| 2025 Q4 | Mar 4, 2026 | Voss Value Fund | -2.1% | -3.7% | CHH, CLBT, FLYW, PAR | Artificial Intelligence, Automation, Data centers, Software Adoption, Vertical Software | The letter discusses the disruptive potential of AI and agentic systems across the software ecosystem, noting that multi-agent models capable of planning and executing coding workflows have widened uncertainty for software companies as investors reassess valuations. While markets fear AI-driven disruption and margin compression, the manager argues that adoption across the broader economy remains slow and that incumbent software firms may ultimately capture the largest economic benefits through proprietary data, systems of record, and integration advantages. The investment outlook therefore favors dominant vertical software platforms and infrastructure businesses that can integrate AI capabilities while maintaining switching costs and customer entrenchment. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Mar 4, 2026 | Voss Value Offshore Fund | -2.2% | -4.4% | CHH, CLBT, FLYW, PAR | Artificial Intelligence, Automation, Data Infrastructure, Enterprise Software, Software Platforms | The letter examines how rapid advances in AI and multi-agent software systems are driving market volatility and reshaping expectations for the software industry, creating a wave of uncertainty and valuation compression across technology stocks. Despite this disruption, the manager believes incumbent software companies with strong data assets, mission-critical workflows, and established customer relationships are best positioned to benefit from AI adoption over time. The strategy focuses on identifying high-quality platforms where AI enhances productivity and product capabilities rather than destroying industry economics. | View | |
