"Aristotle Value Equity WM Composite returned 3.82% net in 3Q25, underperforming its benchmark. The manager initiated positions in Synopsys and Wells Fargo, emphasizing fundamental quality over macro-driven trading."

Relative underperformance was driven by security selection in Materials, Information Technology, and Health Care. The portfolio added new positions in Synopsys (spurred by its ANSYS acquisition) and Wells Fargo (benefiting from the lifting of the Fed asset cap), with zero sales recorded. Key contributors included Martin Marietta Materials and Xcel Energy, while Corteva (affected by corporate split news) and Ameriprise Financial detracted.
