| 2025 Q4 | Feb 17, 2026 | Aegis Value Fund | 0.0% | 67.1% | ARREF, ARX.TO, ASTL.TO, ATH.TO, BOCH, CVE.TO, CYL.AX, EFX.TO, EQX.TO, HNRG, IFP.TO, IPCO.TO, KMR.L, MEG.TO, NGS, ORE.TO, PD.TO, VET.TO | commodities, Dollar, energy, gold, Mining, Precious Metals, small cap, value | Gold rocketed up 64.6% in 2025 as global sentiment soured on the dollar amid government fiscal profligacy and untenable debt levels. Investors shifted towards precious metals as a safe haven for wealth preservation, with global ETF demand soaring and China buying gold hand-over-fist. Gold overtook US Treasuries as the primary reserve asset in central banks worldwide. Precious metals mining stocks soared with the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index increasing 176.5% and NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index climbing 158.28%. The Fund's 23.4% allocation to 22 precious metals mining positions delivered 35.01 percentage points of Fund returns. Despite recent gains, the sector remains substantially undervalued vis-à-vis the market. WTI crude prices dropped 19.9% in 2025, delivering oil's worst year since 2020. OPEC incrementally increased production quotas by 2.9 million barrels/day amid trade tensions while Chinese demand growth moderated. The oil-to-gold ratio is now at historic lows outside the 2020 pandemic, suggesting oil assets may be undervalued debasement safe-havens. Hyperscalers are investing nearly $1.5 trillion in capex over the next 24 months for data-center construction. Data centers will grow to represent 12% of all US energy use by 2028, up from 4.4% in 2023. This creates investment opportunities in electricity and natural gas producers as reliable power generation becomes a key bottleneck. Natural gas pricing was flat with spot Henry Hub prices edging up just 1.46% from a year ago. However, natural gas appears to have fully recovered from its glut as substantial North American LNG export capacity came online and data-center electricity requirements increased demand for natural gas generation. The dollar index delivered a nearly 10% decline over the year as investor sentiment towards the dollar weakened considerably. Factors included federal debt topping $38 trillion, a more dovish Federal Reserve, increasing American tariffs, and dollar weaponization through financial system sanctions. | ASTL CN CVE CN CYL AU ORE CN EQX CN |

| 2024 Q4 | Dec 31, 2024 | Moerus Capital Management | - | 16.0% | 0388.HK, 1821.HK, 1910.HK, AAL.L, ARCO, BAJAJHLDNG.NS, BMA, CBD, DESP, DGX, EFX.TO, GGAL, IDFCFIRSTB.NS, JEF, MEG.TO, NTCO, STAN.L, TID, TSGYO.IS, UCG.MI | Argentina, Banking, contrarian, fundamentals, Hong Kong, international, Turkey, value | Three of the Fund's five largest positive contributors came from Argentina, including Grupo Financiero Galicia, Despegar.com, and Banco Macro. The manager built positions in Argentine banks at discounted prices reflecting extreme pessimism from macro chaos, believing they were well-positioned as international players fled the market. Early signs of improvement under the Milei administration, including fiscal surplus and deceleration in inflation, drove strong performance. | View |
