Current large language models suffer from hallucinations but are likely just an opening phase. If AI advances in biotechnology, materials, and energy, the future could be very interesting. The U.S. stock market has been in bubble territory for a prolonged period, defined as a two-standard deviation divergence above long-term real price trend. Unlike every bubble before it, this one has yet to fully deflate despite classic signs of a historic bubble top. Hyperscalers spent nearly $300 billion on capital expenditures in 2025, with AI investment accounting for 1.3% of U.S. GDP. Cumulative spending on U.S. data centers is estimated to reach $3-5 trillion by 2029-2030, representing massive overcommitment of capital. Nvidia is currently the world's most valuable company, exceeding the entire Japanese stock market. The AI boom has created unprecedented demand for chips, with companies stretching depreciation schedules despite ongoing technological progress that should shorten useful chip lives. There has been a surge in aggressive speculative behavior with commission-free trading, plentiful margin loans, and leveraged ETFs. Zero-day options now make up over 60% of all S&P 500 options, alongside the GameStop meme stock craze and cryptocurrency rise. By every historically effective valuation metric, U.S. equities are extremely overpriced. The CAPE of 40 is above any level seen outside the internet bubble peak, with the market cap to GDP ratio at all-time highs and record proportions trading at over 10 times sales. | HUBS |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 21, 2026 | The London Company Income Equity | -1.6% | 13.5% | BLK, CMI, CSCO, FAST, GLW, NTDOY | Defensive, dividends, income, large cap, Quality, value | AI investment scrutiny emerged as a headwind during the quarter, with concerns about AI returns affecting market sentiment. However, AI momentum accelerated for companies like Cisco, driven by GenAI-related products and increasing data speed and bandwidth requirements both inside and outside data centers. Data center demand drove strong performance for portfolio holdings, with Cummins benefiting from backup power requirements and Corning seeing strong demand in Optical Communications for GenAI-related products. The market recognizes few global suppliers capable of supporting large-scale data center infrastructure needs. The Income Equity strategy maintains a focus on higher overall dividend yield orientation, emphasizing income generation alongside capital preservation and growth. The portfolio is designed to provide greater yield and downside protection through dividend-paying securities. Quality factors were headwinds during the quarter as Value factors led performance, but the portfolio maintains its tilt toward quality attributes. The manager believes quality characteristics like high returns on invested capital, conservative leverage, and reasonable valuations will provide more resilient performance through shifting market regimes. | BLK NTDOY GLW CSCO CMI |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 21, 2026 | The London Company Large Cap | 0.2% | 8.3% | BLK, CB, FDX, FI, GOOG, NEU, NSC, RSG | dividends, financials, healthcare, large cap, Quality, technology, value | The manager emphasizes investing in profitable, financially stable, quality large-cap companies with high returns on unleveraged operating capital, strong cash generation, and conservative leverage. Quality factors were headwinds during Q4 as volatility factors outperformed, but the manager believes the environment is becoming more conducive to fundamentals where earnings growth, dividends, and balance-sheet strength matter more than valuation multiple expansion. Value outperformed Growth across the market cap spectrum during Q4, with value factors being the primary driver of returns, led by stocks trading at lower prices relative to sales and book value. The manager sees growing value in true active share and diversified exposure to high-quality businesses in a market defined by elevated valuations and concentration risk. The manager focuses on companies with strong capital allocation and dividend-paying capabilities. Several portfolio holdings like Chubb and BlackRock are highlighted for their steady capital returns and aggressive buyback programs, reinforcing the emphasis on shareholder-oriented management and consistent dividend policies. | RSG NSC BLK NEU FI CB FDX GOOG |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 20, 2026 | Madison Dividend Income Fund | -0.2% | 8.3% | AAPL, AMZN, AVGO, BLK, CME, CVX, GOOGL, HON, JNJ, MDT, META, MS, MSFT, NEE, NVDA, TSLA, UNP, XOM | defensives, dividends, income, large cap, Quality, value | The fund focuses on high-quality, above-average dividend yield stocks with sustainable competitive advantages. Portfolio holdings increased dividends by 6% on average over the past year, well above inflation rates. The fund's absolute portfolio dividend yield of 2.53% compares favorably to 1.12% for the S&P 500. Many dividend paying companies are historically cheap compared to the broad market. The relative yield of the Dividend Income Fund was 2.25x the S&P 500 at year-end, at the very high end of historical ranges. The equal weight S&P 500 is trading at just half the valuation level of the S&P 500. The fund maintains a high-quality portfolio with strong balance sheets that could protect on the downside in a market correction. 94% of fund holdings are rated A- or better by Standard & Poor's, which compares favorably to the S&P 500 at 35% and the Russell 1000 Value at 22%. | View | |
| 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 | Emerald Wealth Partners – Focused Equity Strategy | 2.1% | 13.2% | 1179.HK, 8035.T, AHT.L, AMAT, AMZN, ASML, AVGO, BLK, CB, CSU.TO, DE, DEO, GOOGL, LMT, LSEG.L, MSFT, NOW, ORCL, SHEL, TMO | AI, China, Quality, semiconductors, technology, Trade Policy, value | AI dominated 2025 with massive data center investment announcements including OpenAI's $300 billion commitment and Meta's five-gigawatt Hyperion data center. The manager sees AI driving demand for semiconductor tools and custom chips, positioning companies like Applied Materials, ASML, and Broadcom to benefit from the infrastructure buildout. Semiconductor companies were top performers with Applied Materials up 59.6% and ASML up 55.8%. The manager emphasizes the bright prospects for chip design tools given silicon requirements for AI deployment, while also initiating Broadcom for its custom chip capabilities serving cloud hyperscalers. Trump announced the highest tariffs since the 1930s, with effective rates settling around 17% after negotiations. This triggered initial market corrections but companies adapted by flexing supply chains, with macroeconomic consequences remaining benign on inflation and GDP fronts. China had a strong year with the Hang Seng up 32% as investors warmed to signals that regulatory tightening was over. Chinese tech companies demonstrated ability to deploy AI efficiently at lower costs despite GPU restrictions, while valuations became attractive after years of consolidation. The manager focuses on high-quality compounders trading at discounts after being left out of the AI rally. They target companies generating strong free cash flow with high ROIC that can redeploy capital effectively, finding opportunities in unloved sectors and geographies like Swiss stocks at multi-year valuation lows. | View | |
