| 2025 Q4 | Jan 31, 2026 | White Brook Capital | 0.0% | 0.0% | BLDR, FND, GOOG, JAKK, MSFT, MSTR, NVDA, PTLO, RPID, TSM | AI, crypto, growth, healthcare, inflation, semiconductors, small caps, value | The efficacy of AI expenditures started to be questioned during Q4 2025. Companies like Microsoft continue spending aggressively on cloud capacity, but value is now considered in customer context. The increasing competence of AI in performing tasks has begun impacting the software as a service sector, creating temporary losers in what was once an all-winners environment. Bitcoin treasury companies represent an ongoing investor mania that appears to be ending. These companies that turn bitcoin into stocks now trade meaningfully below the value of their bitcoin reserves, having broken the buck. They are trapped, unable to sell bitcoin to buy back shares or sell stock to buy bitcoin without driving down prices. The Small Cap Absolute Growth Strategy vastly exceeded expectations in 2025. Small and micro cap stocks offer potential for high returns for diligent, patient, and active investors. The strategy is concentrated in healthcare sector with 8 of the positions in healthcare, particularly technology, equipment, and tools industries. The manager owns Nvidia Corp and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation as best in class operators in the process of realizing a double, based on earnings growth due to their ability to extract the last of the rents from the artificial intelligence investment wave. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 27, 2026 | Gate City Capital | 2.7% | 15.4% | 1211.SR, ALCO, APP, BTU, DSP, EVC, HTLD, IPI, JAKK, MOS, TTD, XOM | Agriculture, energy, Media, Precious Metals, real estate, small caps, value | Gold and silver prices have continued their meteoric rise as large investors including central banks seek alternatives to U.S. Treasuries to preserve wealth. Silver prices rose nearly 150% in 2025, with both gold and silver reaching record highs. The inability of mining companies to increase production to meet elevated demand has led to soaring prices. The fund holds significant positions in fertilizer companies including Mosaic and Intrepid Potash. Mosaic is a market leading producer of potash and phosphate fertilizers in North America and the largest producer in Brazil. Intrepid produces potash from three U.S. solution mines and also mines Trio fertilizer, with potential for market share gains after competitor exits. Peabody Energy was the fund's top contributor in 2025, benefiting from strengthened domestic thermal coal prices as data center build-out strains the U.S. power grid. Metallurgical coal prices have increased substantially after a soft contracting season. Peabody's low-cost Centurion mine in Australia is ramping up production. Entravision was the fund's top performer in Q4, owning 49 television stations and 44 radio stations targeting Hispanic audiences. The company also operates a rapidly growing Advertising Technology & Services segment through Smadex subsidiary. Deregulation in broadcast television and radio should encourage industry consolidation. Alico continues as the fund's largest position, owning nearly 50,000 acres in Florida previously devoted to citrus farming. The company is undergoing strategic transformation, converting 75% of citrus acres to other agricultural purposes and 25% to higher and better use opportunities including residential and commercial developments. Heartland Express contributed positively as the extended three-year slowdown in U.S. trucking market shows signs of abating. Supply of available trucks has decreased as orders for new equipment have fallen sharply, while stricter enforcement of Commercial Drivers Licenses has decreased available drivers. Demand rose in holiday season with spot rates reaching multi-year highs. | ALCO JAKK IPI MOS HTLD BTU EVC |
