| 2025 Q4 | Feb 18, 2026 | The Gabelli Dividend Growth Fund | 5.2% | 18.8% | AIG, AMZN, C, GOOG, IP, MDLZ, MRK, MS, NEM, ORCL, PNC, PRGO, SATS, WFC | AI, dividends, financials, gold, healthcare, value | AI euphoria faded in Q4 but companies in the AI ecosystem continued to deliver impressive results against high expectations. Concerns mounted around ever-increasing capex outlays and financing of sizable capex commitments. The commoditized see-saw battle among five major LLMs for next generation model leadership continues. The Fund focuses on dividend-paying stocks and benefited from M&A activity and a large position in gold miner Newmont. Despite a modestly defensive posture throughout 2025, the Fund benefited from appreciating stocks that were sized as larger positions. Gold had its best year with the price of gold benefiting the Fund's position in gold miner Newmont, which was one of the top contributors. Gold served as an inflation hedge and store of value amid macroeconomic uncertainty. | NEM MS GOOG |

The managers believe competitive differentiation will become more important as AI investment evolves. | View | |
| 2024 Q4 | Dec 31, 2024 | BNY Mellon Global Equity Income Fund | -5.4% | 6.4% | 1299.HK, AAPL, AMZN, AVGO, CME, CSCO, DPW.DE, EXC, FHN, GILD, GOOGL, IP, JCI, MDT, NVDA, PEP, SBUX, SNY, SYY, TSLA | dividends, financials, global, income, rates, technology, value | The fund maintains strict yield discipline and cannot hold mega-cap technology stocks due to their low yields. Income stock valuations remain compelling, with stocks offering above-average income rates trading at substantial discounts to low-income stocks. The strategy has zero weightings in the magnificent seven technology stocks and instead focuses on dividend-paying sectors. | View | |

| 2024 Q4 | Jan 28, 2025 | Artemis US Select Fund | 10.8% | 29.5% | AAPL, AMZN, AVTR, BLDR, CEG, COHR, CPRI, ELV, FI, FWONK, GS, IP, KKR, LIN, NVDA, SAIA, TPG, UNH, VST, WMT | AI, Capital markets, energy, large cap, stock selection, technology, Trump | The mega caps' massive spending on AI has lifted various businesses from clean power producers to companies providing skilled labor to build data centers. This theme is likely to continue in the race to develop the best AI offering, though questions remain about forward returns impact. | View | |
| 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 | |

NVIDIA alone has contributed nearly one-third of equity market returns with its +150% increase year to date. | SBUX IP |

Data center companies like Marvell continue to benefit from hyperscaler buildouts despite DeepSeek concerns. SailPoint's AI integration has expanded its addressable market for identity security solutions. | View |
