| 2025 Q4 | Feb 3, 2026 | John Hancock Bond Fund Class I | 1.0% | 7.7% | AAL, BAC, DELL, F, FMCC, FNMA, JPM, WFC | Bonds, credit, duration, Fed policy, fixed income, Mortgage | The fund maintained significant overweight positions in agency MBS, focusing on middle coupon stack securities (4.0% to 5.5% coupons) for higher income and prepayment protection. Agency MBS was the top performing market segment and remained attractive versus corporates despite tightening spreads. The managers reduced allocations to investment-grade and high-yield corporates due to very tight yield spreads versus history. They focused on optimizing income through security selection rather than adding material risk given current tight valuations. The Fed enacted two quarter-point rate cuts in Q4, bringing total 2025 reductions to 75 basis points. The fund maintained neutral duration positioning and retained bias for yield curve steepening through intermediate-term overweights. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 3, 2026 | Fidelity Freedom 2055 Fund | 3.8% | 23.7% | BAC, GEV, UPS, WFC | asset allocation, diversification, equities, global, target date, Valuations | The fund emphasizes portfolio diversification as a key strategy, particularly highlighting the need for diversification in fixed income and inflation-resistant assets to hedge against macro risks including government debt, global fragmentation, aging demographics and new technology impacts. The fund views elevated asset valuations, particularly for U.S. stocks, as providing little cushion against near-term risks. However, they believe valuations outside of the AI epicenter are reasonable, with many sectors showing improving growth expectations. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 20, 2026 | Aquamarine Fund | 0.0% | 0.0% | 1211.HK, AXP, BAC, BRK-A, EXO.MI, IEX.NS, MA, MC.PA, MCO, NESN.SW, RACE | Compounding, global, Health, large cap, liquidation, Quality, value | The manager emphasizes shifting toward durable, time-friendly compounders where time is our friend and the range of outcomes runs from decent to superb with very low chance of permanent loss. He focuses on companies that can rinse, repeat, and grind through, moving away from binary outcomes toward inevitable businesses. The portfolio review demonstrates a value-oriented approach, learning from masters like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. The manager reverse-engineered thinking from successful value investors and applied similar principles to find undervalued companies with strong fundamentals across various markets. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 12, 2026 | Bretton Fund | 1.4% | 11.6% | AXP, AZO, BAC, BRK-B, DFH, EXP, GOOGL, JPM, MA, MCO, MSFT, NVR, PGR, ROST, RVTY, SPGI, TJX, UNH, UNP, V | AI, Banking, consumer, financials, Housing, technology, value | The fund views the overall market as fairly elevated but not in bubble territory regarding AI, though some parts of the AI craze appear bubble-like. Alphabet's AI chatbot Gemini exceeded expectations and was on par with leading AI models, contributing significantly to performance. The managers are comfortable missing out on highly speculative AI investments while focusing on long-term value. Banks had a strong year due to increased lending, reduced regulation, and moderately high interest rates. American Express cardholders continue spending with high payment rates, while the Platinum Card remains desirable despite competition. Credit and banking environment remained strong throughout the period. Off-price retailers TJX and Ross returned to form after struggling during post-Covid inflation, with strong stock performance. AutoZone faced challenges navigating tariff impacts on earnings, though the consolidated auto parts retail market historically passes through price increases. Consumer spending patterns showed resilience in certain segments. Housing investments had a weak year as high interest rates and hopes for lower rates left potential buyers on the sidelines. Home builders initially held up well when rates first rose in 2022, but continued high rates eventually impacted demand. The managers expect pent-up housing demand to eventually drive performance once the market unfreezes. | RVTY GOOG UNH |

