| 2025 Q4 | Jan 26, 2026 | Cambiar SMID Fund | 1.6% | 0.0% | ACVA, ALGN, BOKF, COO, EEFT, FNF, GOOGL, JBHT, LAZ, MAS, NVDA, WFC, WSC | AI, Credit Stress, financials, healthcare, Quality, small caps, value | The market has priced in a near-flawless AI future for years, but sentiment is shifting as investors become more scrutinizing. Only two of the Mag7 outperformed in 2025, and the market is now more discerning about how AI investments will translate into financial returns. Increased debt financing for AI capex creates vulnerability to credit tightening. The fourth quarter saw a reversal in the growth versus value trade, with traditional value sectors like Healthcare and Financials performing well while Mag7 largely lagged. The fund's quality bias and valuation sensitivity were out of step with a market prioritizing higher-beta momentum stocks. Value stocks offer attractive return potential going forward. Small cap stocks trailed larger cap counterparts for the year despite posting respectable 12.8% gains. Companies with negative income outperformed by wide margins in 2025, creating challenges for quality-focused strategies. The market environment paralleled 2021's speculative period with little regard for valuation or earnings. Corporate bankruptcies spiked in 2025, highlighting growing financial pressure amid elevated borrowing costs. Middle and lower income consumers are increasingly stretched with high credit card balances and subprime auto loan delinquencies at highest levels since 2008. Rising unemployment likely to amplify these pressures. | COO |
