| 2025 Q4 | Jan 24, 2026 | Miller Howard Investments Income-Equity Strategies | 15.6% | 15.6% | ABBV, C, COP, CSCO, EMN, ETR, GILD, GPS, GSK, HRB, HRL, JEF, JNJ, JPM, MPLX, MTB, PAYX, RF, STT, VICI, VZ | AI, dividends, income, productivity, value | AI represents a transformative technology that could drive step-change improvements in economic productivity. The manager believes AI's greatest impact will come from companies using it as an input to improve operations rather than those selling AI products. Many dividend-paying companies in labor-intensive industries could benefit significantly from AI adoption through process automation and efficiency gains. The portfolio focuses on high dividend yields approximately 3x the S&P 500, with strong dividend coverage ratios and projected dividend growth. Six companies increased dividends in the quarter, led by MPLX with a 13% increase. The strategy emphasizes collecting high and rising dividends while compounding real cash returns through disciplined reinvestment. The portfolio trades at significant discounts to the broad market, with P/E ratios 40-42% below the S&P 500. The manager believes many steady-growing companies are overlooked by markets focused on AI winners, creating opportunities in businesses with lower assumed margins and productivity that could benefit from AI adoption. | View | |

Questions remain about quantifying efficiency gains and monetary benefits versus the immense capital outlays by providers. Ryanair represents the fund's largest position at 9.4%, benefiting from earlier aircraft deliveries and upgraded traffic expectations. Management expects reasonable net profit growth with strengthening competitive positioning. The fund follows a value-oriented approach, buying more of poorly performing investments as they decline. The managers acknowledge the value investor's curse of buying too early and selling too early, citing examples of premature exits from gold miners and semiconductor companies. | View | |

They suggest Alphabet's 20.8% return was driven more by AI sentiment than fundamentals. The manager warns that AI-driven valuations may be unsustainable, citing historical examples of tech bubble collapses. | View | |

Canadian companies like Linamar are particularly exposed, while broader implications affect auto dealers, recreational vehicle producers, and other businesses with international supply chains. | THO RHI MCK BABA |

Regis Resources gained 46.3% and Northern Star 32.0%, with Agnico Eagle also performing well at 18.6%. The fund completed its divestment of Northern Star after a 2.6-year holding period that returned 18.5%. | View |