The race is for AGI, with wealth accruing to whoever reaches it first. Big Tech's AI spending accounts for roughly 90% of corporate capex and contributes an estimated half of total U.S. GDP growth in 2025. TSMC represents a durable bottleneck in the infrastructure layer—the point of least slack in the global silicon supply chain. All roads lead to TSMC, with approximately 67% share of global foundry revenue and roughly 90% share of leading-edge nodes. Alphabet's cloud business made meaningful progress with revenue expected to reach approximately $57 billion (+32% YoY), while operating profit is projected to nearly double. Revenue backlog is growing faster than reported revenue, underscoring the persistent supply-demand imbalance. By designing proprietary silicon and committing to capital outlays for data centers on a financial scale attainable by only a handful of nation-states, these firms have constructed a physical moat that is, for all practical purposes, unreplicable. On Holding represents a play on the growing scarcity of the real. As digital marketing becomes commoditized and AI floods the world with generic content, value migrates toward physical community and technical prestige. On is selling membership in a curated, physical ecosystem that AI cannot replicate. | AMRZ HOLN SW NU ONON BRK.B TSM GOOGL |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 28, 2026 | Fidelity Freedom 2045 Fund | 3.7% | 23.8% | BAC, GEV, UPS, WFC | asset allocation, diversification, equities, fixed income, global, Target-Date | The fund emphasizes portfolio diversification as a key strategy to navigate macro-oriented themes including government debt, global fragmentation, aging demographics and new technology. Diversification in fixed income and inflation-resistant assets remains attractive to hedge these risks. Active risk is at the low end of the historical range based on elevated asset valuations, particularly for U.S. stocks, which provide little cushion against near-term economic and geopolitical risk. Valuations outside of the AI epicenter are considered reasonable. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 24, 2026 | Miller Howard Investments | - | - | AAPL, AMZN, BAC, BRK-B, GOOG, GOOGL, JNJ, JPM, META, MSFT, NVDA, PG, TSLA, WMT, XOM | Concentration, dividends, Indices, Magnificent 7, nuclear, SMRs, value | The US is on the cusp of a nuclear renaissance driven by rising electricity demand, policy support, and emerging technologies like small modular reactors. Nuclear capacity could quadruple by 2050, though regulatory, economic, and execution risks remain significant challenges. Miller/Howard maintains strict dividend focus across portfolios, avoiding Magnificent 7 stocks in income-oriented strategies. The firm emphasizes high current income and growth of income as core differentiators in an increasingly concentrated market. Index reconstitutions have compromised style integrity by adding growth-oriented Magnificent 7 stocks to value indices. This creates concentration risk and challenges traditional value investing principles based on lower valuations and higher dividend yields. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 18, 2026 | Dodge & Cox Stock Fund | 2.5% | 13.7% | AON, AVTR, BAC, BK, BN, CHTR, CMCSA, CVS, FDX, FI, GILD, GOOGL, GSK, JCI, MET, MSFT, OXY, REGN, RTX, SCHW, TSM, WFC, WTW | contrarian, financials, industrials, technology, valuation, value | The fund maintains its value-oriented investment approach despite a fully valued U.S. equity market. 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 |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 18, 2026 | Parnassus Value Equity Fund | 5.4% | 19.0% | A, AMD, BAC, BALL, BK, CBRE, CMCSA, CMI, CMS, DE, GOOGL, GPN, HD, JPM, MA, MSFT, MU, NICE, NVO, ORCL, REGN, SCHW, SPGI, SYY, WDC, WM | AI, financials, healthcare, large cap, Quality, technology, value | The broadening AI megatrend continues to fuel demand across sectors, with AI developments boosting returns particularly in Industrials. The manager believes AI has potential to impact every sector over time, driving productivity gains and business model innovation across a much broader range of industries than currently appreciated by investors. Value stocks outperformed growth stocks in Q4 as high market valuations for growth stocks create attractive risk/reward potential in value stocks. The manager expects the current market environment to continue favoring value stocks given elevated growth stock valuations and relatively benign economic backdrop. Strong growth in distribution and power systems segments driven by data center demand, with companies like Cummins benefiting from robust sales results. Data center demand is supporting performance across multiple portfolio holdings. | WM HD WDC |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 15, 2026 | Columbia Dividend Opportunity Fund | 2.8% | 