| 2025 Q4 | Feb 12, 2026 | Artemis US Select Fund (Class I Accumulation Shares GBP) | 7.0% | 10.0% | AMAT, AMD, AXON, CAH, CTVA, ETN, IQV, KO, LLY, LYV, META, MU, NVT, PH, RCL, WDC | AI, growth, healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, technology, US Equities | The manager expects greater dispersion between AI winners and losers, having demonstrated ability to analyze and identify these groups over the past three years. AMD rallied after announcing significant AI-related partnerships, positioning the fund to benefit from continued AI trade evolution. Healthcare is a sector the manager is optimistic about and has been building exposure to following an extended period of underperformance. Eli Lilly's obesity and diabetes franchise continues to exceed expectations, particularly with Mounjaro sales ahead of estimates. The fund increased semiconductor exposure during the quarter, with Micron completely selling out of memory chips and forecasting higher profit margins. Applied Materials was added as a new position in semiconductor wafer fabrication equipment. | View | |

Manager emphasizes value investing offers a risk-aware way to participate in secular themes and argues for selectivity and disciplined risk control. | View | |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 21, 2026 | Renaissance Investment Management – Large Cap Growth | 0.0% | 0.0% | AMAT, BRO, BSX, CAH, FISV, FIX, GOOGL, LRCX, MSI, NFLX, NTNX, PEGA, RCL, SCHW, TPR, UBER, WM | AI, Equal Weight, growth, large cap, Mega Cap, semiconductors, technology, valuation | AI remains a key driver with mega-cap technology stocks leading market performance. Alphabet released Gemini 3 with performance exceeding expectations, making it the top-performing AI model, and unveiled new Tensor Processing Units for lower-cost AI computations. Applied Materials benefits from strong demand for AI semiconductor chipsets. Semiconductor equipment companies like Lam Research and Applied Materials are benefiting from secular tailwinds including transition to larger chip sizes and increased complexity in chip manufacturing to accommodate AI applications. The CHIPS Act provides federal stimulus supporting the sector. Market valuations have risen significantly with the cap-weighted S&P 500 P/E rising almost 60% over three years versus 30% for equal-weighted. The extreme valuation difference between mega-cap and equal-weighted stocks suggests better relative performance going forward from equal-weighted strategies. | NFLX AMAT GOOG |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 18, 2026 | Distillate Capital Fundamental Stability & Value | 0.0% | 0.0% | BMY, CAH, CSCO, ELV, FFIV, FI, GPS, HCA, JBHT, JNJ, LOW, MO, MPC, MRK, REGN, TDC, TEL, TMUS, UBER, VST | free cash flow, fundamentals, international, Quality, rebalancing, small caps, valuation, value | The firm emphasizes systematic value investing through their proprietary free cash flow valuation methodology. They focus on stocks trading at attractive valuations while avoiding richly valued names, with their U.S. FSV strategy trading at more than double the free cash flow yield of the S&P 500. The strategy systematically rotates out of names that have increased in value and reinvests into less expensive stocks. The firm filters for high quality companies with stable cash flows and low debt levels. Their investment process excludes negative free cash flow companies and avoids those with high amounts of leverage while seeking fundamental stability. This quality focus has historically been smart but was a drag on returns in 2025 as unprofitable stocks outperformed significantly. The firm sees significant opportunity in small and mid-sized U.S. stocks, though selectivity is critical given the large number of unprofitable and heavily-indebted companies. Their small/mid strategy filters out negative free cash flow companies and high leverage names. The S&P 600 excludes many troubled names and has considerably outperformed the Russell 2000 over time. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 18, 2026 | Distillate Capital Small/Mid Cap Quality & Value | 0.0% | 0.0% | BMY, CAH, CSCO, ELV, FFIV, FI, GPS, HCA, JBHT, JNJ, LOW, MO, MPC, MRK, REGN, TDC, TEL, TMUS, UBER, VST | free cash flow, fundamentals, Quality, rebalancing, small cap, valuation, value | The letter extensively discusses valuation concerns across markets, highlighting that U.S. equities are historically expensive and trading at levels typically associated with subdued future returns. The firm's strategies focus on finding attractively valued stocks where quality and value overlap, with their portfolios trading at significant discounts to benchmarks. Quality is a core focus of the firm's investment process, emphasizing cash flow stability and avoiding highly leveraged or unprofitable companies. The letter discusses how their strategies systematically filter out negative free cash flow companies and those with high debt levels while seeking fundamental stability. The letter identifies significant opportunities in small and mid-sized U.S. stocks, noting that avoiding high debt levels and money-losing businesses has historically been smart but was a drag on returns in 2025. The firm sees this as creating attractive entry points for quality small cap investing. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 18, 2026 | Distillate Capital Large Cap Value | 0.0% | 8.6% | 000660.KS, 005930.KS, BMY, CAH, CSCO, ELV, FFIV, FI, HCA, JBHT, JNJ, LOW, MO, MPC, MRK, REGN, TEL, TMUS, UBER, VST | FCF, fundamentals, international, Quality, rebalancing, small caps, valuation, value | U.S. equities are historically expensive by any measure and at levels typically associated with subdued future returns. The S&P 500 is trading near record multiples with just 20 stocks accounting for over 50% of the market at a 120% premium to the rest. Historical analysis shows that rich starting valuations correlate with lower longer-term returns. Despite rich overall market valuations, many high quality stocks remain attractively valued. The firm's large cap strategy trades at a free cash flow yield more than double the S&P 500 and 60% above Russell 1000 Value. Value stocks significantly outperformed after the 2000 tech bubble when similar valuation disparities existed. Significant opportunities exist in smaller stocks where avoiding high debt levels and money-losing businesses has historically been smart but was an enormous drag on returns in 2025. Negative free cash flow stocks comprised 35% of Russell 2000 and rose 67% on average, demonstrating unusual market conditions. | View | |
