| 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 18, 2026 | The Gabelli International Small Cap Fund | 5.1% | 39.6% | 4617.T, 7012.T, AGI, CHG.L, EGO, EURN, GENI, MOLHF, PRU.AX, SFM.SW, TAMP.MI, WGX.AX | defense, Europe, gold, international, Japan, small caps | Gold equity holdings were the top contributors to performance, with multiple gold miners including Westgold Resources, Endeavour Mining, Eldorado Gold, and Perseus Mining driving returns. Gold is undergoing a longer-term revaluation as a monetary alternative amid elevated sovereign debt levels and shifting geopolitical alliances. Defense spending increases are supporting companies like Chemring Group and Kawasaki Heavy Industries. Japan plans to double defense spending by 2035, while European defense expenditures are rising due to security concerns. The fund added Japanese defense-related companies including Chugoku Marine Paints and Namura Shipbuilding. International equities benefited from investors diversifying from mega-cap U.S. technology companies. Dollar weakness supported returns, with the DXY Index declining about 9% during 2025. Valuations between U.S. and international markets had become stretched in favor of non-U.S. equities. | 4617 JP |
