Potential tailwinds include deregulation, lower corporate tax rates, increased M&A activity, continued reshoring of U.S. manufacturing and infrastructure-related spending. Value stocks outperformed growth counterparts during the quarter as the Russell 2000 Value Index returned 3.26% compared to 1.22% for growth. Lower-quality companies outperformed higher-quality companies with factors like high bankruptcy risk, low sales growth, and low price to earnings having the strongest payoffs. MACOM Technology Solutions, a designer and manufacturer of high-performance semiconductor products, was a top contributor with strong quarterly results. The company has meaningful exposure to growing demand from Data Center and 5G end market applications along with domestic manufacturing footprint. Healthcare was the best-performing sector at +18.54% during the quarter. The fund holds positions in companies like Haemonetics in blood management and Acadia Healthcare in behavioral health services, though maintains an underweight allocation as it avoids biotechnology companies due to binary risk. The fund added positions in regional banks including Atlantic Union Bankshares and WesBanco, viewing DOGE-related concerns as creating attractive opportunities. These banks benefit from diversified customer bases, growing market share, and solid balance sheets positioned for trust and deposit opportunities. The fund holds positions in companies supporting power grid modernization through Itron's smart metering solutions and IDACORP's transmission opportunities. These companies are positioned to benefit from critical regional transmission opportunities and grid monitoring solutions. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 4, 2026 | Aristotle Small/Mid Cap Equity | 2.3% | 3.0% | AEIS, AER, AGI, AHCO, AUB, BJ, BKU, CIEN, DY, EHC, HASI, HMN, HQY, HURN, IDA, ITRI, MTSI, NOVT, PRGO, PWP, UGI, WWW | Banking, healthcare, industrials, small cap, technology, Utilities, value | AI-related demand is driving strong performance for optical networking equipment manufacturers like Ciena, which is dominating market share for scale across data center projects in 2026. The quarter began with concerns about a potential AI capital expenditures bubble affecting market sentiment. Power grid modernization efforts are driving demand for smart metering and grid monitoring solutions. Companies like Itron are well-positioned to benefit from these infrastructure investments despite some regulatory approval delays. Continued reshoring of U.S. manufacturing is identified as a potential tailwind for small/mid-cap stocks. This trend supports domestic manufacturing capabilities and creates opportunities for industrial companies. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 25, 2026 | SouthernSun Small Cap | 2.6% | 5.4% | AEIS, BOOT, CSW, CXT, DAR, DORM, DY, EXTR, KAI, LPX, TKR, USPH | AI, energy, fundamentals, risk, small caps, valuation, value | Manager draws extensive parallels between today's AI-driven market environment and the 2014-15 oil collapse, warning that AI has become a macroeconomic assumption embedded in capital expenditure plans and valuation models. AI infrastructure faces energy constraints with data centers becoming massive electricity consumers, while rising power costs and grid limitations challenge assumptions of frictionless scalability. Markets may be conflating transformational potential with near-term certainty, creating valuation risk similar to past cycles. Energy plays a central role in the manager's analysis, both as a historical lesson from 2014-15 oil collapse and as a current constraint on AI infrastructure. Data centers have become massive electricity consumers with economics highly sensitive to power pricing and grid reliability. Rising electricity prices in data-center-heavy regions and utility challenges in expanding capacity create physical constraints that complicate AI scalability assumptions. The portfolio focuses on small-cap businesses that are performing well fundamentally with strong balance sheets, resilient cash flows, and improved competitive positions. The manager emphasizes owning businesses that can compound value over time rather than speculation, though acknowledges markets don't always reward fundamentals on a linear schedule. Portfolio positioning reflects discipline in finding mispriced companies relative to long-term intrinsic value. | TKR DY DORM KAI CSW DAR AEIS |

The small cap environment was characterized by narrow performance driven by low-quality, speculative stocks, with the top 25 contributors delivering over 50% of benchmark returns. The investment environment overwhelmingly favored lower quality stocks, with non-earners gaining 19.6%, negative equity stocks up 37.2%, and highest beta names advancing 26.1%. The fund's deliberate focus on higher-quality stocks with earnings support was a general headwind throughout the year. Artificial intelligence investment was a key area of market focus during 2025, though the fund questioned when investors would see returns from billions of dollars spent on AI infrastructure. The fund avoided speculative AI plays in favor of companies with more established fundamentals. Uncertain trade policy and the friction it added to the system was the biggest distraction during 2025. Companies now mostly have a sense of the rules of global trade and are adjusting, which could provide more stability going forward. | View | |

Small caps benefited from dovish Fed rhetoric, attractive relative valuations, broadening market breadth, earnings recovery, and rotation away from mega-cap stocks.
