| 2025 Q4 | Feb 3, 2026 | John Hancock Bond Fund Class I | 1.0% | 7.7% | AAL, BAC, DELL, F, FMCC, FNMA, JPM, WFC | Bonds, credit, duration, Fed policy, fixed income, Mortgage | The fund maintained significant overweight positions in agency MBS, focusing on middle coupon stack securities (4.0% to 5.5% coupons) for higher income and prepayment protection. Agency MBS was the top performing market segment and remained attractive versus corporates despite tightening spreads. The managers reduced allocations to investment-grade and high-yield corporates due to very tight yield spreads versus history. They focused on optimizing income through security selection rather than adding material risk given current tight valuations. The Fed enacted two quarter-point rate cuts in Q4, bringing total 2025 reductions to 75 basis points. The fund maintained neutral duration positioning and retained bias for yield curve steepening through intermediate-term overweights. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 23, 2026 | Brandes Core Plus Fixed Income Fund | 0.9% | 6.7% | ADT, CNSL, COTY, F, GTN, KSS, OGN, SABR, SPR, USB, UVN | Corporate Bonds, credit, duration, Fed policy, fixed income, inflation, Treasuries, Yield Spreads | Consumer Price Index is approximately 25% higher since COVID pandemic, the highest rise in nearly forty years. Inflation has outpaced wage growth, creating affordability issues. The manager believes inflation will trend higher rather than moving toward the Fed's 2% target. Early warning signs of credit stress in private credit markets with collapses of subprime issuers and private debt markdowns. Goldman Sachs reports 15% of private credit borrowers cannot cover interest costs. The manager questions whether these are isolated events or signs of broader trouble ahead. Fed cut rates by 1.75% since September 2024 with third consecutive reduction in December. The manager believes the market may be underestimating the ultimate neutral fed funds rate and that the last 18 years of unconventional monetary policy may have skewed perceptions of normal rates. | View | |
| Q4 2025 | Jan 16, 2026 | GDS Investments | - | - | ABNB, AMZN, CRWV, DEO, F, GE, GM, GOOGL, LEN, NVO, ORCL, RIVN, STZ, TDW, TREX, VAL, WMT, ZTS | AI, Buybacks, cyclicals, Electric Vehicles, Quality, Rotation, technology, value | AI-related infrastructure investment is beginning to unwind or recalibrate, with companies shifting from internal cash flows to debt financing. The manager expects a widening gap between pure AI infrastructure companies and those with diversified business models. Market rotation is expected away from speculative AI growth toward more traditional businesses. Share repurchases feature prominently across the portfolio as a signal of management confidence and value creation amplification. Multiple holdings have authorized significant buyback programs, including TDW ($500M), VAL ($600M ongoing), STZ ($4B), and others totaling billions in authorized repurchases. Rivian represents maybe the most exciting position in the portfolio, with the company developing its own autonomy platform and in-house chip (RAP1). The R2 model represents a pivotal moment, and partnerships with Volkswagen and Amazon have strengthened the balance sheet while expanding strategic options. The manager focuses on separating durable value from speculative excess, building positions in under-owned, under-valued businesses with strong balance sheets and leadership positions. The strategy involves finding high-quality businesses facing cyclical headwinds that have pushed market prices below intrinsic value. | RIVN TREX AMZN GOOG |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 14, 2026 | Longleaf Partners Global Fund | 5.3% | 16.7% | ANGI, AVTR, BIO, CNH, CNX, DHER.DE, EXOR.MI, F, FI, GLAN.L, GRUMA.MX, IAC, JFC.PS, KHC, MAT, MGM, PHG, REGN, STLA, TIGO, UNH | Buybacks, FCF, global, Holdings, Media, Quality, value | The fund maintains a concentrated portfolio of undervalued stocks trading at low P/V ratios in the low-60s%. Management emphasizes finding defensive growers like consumer staples and timberland companies at better prices, similar to their successful positioning in 1999. They focus on companies with strong free cash flow generation and quality management partners. Multiple portfolio companies are actively repurchasing shares at attractive prices. MGM has repurchased over 40% of shares in five years, Glanbia added to buyback programs, and Exor executed efficient share repurchases via Dutch auction. The fund views these as value-creating capital allocation moves. Canal+ renewed exclusive UEFA Champions League rights for 2027-2031 at better economics than feared, reinforcing subscriber base quality. The company made operational progress across European and African platforms following the MultiChoice merger, though remains underfollowed as a French media company on London Stock Exchange. | AVTR BIO ANGI MGM KHC IAC TIGO GLB LN CAN LN |
