The small cap environment was characterized by narrow performance driven by low-quality, speculative stocks, with the top 25 contributors delivering over 50% of benchmark returns. The investment environment overwhelmingly favored lower quality stocks, with non-earners gaining 19.6%, negative equity stocks up 37.2%, and highest beta names advancing 26.1%. The fund's deliberate focus on higher-quality stocks with earnings support was a general headwind throughout the year. Artificial intelligence investment was a key area of market focus during 2025, though the fund questioned when investors would see returns from billions of dollars spent on AI infrastructure. The fund avoided speculative AI plays in favor of companies with more established fundamentals. Uncertain trade policy and the friction it added to the system was the biggest distraction during 2025. Companies now mostly have a sense of the rules of global trade and are adjusting, which could provide more stability going forward. | View | |

These characteristics are viewed as necessary preconditions to generate material outperformance in the asset class. The portfolio consists of businesses with durable competitive positions, strong balance sheets, and management teams capable of compounding intrinsic value at high rates through cash earnings growth. Quality characteristics provided downside protection during market stress. Watches of Switzerland operates as a leading retailer of highly desirable luxury watch brands, benefiting from strong client relationships and disciplined inventory management. The company has gained exclusive retailer status for pre-owned Rolex timepieces, creating additional revenue streams. | BUR LN WOSG LN YETI |
