| 2025 Q4 | Jan 29, 2026 | Hotchkis & Wiley Global Value Fund | 3.8% | 23.8% | AIG, BNP.PA, CMCSA, CRM, ELV, ERIC, FFIV, FISV, GEHC, GOOGL, UNH, USB, WBD, WDAY | AI, financials, global, healthcare, software, technology, valuation, value | The portfolio trades at 13x forward earnings and less than 10x normal earnings, representing attractive valuations relative to the broad market. The fund focuses on opportunities outside the Magnificent 7 where overall valuations remain near average despite elevated market multiples. The fund views AI as more likely to be a tailwind for application software vendors like Workday as they incorporate AI-powered features into their software suites. Google delivered strong new AI products that appear to be taking material share of Consumer Chatbot activity from OpenAI's ChatGPT. The fund has significant exposure to cloud-based enterprise software companies like Workday and Salesforce, which provide human capital management, financial management, and analytics solutions. These companies benefit from sticky customer bases and recurring revenue models. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 29, 2026 | Hotchkis & Wiley Large Cap Fundamental Value | 4.5% | 17.1% | AIG, APA, C, CMCSA, CRM, CRWD, CVS, ERIC, FDX, FFIV, FISV, GM, NFLX, PLTR, UNH, WBD, WDAY, WPP | banks, energy, financials, healthcare, large cap, software, valuation, value | The portfolio trades at 13x forward earnings and less than 10x normal earnings, both in line with historical averages. The manager emphasizes attractive valuations outside the Magnificent 7, with the S&P 500 excluding these stocks trading at 18x forward P/E versus a 35-year average of 17.4x. The fund focuses on undervalued quality businesses with strong fundamentals. Software is the portfolio's largest industry exposure on both absolute and relative basis. The manager views prospects of select software companies as highly compelling, citing sticky customer bases, recurring revenues, and predictable businesses. Major purchases included Workday and Salesforce, which trade at discounts to their own history despite being higher quality businesses. The portfolio's banks returned 13% compared to 6% for the index in Q4, with an average weight of 12% that returned nearly 40% for the year. The manager took capital out of the group as valuations increased. Banks were the top contributing industry to relative performance both quarterly and annually. The portfolio remains overweight in healthcare, noting the sector's return is about half that of the rest of the market over the past decade. Healthcare's P/E ratio is less than 80% of the broad market's P/E, trading at a deeper discount only 8% of the time since 1990. The manager views this as an attractive opportunity given the quality of businesses and growth prospects. Energy exposure spans both exploration & production companies as well as oilfield services. While these businesses are not as structurally attractive as software or healthcare, energy remains among the most attractively valued areas of the portfolio. The group trades at less than 7x normal earnings and offers an expected free cash flow yield of 11%. | View | |

The fund focuses on attractively valued companies with single digit earnings multiples and strong free cash flow yields. The fund maintains notable overweight exposure to oil & gas exploration/production companies that produce free cash flow yields well into the double digits. The managers view the oil market as having structural supply constraints and believe these companies represent a rare opportunity despite temporary oversupply concerns. The portfolio has notable overweight exposure to banks that exhibit attractive valuations, particularly considering their scale advantages and healthy capital ratios. Traditional/regional banks and trust banks performed well during the quarter, helping relative performance. | View | |

They focus on stocks trading at attractive valuations while avoiding richly valued names, with their U.S. FSV strategy trading at more than double the free cash flow yield of the S&P 500. The strategy systematically rotates out of names that have increased in value and reinvests into less expensive stocks. The firm filters for high quality companies with stable cash flows and low debt levels. Their investment process excludes negative free cash flow companies and avoids those with high amounts of leverage while seeking fundamental stability. This quality focus has historically been smart but was a drag on returns in 2025 as unprofitable stocks outperformed significantly. The firm sees significant opportunity in small and mid-sized U.S. stocks, though selectivity is critical given the large number of unprofitable and heavily-indebted companies. Their small/mid strategy filters out negative free cash flow companies and high leverage names. The S&P 600 excludes many troubled names and has considerably outperformed the Russell 2000 over time. | View | |

The firm's strategies focus on finding attractively valued stocks where quality and value overlap, with their portfolios trading at significant discounts to benchmarks. Quality is a core focus of the firm's investment process, emphasizing cash flow stability and avoiding highly leveraged or unprofitable companies. The letter discusses how their strategies systematically filter out negative free cash flow companies and those with high debt levels while seeking fundamental stability. The letter identifies significant opportunities in small and mid-sized U.S. stocks, noting that avoiding high debt levels and money-losing businesses has historically been smart but was a drag on returns in 2025. The firm sees this as creating attractive entry points for quality small cap investing. | View | |

The S&P 500 is trading near record multiples with just 20 stocks accounting for over 50% of the market at a 120% premium to the rest. Historical analysis shows that rich starting valuations correlate with lower longer-term returns. Despite rich overall market valuations, many high quality stocks remain attractively valued. The firm's large cap strategy trades at a free cash flow yield more than double the S&P 500 and 60% above Russell 1000 Value. Value stocks significantly outperformed after the 2000 tech bubble when similar valuation disparities existed. Significant opportunities exist in smaller stocks where avoiding high debt levels and money-losing businesses has historically been smart but was an enormous drag on returns in 2025. Negative free cash flow stocks comprised 35% of Russell 2000 and rose 67% on average, demonstrating unusual market conditions. | View | |

The value spread between their portfolio and the S&P 500 is historically wide. The firm highlights strong performance in travel-related holdings including Expedia Group and AerCap Holdings. Air transportation industry cash flows show recovery with air lessors outperforming airlines and aircraft manufacturers from 2020-2025. | View | |
