President Trump authorized Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, making crypto an institutional asset class. However, companies issuing debt at 2x asset values for crypto treasury strategies shows speculative excess. | FUN VSAT FUN |

Tech companies like Meta and Alphabet are investing significantly in AI infrastructure, while industrials are responding to growing demand for data centers and electricity driven by AI innovation. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 12, 2026 | Broyhill Asset Management | 0.0% | 0.0% | AVTR, BAX, DLTR, FI, FUN, IQV, PM, RKT.L, TMO, WOSG.L | AI, Concentration, defensives, Europe, fundamentals, momentum, Speculation, value | The AI capital cycle has created extreme market concentration and speculative momentum, with AI-related stocks accounting for 75% of S&P 500 returns since ChatGPT launched. 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 |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 14, 2026 | 13D Activist Fund | 0.4% | 3.1% | 1944.T, 9501.T, 9531.T, EBCOY, FUN, ITGR, KAEPY, WEX | activism, Japan, semiconductors, small caps, Utilities, value | Shareholder activism continues to grow with 152 campaigns in North America in 2025, a 20.6% increase from 2024. The strategy has evolved from stigmatized to accepted and now necessary as passive investing increases. Non-activist managers are resorting to activism to realize intrinsic value as fewer investors buy and sell based on fundamentals. Japan presents significant opportunities with 76 new activist campaigns in 2025 and 154 live campaigns currently. Japanese companies offer value creation through margin expansion, enhanced capital returns, and improved corporate governance. The fund made its first investments in Japan with Ebara Corporation and Kansai Electric Power Company. Ebara Corporation is a semiconductor capital equipment powerhouse contributing one-third of revenue and over half of operating income. The company forms a duopoly in chemical mechanical planarization with Applied Materials, with AI semiconductors demanding greater CMP intensity offering clear growth runway. Kansai Electric Power Company is Japan's second-largest electric utility and top nuclear power operator with 48% of electrical output from nuclear. The company has favorable characteristics but trades at 0.75x price-to-book with opportunities for improved dividend payouts, capital efficiency, and asset sales. | WEX FUN ITGR 9503 JP 6361 JP |

The Fund's performance was driven by just four small cap stocks representing under one-third of the portfolio. | BNED |
