| Q4 2025 | Feb 25, 2026 | The D. E. Shaw Group | - | - | AAPL, AMZN, AVGO, BRK-B, CVX, GE, GOOGL, IBM, JNJ, JPM, META, MSFT, NVDA, PG, TSLA, WFC, XOM | active management, AI, Concentration, market structure, Mega Cap, portfolio construction, risk management, technology | Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence have helped drive notably strong performance in a handful of mega cap stocks. The concentration in tech and AI-related companies has contributed to the current market dynamics where the ten largest S&P 500 constituents account for more than 40% of the index's weight. The document extensively analyzes how market concentration affects portfolio risk characteristics and active management strategies. It discusses the implications for risk models, beta distributions, and the challenges concentration poses for traditional risk management approaches in equity portfolios. The analysis focuses on how equity market concentration impacts the fundamental law of active management, transfer coefficients, and breadth of investment opportunities. It examines the structural changes in capital markets that affect managers' ability to generate alpha and express investment views effectively. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 20, 2026 | Harding Loevner Global Small Companies | 0.4% | 8.5% | AAPL, ADBE, AMD, AMZN, AVGO, CRM, CSCO, GOOGL, IBM, INTC, META, MSFT, NFLX, NOW, NVDA, ORCL, PYPL, QCOM, TSLA, TXN | global, healthcare, momentum, Quality, small caps, technology, value | The manager emphasizes quality-growth investing that demands relentless skepticism toward market narratives and constant scrutiny of company fundamentals. They focus on financially strong, well-managed companies with durable competitive advantages operating in industries poised for long-term growth. The letter discusses how price momentum is a well-documented phenomenon where securities whose prices have risen are more likely to keep rising in the short run. When momentum takes hold, fundamentals usually fade from view while narratives are used to justify price moves. AI enthusiasm has lifted hardware and semiconductor stocks while weighing on shares of software and services holdings. The manager notes that many AI-related winners lack clear basis for continuing, with some companies barely connected to the AI theme benefiting from momentum. Gold is trading at its highest inflation-adjusted level in five decades, but it is a volatile commodity. Gold-mining companies have not had a great history of profitability other than when prices are unusually high, making the current rally questionable for long-term returns. | 2344 TT DIA IM 298380 KS |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 15, 2026 | Columbia Dividend Opportunity Fund | 2.8% | 15.9% | ABBV, ALB, BAC, BLK, BRX, C, CSCO, DRI, GOOGL, GPC, GPS, GS, HD, IBM, IP, JNJ, JPM, LUV, MCD, MO, MRK, MU, PM, QRVO, SBUX, SWKS, T, UDR, XOM | AI, Banking, dividends, financials, Lithium, technology, value, Yield | The fund focuses on companies with historically consistent and increasing dividends, though dividend stocks generally underperformed during the quarter as investors favored speculative companies over defensive characteristics. The manager maintains a positive view on dividend-paying stocks as an out-of-favor segment largely devoid of speculative activity. The market remained supported by ongoing enthusiasm about the artificial intelligence theme, though there was a brief stretch of concern in November about a possible AI bubble. The manager sees potential for improved relative performance if excitement surrounding AI begins to cool. The quarter was characterized by broadening market leadership away from mega-cap technology companies, contributing to relative strength in the value style. The fund's investment universe offers fundamentally sound companies trading with attractive yields and reasonable valuations. A new position in mandatory convertible securities of lithium producer Albermarle made a sizable contribution as lithium prices rose due to reduced supply from China, and market participants became more optimistic about the metal's potential use in energy storage applications. | View | |
