| 2025 Q4 | Jan 21, 2026 | NCG Micro Cap Growth Strategy | 6.4% | 11.9% | AAOI, AGX, AII.TO, ALKT, AMPX, AMSC, ATEC, AVPT, AXGN, BLND, INOD, INTA, PHAT, PL, PSNL, TATT, TCMD, UAMY, UTI | active management, Biotechnology, growth, Microcap, Quality, small caps, underperformance | The firm emphasizes investing in high-quality growth companies with proven business models and sustainable growth drivers. They note that quality factors worked against active managers in 2025, with low-quality stocks significantly outperforming. The S&P 600 Growth Index, which requires profitability and has market cap constraints, returned only 5.4% versus Russell 2000/Microcap Growth at 13% and 22% respectively. Biotech was a significant area of outperformance that the firm avoided, contributing approximately 8 points to the Russell Microcap Growth Index's 21.84% return. The firm maintains low or no exposure to biotech, viewing many business models as unproven despite strong recent performance. This sector constituted almost all of the relative underperformance from their microcap strategy. The firm sees improving conditions for small cap performance, with earnings growth turning positive in 2025 and expected to accelerate in 2026. Small caps historically benefit during Fed rate-cutting cycles and continue to trade at a relative discount to large caps. Combined with an improving fundamental backdrop, they believe there's opportunity for this discount to narrow. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 21, 2026 | Meridian Small Cap Growth Fund | 0.9% | 0.0% | ALKT, AMPL, AXGN, CCSI, CDNA, CERT, GPCR, KEX, RELY, TPB, VCYT, VNOM, ZNAS | Biotechnology, growth, healthcare, Quality, small caps, technology, value | Healthcare was the portfolio's largest allocation and top-performing sector for the quarter. The manager continues to view the sector as undervalued relative to long-term fundamentals, noting it has lagged the broader market over the last four years. Multiple biotech holdings contributed positively, including Structure Therapeutics with promising obesity therapy trials, Axogen with peripheral nerve regeneration technology, and Zenas BioPharma with autoimmune disease treatments in Phase 3 trials. The fund emphasizes investing in high-quality businesses with recurring revenue, sustainable competitive advantages, strong balance sheets, and clear visibility into sustainable earnings growth. This quality bias created a modest headwind during the quarter as lower-quality stocks outperformed. | ZBIO AXGN GPCR RELY CERT CCSI EXAS TNDM GMED RELY DOCS CERT |
