| 2025 Q3 | Sep 30, 2025 | SGA – U.S. Large Cap Growth | -1.4% | 2.8% | AAPL, CMG, GART, GOOG, GWW, INTU, NKE, NVDA, NVO, WCN, WDAY | earnings, growth, innovation, moats, technology | The commentary emphasizes sustained large-cap growth leadership supported by strong earnings, balance sheet quality, and secular technology adoption. While valuations are elevated, pricing power and margin durability among dominant franchises underpin continued growth potential. Growth remains attractive as innovation and capital discipline drive long-term earnings compounding. | View | |

| 2025 Q4 | Feb 8, 2026 | SGA – U.S. Large Cap Growth | 0.2% | 3.0% | AAPL, AMZN, ARM, AVGO, AXP, COO, CRM, DHR, GOOGL, GWW, INTU, META, MSFT, NFLX, NKE, NOW, SPGI, V, WM, YUM | AI, growth, large cap, momentum, Quality, semiconductors, valuation | AI capital expenditures are expected to moderate due to structural constraints including power availability, skilled labor shortages, and capital availability. Hyperscaler CapEx spending has reached historically high proportions of revenues and operating cash flows. The most attractive long-term AI opportunities reside with businesses building long-term value rather than companies exposed to cyclical swings. 2025 was characterized by extreme momentum dynamics with capital flowing into immediate winners while perceived losers saw unprecedented pressure. Market leadership concentrated in lower-quality, speculative, and cyclically sensitive stocks. The momentum trade has been exceptionally profitable short-term but timing the inevitable reversal remains challenging. Quality growth companies with stable fundamentals have seen relative valuations plummet to lowest levels in decades while cyclicals trade at historically high levels. The portfolio focuses on reliable and durable growth companies with lower variability that continue to compound earnings and cash flows attractively despite not being rewarded by the market currently. Semiconductor and AI capital equipment stocks were among market darlings, buoyed by massive AI infrastructure spending. However, purely cyclical sectors exposed to hyperscaler CapEx growth rates will have a shorter runway of growth left as further upward growth revisions become challenging. | ALC YUM IT META MSFT ARM AVGO CRM COO GOOG |

The fund invests in global small and mid cap equities with 30-60 holdings, maintaining benchmark agnostic positioning. The portfolio targets companies with market capitalizations in the SMID cap range, seeking to outperform the MSCI World SMID Cap Index over rolling three-year periods. The fund emphasizes valuation discipline as part of its QARP approach, seeking quality companies at reasonable prices. Many high-quality businesses in the portfolio are trading at compelling valuations, with the portfolio's weighted upside potential sitting at the upper end of historical ranges based on conservative assumptions. | VEEV AUTO LN COR TSCO CNM TTC 3064 JP 6146 JP CPG LN LPLA GWW ODFL |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 23, 2026 | Bell Global Equities Fund | -1.5% | 0.0% | 3064.T, 6098.T, 8697.T, AAPL, ACN, AMZN, AUTO.L, AVGO, BOOT, GOOGL, GWW, JPM, LPLA, META, MSFT, NVDA, ODFL, SAP.DE, SNPS, TSCO, V | financials, Global Equities, industrials, QARP, Quality, technology | Bell maintains a Quality at a Reasonable Price (QARP) approach despite challenging performance in 2025. The team believes quality investing periods of underperformance often create compelling opportunities to lean in as fundamentals ultimately reassert themselves and valuations matter again.

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 23, 2026 | Aoris International Fund | 0.0% | 0.0% | ACN, AMZN, APH, ATCO-A.ST, CPRT, FAST, GWW, HLMA.L, IHG.L, JKHY, MSCI, OR.PA, RELX.L, SAP.DE | AI, international, long-term, Quality, technology, value | AI drove exceptional growth for data center-focused holdings like Amphenol and Halma, while creating market perception challenges for service companies like Accenture and RELX. The manager believes AI will ultimately benefit rather than harm these service businesses, as enterprise AI adoption requires complex change management and enhances rather than replaces proprietary data solutions. The manager emphasizes owning durable, resilient, market-leading businesses with competitive advantages and capable management. The portfolio focuses on companies with consistent earnings growth records, strong market positions, and the ability to gain market share over time through superior execution. The manager describes an unusually wide valuation gap between intrinsic value and share prices, with portfolio holdings trading at an average 25% discount to fair value. This stretched elastic band effect creates attractive prospective returns as valuations normalize over time. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 18, 2026 | Parnassus Mid Cap Growth Fund | -0.8% | 9.2% | ALC, APP, BILL, BLDR, DASH, GWW, HLT, HUBB, INSM, MORN, MPWR, ODFL, PWR, ROK, SN, SQ, TEAM, TER, WCN, WDAY | AI, growth, industrials, mid cap, portfolio, semiconductors, technology | The ongoing AI megatrend boosted demand for memory and storage while industry supply growth remained constrained. Holdings in Information Technology sector were dominant contributors through exposure to AI, primarily through semiconductor companies. The fund continues to see accelerating demand for AI models and cloud computing with no signs of slowdown. Semiconductor companies were primary beneficiaries of AI demand. Teradyne is starting to win new sockets and gain market share after investing in AI-semiconductor testers. KLA benefited from AI infrastructure build-out with strong earnings growth. The fund increased exposure to high-quality industrial businesses with potential for cyclical upturn. Added Quanta Services for AI data center build-out, Hubbell for electrical grid upgrades, Old Dominion for freight cycle recovery, and Waste Connections for secondary market focus. | MTD ROK KLA TER SNDK |
