| 2025 Q2 | Jun 30, 2025 | The Gabelli International Small Cap Fund | 13.8% | - | AAPL, AME, AMZN, AVGO, AXP, BATRA, BK, BMI, BMY, BRK.B, C, CAT, CHWY, CR, CVS, CVX, CW, DAN, DE, ELAN, EVRG, FRPT, GATX, GOOGL, GPC, HES, IDXX, ITT, JPM, KKR, LION, MA, META, MFI.TO, MLI, MSFT, MSGS, NEE, NEM, NFG, NFLX, NVDA, ORCL, PARA, RSG, SONY, SPGI, STT, T, TMUS, TRUP, V, WFC, ZTS | defense, energy, gold, Sports, tariffs, technology, Utilities | The Trump administration's tariff policies dominated market sentiment in Q2 2025, with Liberation Day (April 2) introducing sweeping tariffs that initially triggered a 21% market drawdown. However, a 90-day pause and bilateral trade agreements with key partners helped stabilize markets. The administration appears intent on rolling back globalization, with effective weighted average tariff rates potentially reaching 18%. | 5444 JP TCAP LN |

| 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 | |

Arista's AI revenue is targeted at $1.5 billion this year and expected to reach $2.75 billion next year, growing 60-70% and representing about 25% of revenue.

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 30, 2026 | BBH Select Series – Mid Cap Fund | -3.9% | -5.6% | ANET, ATR, BJ, BRO, CBRE, DAR, ENTG, FOUR, GFL, GWRE, GXO, HEI.A, ICLR, ITT, KEYS, LPLA, MCW, NVR, TTWO, TW, ULS, VMC, WH, WMS, WSC, WSO, WST, ZBRA | AI, fundamentals, Intrinsic Value, mid cap, profitability, Quality, technology, value | AI-related demand is driving the fastest growth in Keysight's wireline business and represented approximately 10% of Keysight total revenue in 2025. The enthusiasm for artificial intelligence driving enormous capital expenditures in associated infrastructure has been a key catalyst for the low-quality rally. Keysight is extremely well positioned to benefit from ongoing technology innovation across the wireless, networking, and semiconductor markets. The fund focuses on high-quality, profitable companies and avoids speculative ventures. Portfolio companies have grown revenues and EBITDA by 10% and 11% over the last twelve months, respectively, compared to 5% and 4% for the Index. The portfolio enjoys superior operating margins and return on equity of 20% and 17%, compared to 12% and 15% for the Index. The fund was trading at 82% of underlying intrinsic value estimates on a weighted-average basis as of December 31, 2025. The manager seeks to invest at a discount to intrinsic value to establish a margin of safety and mitigate the potential for permanent capital loss. While willing to pay a reasonable valuation multiple premium for quality, the focus remains on attractive valuations. | GWRE FOUR KEYS DAR |
