However, an MIT study found 95% of generative AI pilots failing to deliver measurable returns, raising concerns about overinvestment similar to the dot-com era. Supply demand dynamics favored US stocks with $1.1 trillion in total stock buybacks versus only $46 billion in IPOs.

Over 100 countries dramatically increased defense spending in 2025, providing a boost for the aerospace and defense sector. Jet engine production and maintenance soared, benefiting firms like Parker Hannifin, GE, RTX and Berkshire's Precision Castparts. In the fourth quarter, investors shifted toward undervalued, high-quality companies with strong free cash flow yields. Healthcare led with an 11.25% catch-up return as its valuation metrics remain at a significant discount to the broader market. Larger banks enjoyed steepening yield curves and robust capital markets activity, with Bank of New York and Citigroup showing strong fundamentals at cheap valuations.

Portfolio holdings Regeneron and TEVA provided positive pipeline updates and were among largest contributors as regulatory clarity emerged around previously uncertain policies. Huntington Ingalls Industries, the largest US Naval shipbuilder, was a standout 2025 performer after working through post-COVID supply chain issues. The company benefits from US Navy's commitment to rapidly expand the fleet and prospects for further margin gains.

Concerns mounted around ever-increasing capex outlays and financing of sizable capex commitments. The commoditized see-saw battle among five major LLMs for next generation model leadership continues. The Fund focuses on dividend-paying stocks and benefited from M&A activity and a large position in gold miner Newmont. Despite a modestly defensive posture throughout 2025, the Fund benefited from appreciating stocks that were sized as larger positions. Gold had its best year with the price of gold benefiting the Fund's position in gold miner Newmont, which was one of the top contributors.

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence may drive significant long-term productivity gains and provide a counterweight to softening employment conditions and inflationary pressures. Value stocks outperformed growth counterparts in Q4, with the Russell 3000 Value Index gaining 3.8% versus 1.1% for growth. The team sees intriguing investment opportunities in value-oriented stocks that are being largely ignored, creating an attractive backdrop for stock pickers. Strong demand for data centers has accelerated sales for companies like Eaton Corporation. The buildout of AI-associated data centers is driving increased demand and margin improvements for companies benefiting from this infrastructure spend. The need for upgraded electric grids has accelerated demand for Eaton's products. The process of electrification and grid investment should provide improvements in ROIC along with additional benefits from AI infrastructure spend. | ETN SEE |

The manager emphasizes attractive valuations outside the Magnificent 7, with the S&P 500 excluding these stocks trading at 18x forward P/E versus a 35-year average of 17.4x. The fund focuses on undervalued quality businesses with strong fundamentals. Software is the portfolio's largest industry exposure on both absolute and relative basis. The manager views prospects of select software companies as highly compelling, citing sticky customer bases, recurring revenues, and predictable businesses. Major purchases included Workday and Salesforce, which trade at discounts to their own history despite being higher quality businesses. The portfolio's banks returned 13% compared to 6% for the index in Q4, with an average weight of 12% that returned nearly 40% for the year. The manager took capital out of the group as valuations increased. Banks were the top contributing industry to relative performance both quarterly and annually. The portfolio remains overweight in healthcare, noting the sector's return is about half that of the rest of the market over the past decade. Healthcare's P/E ratio is less than 80% of the broad market's P/E, trading at a deeper discount only 8% of the time since 1990. The manager views this as an attractive opportunity given the quality of businesses and growth prospects. Energy exposure spans both exploration & production companies as well as oilfield services. While these businesses are not as structurally attractive as software or healthcare, energy remains among the most attractively valued areas of the portfolio. The group trades at less than 7x normal earnings and offers an expected free cash flow yield of 11%. | View | |

They avoid speculative areas where reward for taking risks is insufficient relative to potential returns. The strategy has generated equity-like returns while placing equal importance on capital preservation and appreciation over 30 years. The fund is actively investing in small to mid-cap global securities, believing the investment community is casting its gaze away from these market constituents that offer asymmetric risk-reward for those willing to look forward three to five years. Recent purchases demonstrate their commitment to this thesis. The fund discusses AI extensively through Microsoft's transformation and growth prospects. They analyze how AI/cloud developments transformed Microsoft's business model and examine the massive revenue growth required for current AI valuations to make sense, questioning whether Microsoft can add revenue equivalent to multiple major software companies combined. | MSFT |

The manager believes AI's greatest impact will come from companies using it as an input to improve operations rather than those selling AI products. Many dividend-paying companies in labor-intensive industries could benefit significantly from AI adoption through process automation and efficiency gains. The portfolio focuses on high dividend yields approximately 3x the S&P 500, with strong dividend coverage ratios and projected dividend growth. Six companies increased dividends in the quarter, led by MPLX with a 13% increase. The strategy emphasizes collecting high and rising dividends while compounding real cash returns through disciplined reinvestment. The portfolio trades at significant discounts to the broad market, with P/E ratios 40-42% below the S&P 500. The manager believes many steady-growing companies are overlooked by markets focused on AI winners, creating opportunities in businesses with lower assumed margins and productivity that could benefit from AI adoption. | View | |

Most holdings have made reasonable progress growing their bases of paying customers and distributable cash flows to support multi-year dividend growth. The portfolio trades at attractive valuations with a weighted harmonic average 2025 consensus P/E ratio of 14.3x, well below the MSCI All Country World Index's 21.6x. The manager believes these businesses are valued very attractively relative to their own histories and other assets, incorporating significant intrinsic value.

AI darling Nvidia was up 38.87% after a 171.17% gain the prior year. A gold rush mindset developed across the AI ecosystem with fervor spreading to speculative corners of the market. In 2025, 36 of the Value & Income Fund's 42 holdings increased their dividends by an average of 7% year-over-year. Companies like McDonald's, Exxon Mobil, Fidelity National Financial, and Becton-Dickinson continued their annual streak of dividend enhancements at 49, 43, 10, and 54 years respectively. In 2025, 30 of the Value & Income Fund's holdings reduced their share count via buybacks by 1.2% on average. Companies are taking advantage of discounted valuations to accelerate buyback pace and return capital to shareholders. The managers focus on stocks that have been cast aside as investors focused elsewhere on momentum plays.

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 | |

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.

Key holdings include Citigroup, Bank of Ireland, BNP Paribas, NN Group, Capital One, and Charles Schwab, which were significant contributors to Q4 performance. The portfolio includes major e-commerce platforms Alibaba Group, Tencent Holdings, and Meta Platforms, though these were among the most significant detractors from Q4 performance. The manager maintains exposure to firms tied to the digital economy despite recent underperformance. Energy investments comprise 6.9% of the portfolio, including positions in Shell PLC and Total Energies SE. The manager notes periodic fluctuation of investor confidence in industrial commodity sector businesses, with Total Energies contributing positively to Q4 performance. The manager explicitly discusses evolving U.S. trade policies and their impact on global trade flows, noting that winners and losers among multi-national producers of tradeable goods will become obvious in time.
