Bottlenecks from power supply availability remain a key gating factor to bring new computing capacity online. Despite widespread calls that AI stocks are in bubble territory, the managers hold a balanced view and believe investor skepticism may prove supportive of a prolonged investment cycle. Healthcare remains the largest sector in the US with total expenditures reaching $5 trillion and accounting for 17.7% of GDP. The sector has been working off excesses from the COVID-19 pandemic but shows reasons for optimism including increased M&A activity and more favorable valuations. Interest in healthcare stocks could see a resurgence once investors are comfortable with policy and regulatory overhangs. Aerospace stocks have largely outperformed as production challenges at two global aircraft manufacturers have led to sustained increases in high-margin aftermarket parts and services. With manufacturers finally resolving longstanding production issues, original equipment exposed stocks could potentially outperform aftermarket-exposed stocks as aircraft production rates ramp up. Re-shoring and factory automation are expected to emerge as key themes driving broader capital spending in 2026. This represents a significant shift in manufacturing and investment patterns as companies bring operations back to the United States. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 4, 2026 | Aristotle Small/Mid Cap Equity | 2.3% | 3.0% | AEIS, AER, AGI, AHCO, AUB, BJ, BKU, CIEN, DY, EHC, HASI, HMN, HQY, HURN, IDA, ITRI, MTSI, NOVT, PRGO, PWP, UGI, WWW | Banking, healthcare, industrials, small cap, technology, Utilities, value | AI-related demand is driving strong performance for optical networking equipment manufacturers like Ciena, which is dominating market share for scale across data center projects in 2026. The quarter began with concerns about a potential AI capital expenditures bubble affecting market sentiment. Power grid modernization efforts are driving demand for smart metering and grid monitoring solutions. Companies like Itron are well-positioned to benefit from these infrastructure investments despite some regulatory approval delays. Continued reshoring of U.S. manufacturing is identified as a potential tailwind for small/mid-cap stocks. This trend supports domestic manufacturing capabilities and creates opportunities for industrial companies. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 25, 2026 | SouthernSun Small Cap | 2.6% | 5.4% | AEIS, BOOT, CSW, CXT, DAR, DORM, DY, EXTR, KAI, LPX, TKR, USPH | AI, energy, fundamentals, risk, small caps, valuation, value | Manager draws extensive parallels between today's AI-driven market environment and the 2014-15 oil collapse, warning that AI has become a macroeconomic assumption embedded in capital expenditure plans and valuation models. AI infrastructure faces energy constraints with data centers becoming massive electricity consumers, while rising power costs and grid limitations challenge assumptions of frictionless scalability. Markets may be conflating transformational potential with near-term certainty, creating valuation risk similar to past cycles. Energy plays a central role in the manager's analysis, both as a historical lesson from 2014-15 oil collapse and as a current constraint on AI infrastructure. Data centers have become massive electricity consumers with economics highly sensitive to power pricing and grid reliability. Rising electricity prices in data-center-heavy regions and utility challenges in expanding capacity create physical constraints that complicate AI scalability assumptions. The portfolio focuses on small-cap businesses that are performing well fundamentally with strong balance sheets, resilient cash flows, and improved competitive positions. The manager emphasizes owning businesses that can compound value over time rather than speculation, though acknowledges markets don't always reward fundamentals on a linear schedule. Portfolio positioning reflects discipline in finding mispriced companies relative to long-term intrinsic value. | TKR DY DORM KAI CSW DAR AEIS |

The manager draws parallels between today's AI environment and the 2014-15 oil collapse, noting that AI infrastructure is profoundly energy-intensive and faces physical constraints including rising electricity prices and grid capacity challenges. Energy plays a critical role in AI infrastructure economics, with data centers becoming major electricity consumers. Rising power costs compress margins while grid constraints and regulatory scrutiny influence deployment timelines. The manager emphasizes that unlike software-driven growth, AI compute cannot be scaled independently of physical energy reality. Many AI-exposed companies trade at multiples assuming near-flawless execution, creating valuation risk despite current profitability. The manager notes that when confidence is high, markets forgive delays and cost overruns, but when confidence wanes, these factors can catalyze abrupt repricing. Late-cycle environments show conviction persisting even as marginal buyers grow cautious. | TREX TKR DY EXTR LOB OSK GNRC CXT APG DAR |
