Hyperscalers are approaching 90% of operating cash flows for CapEx spending, creating natural constraints on future growth rates. Quality factors including sales stability and high gross margins continued to underperform in 2025 as markets favored cyclical and momentum-driven assets. The portfolio's quality growth companies are trading at historically attractive relative valuations. Market leadership was dominated by momentum and cyclical assets while quality growth strategies faced headwinds. Extreme concentration and momentum effects created significant winners and losers independent of company fundamentals. | INFY NOW ARM MELI MSFT SE NFLX AVGO 9983 JP TSM GOOG |

The portfolio is positioned to capture AI value through companies providing essential intellectual property and manufacturing capability for the AI ecosystem, including TSMC, Arm Holdings, SAP, and Dassault Systemes. The portfolio focuses on high-conviction quality growth businesses anticipated to achieve consistent mid-teens earnings growth with reduced variability. Despite market headwinds favoring cyclical assets, SGA maintains conviction in quality companies with predictable revenue and cash flow generation that should become more sought after if market volatility increases. New positions were established in Sea Limited and Grab Holdings, both Southeast Asian consumer internet companies with integrated ecosystems. Sea operates Shopee e-commerce platform with integrated payments and logistics, while Grab provides super-app services for ride-hailing, food delivery, and digital payments across Southeast Asia. | TEAM ARM DSY FP SRT GR 9983 JP |

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. Both companies are on pace to set new highs in revenue and profitability driven by credit market conditions fueling widespread growth in debt issuance across the economy. | BRK.B AON MSFT V MCO HEI AMZN |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 29, 2026 | Weitz Partners III Opportunity Fund | 0.7% | 3.2% | AMZN, AON, BRK-A, CHTR, DHR, EEFT, GOOGL, GPN, IEX, KMX, LBRDA, LH, MA, META, MSFT, ROP, SIRI, TECH, TMO, V | AI, Biotechnology, contrarian, healthcare, Long/Short, technology, value | The fund owned several companies deemed AI Winners including Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon and Meta Platforms, averaging roughly 16% of Fund assets in 2025. Google's latest Gemini AI release surpassed expectations with benchmarks showing performance moved to the front of the pack. The fund's deep value stocks averaging roughly 16% of portfolio assets had a disproportionately negative impact on returns in 2025. As value-oriented investors, the managers are comfortable taking contrarian positions but must be clear-eyed about how companies' prospects change. The portfolio's life sciences investments representing roughly 18% of average assets experienced a lost year in 2025. The industry began with pressure on research budgets and heightened scrutiny of healthcare apparatus, reorienting around a new normal before organic growth pickup spurred a rally. | BRK.B PRM CHTR KMX GOOGL |

AI optimism drove strong performance in information technology and communication services sectors, with hundreds of billions in AI-related capital spending supporting stocks like Micron and Sandisk. The fund continues to find attractive opportunities among high-quality, cash-generative businesses with defensive characteristics including Colgate, Aon and Berkshire Hathaway. These fundamentally stable businesses underperformed in 2025 but continue to perform in-line with expectations. The portfolio focuses on fundamentally stable, higher quality businesses trading at discounts to intrinsic value estimates. New positions like Dover Corp were initiated when stocks traded at significant discounts to estimated intrinsic value. | EQT SOLV WIX DOV COO SYY LH ZTS COF AIG GM |

The portfolio trades at an attractive valuation of 14.6 times forward earnings, representing a significant discount to the S&P 500 at 22.9 times. The fund continues to find opportunities where long-term fundamentals are not fully reflected in current prices. The fund reduced its overall weighting in the Financials sector while shifting exposure across industries. They trimmed more cyclical bank holdings like Wells Fargo and Bank of America, while increasing exposure to insurance brokers and alternative asset managers. Despite headwinds, they added to Fiserv as its valuation compressed significantly. | FISV |
