However, an MIT study found 95% of generative AI pilots failing to deliver measurable returns, raising concerns about overinvestment similar to the dot-com era. Supply demand dynamics favored US stocks with $1.1 trillion in total stock buybacks versus only $46 billion in IPOs. Energy leaders like Chevron rewarded shareholders with aggressive stock buybacks alongside strong production and growing dividends. Over 100 countries dramatically increased defense spending in 2025, providing a boost for the aerospace and defense sector. Jet engine production and maintenance soared, benefiting firms like Parker Hannifin, GE, RTX and Berkshire's Precision Castparts. In the fourth quarter, investors shifted toward undervalued, high-quality companies with strong free cash flow yields. Healthcare led with an 11.25% catch-up return as its valuation metrics remain at a significant discount to the broader market. Larger banks enjoyed steepening yield curves and robust capital markets activity, with Bank of New York and Citigroup showing strong fundamentals at cheap valuations. JPMorgan predicts a breakout year for IPOs in 2026 with names like SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic potentially entering the market. | View | |

Falling interest rates, rising equity prices, and improving corporate confidence are driving an optimistic outlook for deals, which should benefit advisory firms, rating agencies, and alternative asset managers. The fund continues its growth approach to investing in financial and financial-related companies, including payment businesses, financial exchanges, and data providers that enable financial transactions. The common denominator across all holdings is the use of technology and data to better serve customers and grow at above-average rates. The broader software industry came under pressure due to fears of AI disintermediation. However, vertical market software vendors serving highly regulated industries are most insulated from AI risk given their deep workflow integrations and high switching costs. Morgan Stanley expects continued margin expansion from operating leverage and efficiencies from the broader usage of AI. Bitcoin fell 23.5% in the quarter, significantly underperforming nearly every major asset class. Robinhood experienced softening in customer engagement, especially in cryptocurrency trading alongside a pullback in crypto prices. The Senate is drafting legislation to create a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency that could potentially boost digital asset adoption. Falling interest rates and federal support for housing should drive a continued rebound in mortgage origination volumes, which should benefit mortgage originators and credit bureaus. FICO launched its new Direct Licensing Program for mortgage lending, which provides greater flexibility to monetize its intellectual property. | NEPT MS GWRE MELI HOOD FICO JKHY SPGI |

The manager views this as a bubble similar to historical infrastructure buildouts like railroads and electricity, where early investors suffered catastrophic losses while benefits ultimately accrued to users rather than producers. Current AI capex spending approaches 2.1% of GDP, nearing levels that coincided with previous market peaks. Value stocks are trading at some of the widest discounts on record, with the portfolio positioned in businesses trading at substantial discounts to normalized earnings power. The manager believes this disconnect reflects pessimism and exhaustion rather than permanent impairment, creating an extremely promising starting point for long-term outperformance as fundamentals reassert themselves. Momentum has been the single defining force across equity markets, with performance increasingly driven by narratives rather than fundamentals. The current cycle has been one for the record books, with the two years leading up to 2025 being the second strongest on record for momentum after the dot-com era. The manager expects mean reversion to eventually favor value strategies. Global defensive sectors have fallen to their lowest weighting since 2000, trading at discounts to both the market and their own histories amid deteriorating sentiment and unusually high short interest. These sectors offer significant upside potential and provide defense, as companies selling basic necessities tend to shine when the rest of the market is in trouble. | RKT LN WOSG LN FUN AVTR FISV DLTR IQV PM |

They expect a rotation from Large Cap Growth stocks with the highest market valuations to stocks and sectors with more reasonable valuations that can show consistent earnings. Matrix expects high quality Value and Dividend stocks to perform well in an environment where investors are seeking to replace income lost due to declining short-term interest rates.

Software platforms are aggressively introducing AI functionality either through internal development or APIs. The range of outcomes has widened but there is a compelling bull case where AI leads to reduced churn, new revenue streams, and accelerated operating margin expansion. Cloud software companies saw valuations decline in 2025 as the market feared AI displacement, but NZS sees opportunity in systems of record and vertical market software. These companies have attractive fundamentals including sticky revenue streams, high margins, and mission-critical positioning. The portfolio's software positioning remains focused on systems of record and vertical market software which have the best chance of adapting to AI.

Interest spreads have begun widening as fixed rate assets roll over at higher yields, revealing attractive economics of low-cost deposit franchises. Many banks are generating returns on tangible equity in the mid-to-high teens with management targets suggesting sustainability in the medium term. Capital markets firms were among the drivers of S&P Financials Index performance and contributed to fund outperformance. The regulatory environment has been moving in a favorable direction with capital rules being finalized that are far less onerous than under the prior administration. Regulators are more willing to consider M&A transactions with relief on certain supervisory limitations. Property & casualty reinsurers were added to the portfolio as capital was redeployed from trimmed bank positions. Pricing trends in insurance markets have been strong in recent years. Chubb has consistently generated returns on equity comfortably ahead of the industry owing to advantaged lines of business with disciplined underwriting and operating culture. Payments and consumer lending companies were the biggest contributors to relative performance including Capital One, American Express and Rocket Companies. Capital One's transformational acquisition of Discover Financial closed with anticipated annual cost synergies of $1.5 billion and network synergies of $1.2 billion from transitioning card volumes into Discover's networks. Financial stock valuations have begun to reset higher with price-to-tangible book value multiples expanding by over 70% on average in the past three years.

However, concerns exist about paying too much for AI businesses despite their real potential.

Data and information service providers face hypothetical challenges focused on AI's potential to change competitive dynamics, leading to valuation de-rating despite solid operating results. Companies like Experian and LSEG have proprietary datasets that cannot be easily replicated by AI, with deep regulatory moats and embedded customer relationships providing protection.

The team sees opportunities in AI adoption across sectors where it's not currently priced, while maintaining exposure to AI-related infrastructure investments despite reducing exposure during volatility spikes.

The team believes this creates a probability gap with meaningful upside potential for valuation-driven investors as the market prices value stocks as having little chance of leading. Memory chip demand driven by AI exceeded supply growth, creating price spikes that benefited holdings like Micron Technology. The team correctly anticipated AI would drive memory demand well above supply growth, positioning in picks-and-shovels AI infrastructure plays. Gold prices spiked higher than reflected in mining stock prices, benefiting Newmont Mining. The team has been long-term bullish on gold due to limited annual supply and new demand sources, creating opportunities to buy high-probability events at low-probability prices. | PYPL FITB |
