The portfolio underperformed due to underexposure to more speculative AI areas including small cap semiconductors and AI-hardware. Defensive positions with minimal AI-exposure were the largest detractors to relative performance. | View | |
| 2025 Q2 | Jul 21, 2025 | Wasatch Long/Short Alpha Fund | 0.5% | - | ENSG, FN, GWRE, HLP, HQY, INSP, KAI, MORN, NSA, OZK, RBC, RKLB, ROP, SG, SKY, WDAY | Beta, Defensive, Long/Short, Quality, risk-on, small cap, tariffs | The fund focuses on high-quality companies with proven earnings growth track records, strong free cash-flow generation, and trusted management teams. This quality focus was a headwind during the quarter as lower-quality stocks outperformed in the risk-on environment, but the manager believes this creates better expected returns for quality investing over the next three-to-five years. | SG RKLB HQY GWRE FN INSP NSA SKY HQY GWRE INSP NSA SKY |

Wasatch has three main considerations regarding AI: avoiding companies whose business models will be materially disrupted, being attracted to companies that can use AI to strengthen competitive positions or reduce costs, and being interested in certain companies directly involved in AI while cognizant of potential asymmetric risks and unreasonable valuations. | AGYS FIVN CWAN YETI HQY NVMI MEDP |

| 2025 Q4 | Feb 4, 2026 | Aristotle Small/Mid Cap Equity | 2.3% | 3.0% | AEIS, AER, AGI, AHCO, AUB, BJ, BKU, CIEN, DY, EHC, HASI, HMN, HQY, HURN, IDA, ITRI, MTSI, NOVT, PRGO, PWP, UGI, WWW | Banking, healthcare, industrials, small cap, technology, Utilities, value | AI-related demand is driving strong performance for optical networking equipment manufacturers like Ciena, which is dominating market share for scale across data center projects in 2026. The quarter began with concerns about a potential AI capital expenditures bubble affecting market sentiment. Power grid modernization efforts are driving demand for smart metering and grid monitoring solutions. Companies like Itron are well-positioned to benefit from these infrastructure investments despite some regulatory approval delays. Continued reshoring of U.S. manufacturing is identified as a potential tailwind for small/mid-cap stocks. This trend supports domestic manufacturing capabilities and creates opportunities for industrial companies. | View | |

JFrog is also positioned to benefit as generative AI adoption accelerates, driving the need to manage new binary types and increasing overall application complexity. | View | |

They continue to see opportunities in construction-related industries due to this unique cycle where many companies have strong balance sheets and higher than normal margin profiles. | View |