15.9% | ABBV, ALB, BAC, BLK, BRX, C, CSCO, DRI, GOOGL, GPC, GPS, GS, HD, IBM, IP, JNJ, JPM, LUV, MCD, MO, MRK, MU, PM, QRVO, SBUX, SWKS, T, UDR, XOM | AI, Banking, dividends, financials, Lithium, technology, value, Yield | The fund focuses on companies with historically consistent and increasing dividends, though dividend stocks generally underperformed during the quarter as investors favored speculative companies over defensive characteristics. The manager maintains a positive view on dividend-paying stocks as an out-of-favor segment largely devoid of speculative activity. The market remained supported by ongoing enthusiasm about the artificial intelligence theme, though there was a brief stretch of concern in November about a possible AI bubble. The manager sees potential for improved relative performance if excitement surrounding AI begins to cool. The quarter was characterized by broadening market leadership away from mega-cap technology companies, contributing to relative strength in the value style. The fund's investment universe offers fundamentally sound companies trading with attractive yields and reasonable valuations. A new position in mandatory convertible securities of lithium producer Albermarle made a sizable contribution as lithium prices rose due to reduced supply from China, and market participants became more optimistic about the metal's potential use in energy storage applications. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 14, 2026 | Hardman Johnston Global Equity | 2.9% | 0.0% | 6501.T, AMZN, BAC, C, CCO, CTVA, EL, ELAN, GOOGL, HDFCBANK.NS, LLY, MELI, META, PRX.AS, RHM.DE, STAN.L, TMUS, UBER, VRT, VRTX | AI, banks, Data centers, defense, financials, global, nuclear, technology | The manager sees AI as having long-term potential to drive productivity gains and positions to take advantage of that growth. However, they remain cautious about AI becoming the only game in town and continue to monitor exposure closely. They note that excitement about AI has stretched beyond IT into energy, utilities and other businesses in the AI value chain, creating concentration risk. The manager remains positive on defense fundamentals and long-term growth potential despite sporadic pullbacks. They see a clear structural shift toward defense after years of underinvestment, with visible growth stretching years into the future through strong orders, high backlogs, and political will to invest in national security. Banks were leading sector contributors with strong performance from Standard Chartered and Citigroup. Standard Chartered benefits from wealth management platform growth and cross-border services, while Citigroup's transformation strategy is paying off with improved deal activity and better regulatory environment expected in 2026. The manager re-entered Vertiv given the long-term secular data center infrastructure story and strong fundamentals. They reference approximately 100GW of incremental data-center capacity additions from 2024-2029, representing meaningful revenue upside for companies with global presence in thermal and electrical equipment. The manager initiated a position in Cameco, citing structural shifts away from Russian uranium sourcing and reinvigorated nuclear development due to AI energy needs and low carbon merits. Westinghouse's agreement with the US Department of Commerce to support at least $80bn of new reactor construction materially increases earnings power. Estée Lauder drove Consumer Staples performance as the company progresses through its turnaround with outperformance in sales, margins, China, US and Travel Retail. Beauty overall is described as one of the more resilient categories enjoying both volume and value growth, with luxury beauty positioned well in the K-shaped economy. | VRTX TMUS CTVA VRT HDB ELAN CCJ 6501 JP LLY MELI UBER RHM GR EL C |

Largest firms have significant network effects and competitive advantages, with high barriers-to-entry. Companies trading at significant discount to intrinsic value. Strong balance sheets and capital levels indicate enduring competitive advantages. Attractive businesses to take advantage of recovery cycles. Accelerating demographic changes in the US producing strong underlying housing growth. More capital light business models minimize big boom and busts, and increase returns on invested capital. Broader pricing strength supportive of suppliers. Industry capital allocation discipline with emphasis on accelerated cash distributions to shareholders. Favorable demand-supply dynamics after industry consolidation and strategic players. | MKL |
