| 2025 Q4 | Feb 18, 2026 | Starboard Value | 0.0% | 0.0% | AMD, APLD, CIFR, DLR, EQIX, HUT, RIOT, WULF | Activist, AI, crypto, Data centers, Power, value | Riot is positioned to capitalize on the massive AI/HPC data center opportunity as AI companies scale capacity exponentially. The company's sites are well-suited for AI training, inference, edge computing, and various data center applications, with power being the biggest constraint for AI buildout. Riot's transformation from bitcoin mining to AI/HPC data centers represents tremendous value creation potential. The company has 1.7GW of fully available power at prime locations that could generate over $1.6 billion of annual EBITDA if monetized at recent precedent transaction rates. Cryptocurrency mining companies have become attractive sources of near-term power capacity for AI/HPC companies. From August to year-end 2025, four crypto mining companies announced AI/HPC deals for approximately 1.4GW of gross capacity at attractive leasing rates. | RIOT |

| 2025 Q4 | Feb 17, 2026 | AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund | 3.5% | 7.2% | AEIS, AGIO, CIFR, CSWI, CVLT, DAVA, DSGX, FLYW, GMED, HUT, INTA, ITT, MTSI, PAR, QBTS, RARE, RBC, SATS, SF, SKY, SLG, SPXC, STRL, SUPN, THR, VIAV, WULF | healthcare, industrials, materials, Quality, small caps, technology, Trade Policy, value | The Russell 2000 Index delivered 12.8% returns for 2025 despite significant volatility, with a 23% drop by April followed by a 40% recovery. The small cap environment was characterized by narrow performance driven by low-quality, speculative stocks, with the top 25 contributors delivering over 50% of benchmark returns. The investment environment overwhelmingly favored lower quality stocks, with non-earners gaining 19.6%, negative equity stocks up 37.2%, and highest beta names advancing 26.1%. The fund's deliberate focus on higher-quality stocks with earnings support was a general headwind throughout the year. Artificial intelligence investment was a key area of market focus during 2025, though the fund questioned when investors would see returns from billions of dollars spent on AI infrastructure. The fund avoided speculative AI plays in favor of companies with more established fundamentals. Uncertain trade policy and the friction it added to the system was the biggest distraction during 2025. Companies now mostly have a sense of the rules of global trade and are adjusting, which could provide more stability going forward. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 20, 2026 | Minotaur Global Opportunities Fund | 0.0% | 0.0% | ADBE, CRM, GOOGL, HUBS, HUT, MSFT, NVDA, TEAM | AI, Automation, Data centers, infrastructure, software, technology | AI has experienced a step-change in capability through two key shifts: skills that expand what AI can touch, and loops that move from chatting to continuous iteration. The Ralph Wiggum technique of running AI in loops until tasks are complete has gone viral, enabled by better models like Claude Opus 4.5 and GPT-5.2. Software stocks have been hammered as AI threatens traditional software business models through build vs buy dynamics, competitive intensity, and per-seat pricing pressure. The fund reduced software exposure including cutting Atlassian due to shifting unit economics and defensibility concerns. The fund initiated a position in Hut 8 following their 15-year, $7 billion data center lease to Anthropic backed by Google. The project yields approximately 15% unlevered in year one with 3% annual escalators, representing contracted investment-grade infrastructure. | TEAM HUT |
