While AI is an outstanding white-collar tool that will assist good companies, it won't quickly change government, healthcare, banking, or military sectors due to switching costs, training requirements, and regulatory constraints. Over 20% of private credit funds are loans to software companies, creating potential systemic risk as institutional LPs want their money back and GPs don't like the bids on what they need to sell. The pricing of illiquid assets in a market with no bids presents challenges similar to the S&L crisis or 2008 financial crisis. The software business is not dead, but many software stocks are facing repricing as growth gets picked off by AI changes and terminal values need to come down. The manager sees opportunities in slower growth, rule of 30 companies with strong margins and free cash flow that have been less appreciated but are now changing in valuation. | View | |

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 |

President Trump's hardline tariff agenda became one of the most consequential stories of 2025, lifting average tariff rates to nearly 17% from less than 3% at the end of 2024. The tariffs generated roughly $30 billion monthly for the US Treasury and brought world leaders to Washington seeking trade deals. Despite multiple rounds of meetings, a final agreement with China remains incomplete, with China using its leverage in rare earth minerals to push back against further tariffs. Safe-haven gold gained 65% in 2025, its best annual gain since 1979, driven by geopolitical uncertainties, expectations of US rate cuts, strong central bank buying, and the de-dollarisation trend. Gold mining companies delivered massive returns with Gold Fields up 200%, AngloGold up 242%, Harmony up 124%, Sibanye up 313%, and Implats up 204%. European defense shares surged 56% driven by pledges of higher defense spending across Europe. Germany is expected to spend up to a trillion euros on defense and infrastructure, reflecting the broader commitment to increased military expenditure across the region. The Fed cut interest rates three times in 2025, lowering the benchmark rate to 3.5%-3.75% range as employment growth slowed and unemployment rose. However, new projections show only one rate cut expected this year with further cuts likely on hold until inflation falls or unemployment rises more than anticipated. | View | |

Technology companies have doubled net income over four years and grown earnings 550% since 2008, demonstrating sustainable profitability unlike the dot-com era where 74% of internet companies had negative cash flows. Bitcoin declined roughly 6% in 2025 despite widespread price targets of $200,000 from major firms and up to $1.5 million by 2030 from Cathie Wood. The manager uses Bitcoin's volatile history to illustrate the futility of one-year predictions for highly speculative assets. | View | |

He argues that we cannot be in an AI bubble when defensive stocks trade at higher multiples than leading AI companies. The discussion emphasizes that AI-driven demand is creating structural changes in memory and semiconductor markets. Memory semiconductors are highlighted as no longer being a commodity business driven by PC cycles, but rather a strategic input for AI, cloud infrastructure, and data-intensive workloads. The supply side has consolidated with fewer rational players, higher capital intensity, and better pricing discipline. Micron is positioned to benefit from AI-driven demand and improved industry structure. The manager emphasizes owning high-quality U.S. businesses that compound intrinsic value over time. He argues that obvious, high-quality businesses are not a failure of imagination but recognition of reality, as the modern internet economy rewards scale and dominant positions. Quality businesses can deliver asymmetric returns through duration of dominance. Valuation discipline is emphasized as critical to long-term success, with the manager noting that overpaying can cause long-term returns to go sideways. The portfolio deliberately avoided chasing narrow market leadership at elevated valuations, accepting short-term underperformance to preserve long-term risk-adjusted outcomes. Value creation comes from buying quality businesses at rational prices. | DIS AMD MU |

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. | View | |

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 | |

The manager notes perception has improved significantly since initially purchasing GOOG in March 2023 when consensus was that Google missed the AI boom. Core investment philosophy centers on investing in high-quality companies with durable competitive advantages when they trade at steep discounts to intrinsic value. The manager emphasizes the importance of maintaining wide margins of safety and only investing when securities trade below the bottom end of their intrinsic value ranges. Homebuilding companies were weak performers due to elevated mortgage rates and slowdown in new home sales souring investor sentiment. However, the manager remains bullish on long-term prospects believing there is a housing shortage and these companies trade at large discounts to intrinsic values, adding to positions in both BLDR and TOL. | GOOGL ONON ZTS FDS ACM |

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 |

They focus on financially strong, well-managed companies with durable competitive advantages operating in industries poised for long-term growth. The letter discusses how price momentum is a well-documented phenomenon where securities whose prices have risen are more likely to keep rising in the short run. When momentum takes hold, fundamentals usually fade from view while narratives are used to justify price moves. AI enthusiasm has lifted hardware and semiconductor stocks while weighing on shares of software and services holdings. The manager notes that many AI-related winners lack clear basis for continuing, with some companies barely connected to the AI theme benefiting from momentum. Gold is trading at its highest inflation-adjusted level in five decades, but it is a volatile commodity. Gold-mining companies have not had a great history of profitability other than when prices are unusually high, making the current rally questionable for long-term returns. | 2344 TT DIA IM 298380 KS |

Success breeds competition and margin pressure hits profits. The best performing stocks will be those in their respective industries that do a better job than their peers utilizing technology. Healthcare stocks soared during the fourth quarter and provided the best returns by far. Performance was led by weight loss companies, European pharmaceuticals with positive phase three trials, and breakthrough biotech innovators in autoimmune disease. The sector is expected to lead in the year ahead. Technology and Communication Services remained recipients of majority of Capex spending. Mega cap Tech leaders saw earnings grow 31% and stocks advance 24%, lowering P/Es to reasonable levels. Larger cap Technology companies should continue to lead the market despite being an enormous part of the growth benchmark. Valuations do matter, as evidenced by Cisco Systems finally reaching new highs over 25 years after its Bubble Peak. The market has assigned a 40 P/E ratio to Walmart compared to 15X multiple on struggling Target.

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.

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.

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.

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 | |
