These AI-impacted stocks declined 15% despite 10% revenue growth and 15% EPS growth, representing 42% of the portfolio. The manager believes the market's assessment of AI risk differs from their own and expects valuations to recover as AI concerns moderate. The fund focuses exclusively on high-quality businesses with superior characteristics including competitive advantages, sustainable growth, and strong financial metrics. This quality-focused strategy was out of favor in 2025 as investors sold higher-quality investments to buy riskier stocks. The Earnings Quality factor performance was in the 100th percentile, demonstrating the fund's quality bias during a period when quality was penalized. The fund invests in a portfolio of competitively advantaged small and medium-sized businesses, which remained out of favor for most of the quarter. The strategy of owning leading small-cap businesses has been the foundation since inception, delivering 354 basis points of annual outperformance over the benchmark since inception despite recent headwinds. | View | |

Many software companies now face increased investor skepticism about the sustainability of their moats and scrutiny of their high-margin structures. The AI theme seems less bulletproof with recent Oracle selloff. Ongoing rotation from software into semiconductors, memory, and semicap equipment. SK Hynix has solidified its leadership in high-bandwidth memory (HBM), emerging as the exclusive HBM supplier for Microsoft's in-house AI accelerator and securing roughly two-thirds of NVIDIA's anticipated HBM4 demand at meaningfully higher price points and margins. Continued strength in European defense equities as capital-intensive businesses like defense contractors are having their moment. Investors are waking up to their mission critical role in the rebuilding of supply chains and national security complexes. Both private credit and private equity will continue to struggle with monetization due to billions of dollars trapped in private equity that cannot be monetized at acceptable prices. The line between public and private is blurring with the more relevant distinction being traded and not yet traded. Expect more liability management exercises and in-court restructurings with almost 40% of restructurings being repeat offenders. Ratings downgrades and defaults continue to pressure stressed leveraged loans creating attractive entry points with elevated dispersion in the leveraged loan market. Residential mortgages remained resilient in 2025, particularly seasoned loans with lower balances. There is currently $35.8 trillion of home equity in US homeowners' balance sheet, creating large margin of credit protection and ability to expand investments in residential real estate into home affordability products. | SGI 402340 KS |

The company is making tremendous progress on Starship, the largest most powerful rocket ever flown, representing a significant leap forward in space exploration capabilities. Eli Lilly's portfolio of Mounjaro/Zepbound GLP-1/GIP drugs are important treatments for diabetic and non-diabetic obese patients. This drug class should become the standard of care for both diabetes and obesity and grow to at least a $150 billion category. The market is in early innings of uptake with adoption driving Lilly to nearly double revenues by 2030. Microsoft has built a $135 billion run-rate cloud business including Azure cloud infrastructure and Office 365 applications. The company remains well positioned across overlapping software, cloud computing, and AI landscapes with its vertically integrated technology stack and broad sales distribution, driving durable long-term double-digit growth. NVIDIA has been more than a 10-bagger for the Fund, with Baron being early investors over four years before the ChatGPT moment. Broadcom has been a 2.5-bagger resulting from explosive growth not multiple expansion. These investments represent successful positioning in the infrastructure layer of AI computing. Spotify continues to demonstrate double-digit user growth and industry-leading engagement levels with evident pricing power as customer retention held despite recent price hikes. The company is on a path to structurally higher gross margins aided by high-margin artist-promotions marketplace and scaling podcast offering, with potential to reach over 1 billion monthly active users. | View | |

The strategy sees AI as a key driver for companies delivering solutions that save time and reduce labor intensity. AI-driven demand for data center construction is benefiting holdings like Comfort Systems, which exceeded expectations with revenue growth over 20% driven by MEP contracting demand. Rising power demand from data center customers is also supporting Vistra through direct sourcing agreements. The strategy maintains exposure to semiconductor companies like Monolithic Power Systems, which benefited from easing concerns around NVIDIA market share and expanding exposure to other AI compute architectures including AMD, TPU, and Trainium to reduce customer concentration. The strategy repurchased Zscaler following a selloff, viewing it as an attractive entry for the leader in the growing SASE security software market that is executing a multi-product cross-sell strategy driving ARPU and margin growth.

Despite waning market enthusiasm in the AI trade, the managers believe the datacenter capex cycle should continue with revenues and earnings for critical players growing rapidly as they struggle to keep up with increasing demand. The portfolio's emphasis on quality growth investing was challenged by the market's preference for high-beta growth stocks, contributing to underperformance.

Market sentiment was unsettled by concerns about AI investment pace and quality, with fears of an emerging AI bubble as valuations appeared to run ahead of fundamentals. The fund maintains significant exposure to e-commerce platforms like Shopify and Amazon, viewing them as critical infrastructure for global commerce. Shopify delivered strong growth with revenues up 32% year-over-year, supported by enterprise demand and AI-enabled tools rollout. The fund added United Therapeutics as a new investment, focusing on profitable biotech companies with durable cash flows. Guardant Health was a notable contributor with strong fundamentals and guidance, evolving into a multi-product diagnostics platform with progress in oncology and screening. The fund initiated a position in Coinbase as a leading regulated cryptocurrency exchange and infrastructure provider. As crypto adoption expands beyond 0.5% of global transactions and institutional participation grows, Coinbase is well-positioned to capture future growth opportunities in the digital asset economy. Roblox was a notable detractor despite very strong underlying growth with bookings rising 70% year-over-year and revenue increasing 48%. The user-generated gaming platform faces near-term margin pressure from accelerated spending on AI, creator tools, and data center capacity. Netflix was a detractor with shares falling around 22% despite 17% year-over-year revenue growth. The streaming platform continues progress in advertising with upfront commitments more than doubling and partnerships like bringing select video podcasts from Spotify to Netflix supporting engagement. | TTD PINS INSP CHWY UTHR COIN GOOG LMND SHOP GH NFLX DUOL RBLX |

They argue that much of the business and financial benefit from AI will accrue to already-advantaged users of AI tools rather than providers, particularly businesses with customer intimacy, ecosystem dominance, and proprietary data. AI is viewed as the first technological shift to favor incumbents over new entrants. The manager emphasizes their focus on quality businesses with durable competitive advantages, strong balance sheets, excellent returns on capital, and high profitability. They note that quality has historically outperformed over time, citing the S&P 500 Quality Index's superior long-term returns versus the S&P 500. The current performance disparity between quality and growth reminds them of 1999. The fund converted from mutual fund to ETF structure in October 2025. The manager discusses their unorthodox approach to ETF management, using cash-only create baskets to maintain opportunistic deployment rather than pro-rata approaches. They favor buying stocks at known prices rather than receiving shares in-kind at unknown prices through the ETF creation process. | View | |
