at significant discounts to the broad market, with P/E ratios 40-42% below the S&P 500. The manager believes many steady-growing companies are overlooked by markets focused on AI winners, creating opportunities in businesses with lower assumed margins and productivity that could benefit from AI adoption. |

| 2025 Q2 |
ValuationU.S. equities are historically expensive by any measure and at levels typically associated with subdued future returns. The S&P 500 is trading near record multiples with just 20 stocks accounting for over 50% of the market at a 120% premium to the rest. Historical analysis shows that rich starting valuations correlate with lower longer-term returns. |

| TICKER | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|
| DNTL | DNTL was one of the Fund's three largest holdings in 2025 and among the largest winners, contributing to the combined 30% gross return. DNTL was acquired by GTCR. |
| ET | Energy Transport is a tollbooth on the energy highway—mission-critical pipelines moving natural gas to power-hungry regions. With regulated contracts, inflation-protected cash flows, and an ~8% yield, ET offers steady income and optionality from the AI infrastructure build out. It was a mild underperformer last quarter and a drag on our performance last year. |
| PRKS | United Parks & Resorts hurt us due to cyclical headwinds but we believe will likely recover in due course. |
| WSC | Security selection within Industrials comprised the biggest drag on relative performance in the year, as positions in Masco, WillScot Holdings, and ACV Auctions all incurred pullbacks of varying magnitudes (vs. a positive return for the overall sector). The resultant sell-offs in WillScot and ACV in particular create what we view to be a potentially asymmetric return opportunity for both positions – should industry conditions in their respective industries (WillScot provides modular office/storage for construction sites, ACV is a leader in wholesale car auctions) normalize as anticipated. |
