| 2025 Q4 | Jan 26, 2026 | Davis Financial Fund | 0.0% | 29.3% | AXP, BAER.SW, BK, BRK-A, CB, COF, D05.SI, DIS, FI, FITB, JPM, MKL, PNC, RE, RKT, RNR, USB, WFC | Banking, capital, financials, insurance, regulation, returns, value | Banks continue to represent the majority of holdings with strong tailwinds across credit, spreads, expenses, and regulation. Interest spreads have begun widening as fixed rate assets roll over at higher yields, revealing attractive economics of low-cost deposit franchises. Many banks are generating returns on tangible equity in the mid-to-high teens with management targets suggesting sustainability in the medium term. Capital markets firms were among the drivers of S&P Financials Index performance and contributed to fund outperformance. The regulatory environment has been moving in a favorable direction with capital rules being finalized that are far less onerous than under the prior administration. Regulators are more willing to consider M&A transactions with relief on certain supervisory limitations. Property & casualty reinsurers were added to the portfolio as capital was redeployed from trimmed bank positions. Pricing trends in insurance markets have been strong in recent years. Chubb has consistently generated returns on equity comfortably ahead of the industry owing to advantaged lines of business with disciplined underwriting and operating culture. Payments and consumer lending companies were the biggest contributors to relative performance including Capital One, American Express and Rocket Companies. Capital One's transformational acquisition of Discover Financial closed with anticipated annual cost synergies of $1.5 billion and network synergies of $1.2 billion from transitioning card volumes into Discover's networks. Financial stock valuations have begun to reset higher with price-to-tangible book value multiples expanding by over 70% on average in the past three years. The portfolio in aggregate is valued at approximately 13x this year's earnings, representing a significant discount to both the broader S&P 500 Index and S&P Financials Index. | CB WFC COF |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 13, 2026 | Oakmark Fund- International Small Cap | 1.5% | 29.4% | 1128.HK, 4194.T, AZE.BR, BAER.SW, GXI.DE, JDEP.AS, KCR1V.HE, MEDX.SW, METSO.HE, TMV.DE | Europe, Industrial, international, small cap, software, value | The fund's top contributor Konecranes demonstrated strong performance with record earnings driven by margin improvement across all divisions and meaningful order intake increases in equipment divisions. The company raised 2025 financial guidance and maintains a leading position in lifting equipment and related services supportive of long-term profitable growth. TeamViewer was the top detractor after reporting underwhelming results and lowering annual recurring revenue guidance due to general weakness and integration challenges with its 1E acquisition. Despite temporary headwinds, the company is trading at an extremely attractive valuation according to the managers. New purchase Visional operates BizReach, a rapidly growing three-sided platform connecting employers, headhunters and job seekers that is disrupting the traditional headhunter market. The company benefits from secular tailwinds from increased job switching and has excellent management making sound long-term investments. | 4194 JP TMV GR KCR FH |
