They regularly search the 52-week low list for potential opportunities rather than momentum plays. The managers believe the investment community is casting its gaze away from various market constituents that offer asymmetric risk-reward for those willing to look forward three to five years. The fund is actively investing in global securities with lower market capitalizations, believing these offer attractive opportunities that are being overlooked. They note there may be a shrinking pool of active investors with the interest and resources to conduct in-depth research on lower market-cap names. Source has 25.9% committed to private credit including called and uncalled capital as of quarter-end. The managers continue to look for opportunities to increase that exposure, viewing private credit as an attractive asset class for the fund's balanced strategy. The fund is responding to historically low credit spreads by reducing exposure to high yield and other lower-rated debt. They believe current spreads offer insufficient compensation for credit risk and increase the risk of permanent impairment of capital. The managers are downside-focused and do not share the market's optimism needed to justify such low spreads. | MSFT MTN IFF SAF FP TEL |

When amortizing AI capex over the system that will use it, the returns appear massive and under-reported. S&P margins look structurally too low in most forecasts as labor efficiency gains may likely create an upward drift in margin ceilings. Aerospace is cyclically inflecting ahead of a long duration upcycle supported by secular growth of the global middle class. The Aerospace Normalization theme was the largest positive contributor in 2025 with General Electric, Rolls-Royce and Howmet all making meaningful contributions driven by fundamental strength. Power demand creates new secular growth opportunities, with data centers reaching deep into industrial portfolios. Caterpillar's co-located power capability at data centers represents significant revenue upside potential to the Energy & Transportation segment. Analog Devices represents the premium analog compounder as the cycle turns, with best-in-class economics including 70%+ gross margins and 45-50% EBIT targets. The team believes 2Q25 marked the restart of the semiconductor cycle with pricing and margin inflection underway. De-globalization theme involves redirection of capital on post pandemic priorities for security of energy and reliability of supply chains. Companies like Siemens Energy, GE Vernova, Constellation Energy and Vistra are positioned to benefit from this structural shift. Industrial automation represents a key secular trend with companies like Rockwell Automation positioned to benefit from digitization and AI-enabled transformation of enterprise operations. This includes factory automation and process optimization across manufacturing. | GE |

Its increasingly dense fulfillment network enables faster delivery speeds at lower cost, with 10% reduction in average travel distance for packages and 10% fewer touches compared to 2024. Amazon Web Services powers much of the digital world with approximately 30% market share and structurally lower unit costs than competitors. AWS offers more than 200 fully featured services and has consistently reinvested scale advantages into developer tools and proprietary chips, making customer workloads 20-40% more cost-effective. Semiconductors are the most fundamental technology in modern economies, with consumption expected to approach $1 trillion annually by end of decade. The industry has consolidated into dominant players at each key step in the value chain, resulting in deep customer relationships and prolific free cash flow generation. AI demand is driving explosive growth in datacenter interconnect requirements where companies like Amphenol are winning outsized market share. Microsoft's strategic partnership with OpenAI has created valuable new customer sources, while continued AI investments are driving demand for advanced chips across the semiconductor supply chain. HEICO benefits from aerospace industry supply chain problems as manufacturers struggle to ramp production of new aircraft. Rising air travel demand served through greater utilization of existing fleet has created higher maintenance demand, parts shortages, and price inflation - a perfect environment for HEICO to gain market share. Global payment networks Visa and Mastercard are uniquely durable businesses deeply embedded in global commerce plumbing. The digitization of payments continues as a multi-decade growth tailwind, particularly in underpenetrated geographies in Asia and Latin America, with value-added services providing additional monetization opportunities. Moody's and S&P Global operate near monopolies in credit ratings assignment, with regulatory requirements making their ratings industry standard.

They avoid speculative areas where reward for taking risks is insufficient relative to potential returns. The strategy has generated equity-like returns while placing equal importance on capital preservation and appreciation over 30 years. The fund is actively investing in small to mid-cap global securities, believing the investment community is casting its gaze away from these market constituents that offer asymmetric risk-reward for those willing to look forward three to five years. Recent purchases demonstrate their commitment to this thesis. The fund discusses AI extensively through Microsoft's transformation and growth prospects. They analyze how AI/cloud developments transformed Microsoft's business model and examine the massive revenue growth required for current AI valuations to make sense, questioning whether Microsoft can add revenue equivalent to multiple major software companies combined. | MSFT |

The AI super-cycle continues to provide powerful support, yet it carries risks. Investor willingness to underwrite aggressive AI spending has cooled somewhat, and the debate over whether we are in an AI bubble has increased. Lam Research benefitted from improving sentiment regarding the importance of its products within the semiconductor capital spending market. As a leading provider of equipment tied to memory requirements for AI, Lam Research could have a long and healthy path to growth. Analog Devices pushed toward new all-time highs after solid earnings gave investors confidence that the analog cycle is now beyond its bottom. Earnings growth was the clear engine of the market's advance in 2025. Forward S&P 500 earnings are projected to rise 16% in 2026 over 2025. Bloomberg projects S&P 500 EPS growth of 16% in 2026, up from 15% in 2025 with 7 of 11 sectors expected to deliver double-digit gains.
