| 2025 Q4 | Feb 3, 2026 | Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Equity Fund | 1.2% | -8.5% | ABT, AFRM, BOOT, BRBR, BROS, BURL, BWXT, CASY, CHDN, COCO, CRDO, CW, DKNG, DT, ELF, EME, EXAS, FOUR, GKOS, KTB, LII, MASI, MNDY, MTSI, PEN, PODD, RGEN, RKLB, TARS, TWLO, ULS, VERX, WAY, WSO | AI, defense, growth, healthcare, mid cap, semiconductors, small cap, technology | The extended federal government shutdown added volatility during what was otherwise a risk-on environment, with a mid-quarter shift in market behavior for AI-related equities as the exuberant narrative evolved to one more balanced in assessing the technology's enormous potential against staggering capital spending plans and high expectations. The team initiated a position in Credo Technology as a more diversified way to gain exposure to strong trends in AI-connectivity. MACOM Technology Solutions rose nearly +40% as the company experienced broad-based demand, similar to many semiconductor companies in 2025. The team exited Astera Labs following industry conference presentations that suggested emerging competitive risks and concerns over single customer concentration, while initiating a position in Credo Technology for AI-connectivity exposure. Healthcare was the strongest relative contributor in the quarter with holdings increasing nearly +16% compared to benchmark returns of roughly +12%. Exact Sciences was acquired for a significant premium by Abbott Laboratories resulting in an +86% return, while other strong performers included Tarsus Pharmaceuticals, Glaukos following approval of a new product, Penumbra, and Repligen driven by strong earnings results. The team initiated a position in Curtiss-Wright, believing the company is entering a period where multiple near-term growth drivers are converging, including rising defense budgets, commercial aerospace production ramps, nuclear power plant life extensions and new builds, and submarine production. EMCOR Group was initiated as a new position, viewed as a critical contractor enabling multi-year investment cycles across data centers, semiconductor fabrication, electrification, and broader infrastructure modernization. Its decentralized, cash-generative model, recurring service base, and exposure to structural growth drivers create a profile viewed as more durable than a typical cyclical contractor framework. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 10, 2026 | LVS Advisory – Event Driven | -8.2% | 0.0% | AMZN, CW, GOOGL, IBKR, META, NFLX, TLN, WBD, WISE | AI, Event-Driven, Fintech, growth, Leverage, Netflix, Power, software, Streaming | Netflix remains the largest holding at 18% weight, viewed as the global category killer in scripted entertainment rapidly eroding linear TV market share. Despite the Warner Brothers Discovery acquisition causing a 21.8% Q4 decline, the manager sees Netflix continuing to take share through reinvestment in live entertainment, sports content, video games, and advertising capabilities. Artificial intelligence is viewed as creating competition and reducing switching costs in software, leading to liquidation of software exposure. However, AI should benefit tech platforms with physical economies of scale and network effects by allowing them to better serve customers and potentially reduce costs. The power basket performed well with investments in companies benefiting from the energy transition. Talen Energy doubled and Curtiss-Wright appreciated 64%, reflecting the manager's positive view on longer-term power infrastructure trends despite short-term volatility. The fintech basket includes Interactive Brokers and Wise, with stocks showing volatility due to interest rate sensitivity and consumer spending exposure. Stablecoin risk emerged as a new theme in 2025, particularly for cross-border payments, though current costs remain higher than traditional payment rails. | View | |

Demand for AI LLMs is going up exponentially, with demand by AI users and related demand for AI compute continuing to exceed supply.
