This enthusiasm helped propel mega-cap tech stocks higher and drive market gains. However, scrutiny increased around AI-related revenue circularity, massive capital spending scale, and durability of longer-term returns on investment. Trade relations between the U.S. and China remained a key market focus. Tensions flared with tariff escalations and export controls, with China expanding export controls on rare earth minerals and the U.S. threatening 100% tariffs in retaliation. President Trump and President Xi ultimately reached a one-year trade truce at the APEC summit. The Federal Reserve implemented two 0.25% interest rate cuts during the quarter, lowering the federal funds target range to 3.50%-3.75%. Fed Chair Powell emphasized a data-dependent approach, acknowledging risks to both sides of the Fed's dual mandate and maintaining a cautious stance going into 2026. Value stocks handily outperformed growth stocks with the Russell 1000 Value Index outperforming its Growth counterpart by 2.69% in the quarter. However, for the full year, the Russell 1000 Growth Index outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index by 2.65%, reflecting continued growth leadership despite quarterly value outperformance. | CBSH COF PH UBER SONY |

The managers position themselves as contrarians, being greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy. They believe deeply out of favor parts of the index like healthcare, energy and homebuilders could receive money coming out of growth stocks. Higher rates have continued to weigh on the homebuilder space as well as an increase in inventory. The fund regards homebuilders' capacity to maintain construction activity throughout the cycle as a key competitive strength, with less resilient competitors likely to exit the market during prolonged cyclical downturns. | View | |
