The Davenport Core Leaders Fund (DAVPX) advanced 11.13%, outperforming its benchmark. Key performance contributors included tech leaders like NVIDIA and Meta, although the fund maintained a disciplined underweight stance on mega-caps for risk management.

The team remains constructive and focused on disciplined, long-term capital deployment.
