However, scrutiny increased around AI-related revenue circularity, massive capital spending scale, and durability of longer-term returns on investment. The enthusiasm helped propel mega-cap tech stocks higher and drive market gains. Trade relations between the U.S. and China remained a key market focus with tariff escalations and export controls. China expanded export controls on rare earth minerals while the U.S. threatened 100% tariffs in retaliation. A one-year trade truce was ultimately reached between Presidents Trump and Xi Jinping. Global automation adoption accelerated amid labor shortages, rising wages, and increasing manufacturing complexity. FANUC demonstrated leadership in factory automation and industrial robotics, with robot sales in China growing over 80% year-over-year and collaboration with NVIDIA on AI-driven robotics solutions. | View | |

This enthusiasm helped propel mega-cap tech stocks higher and drive market gains. However, scrutiny increased around AI-related revenue circularity, massive capital spending scale, and durability of longer-term returns on investment. Trade relations between the U.S. and China remained a key market focus. Tensions flared with tariff escalations and export controls, with China expanding export controls on rare earth minerals and the U.S. threatening 100% tariffs in retaliation. President Trump and President Xi ultimately reached a one-year trade truce at the APEC summit. The Federal Reserve implemented two 0.25% interest rate cuts during the quarter, lowering the federal funds target range to 3.50%-3.75%. Fed Chair Powell emphasized a data-dependent approach, acknowledging risks to both sides of the Fed's dual mandate and maintaining a cautious stance going into 2026. Value stocks handily outperformed growth stocks with the Russell 1000 Value Index outperforming its Growth counterpart by 2.69% in the quarter. However, for the full year, the Russell 1000 Growth Index outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index by 2.65%, reflecting continued growth leadership despite quarterly value outperformance. | CBSH COF PH UBER SONY |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 22, 2026 | Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund | -1.8% | 11.3% | AMH, BKG.L, BRK-A, BYG.L, CBRE, DHI, FMCC, FNF, FNMA, FPH, JLL, LEN, PHM, PLD, RYN, SKY, SUI, UHAL, UTG.L, WY | Commercial, Homebuilders, real estate, REIT, Residential, value | Fund maintains significant exposure to commercial real estate platforms including real estate services, asset management, industrial and logistics properties, and self-storage facilities. These holdings represent platforms that would be very difficult to reassemble and comprise select pockets of commercial real estate with structural demand drivers and limited maintenance capital expenditure requirements. Fund holds positions in major U.S. homebuilders including Lennar Corp., D.R. Horton, PulteGroup, and Champion Homes. These companies are supported by near-record low levels of for-sale inventories, near-record high demand for affordable product, and industry dynamics favoring scaled players over time. Fund focuses on well-capitalized enterprises with discounted securities trading at more than a 20% discount to estimated Net Asset Value at year-end. The strategy targets strategic real estate at value prices with prospects to compound capital over time. Multiple portfolio companies engaged in share repurchase activities during the quarter, including Lennar Corp. completing an exchange offer that effectively acted as an accelerated share repurchase program, exchanging Millrose Properties shares for 5% of its outstanding A shares. | DBK GR BIRG ID 2330 TT HBR LN CS CN LUN CN HCC |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 21, 2026 | Smead Value Fund | 0.3% | 5.1% | AMGN, APA, AXP, CVE, DHI, EBAY, FANG, HD, LEN, MAC, MRK, OXY, SPG, UHAL | contrarian, energy, healthcare, Homebuilders, long-term, Market Extremes, S&P 500, value | The fund maintains a concentrated value approach designed to maximize long-term returns. The managers position themselves as contrarians, being greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy. They believe deeply out of favor parts of the index like healthcare, energy and homebuilders could receive money coming out of growth stocks. Higher rates have continued to weigh on the homebuilder space as well as an increase in inventory. The fund regards homebuilders' capacity to maintain construction activity throughout the cycle as a key competitive strength, with less resilient competitors likely to exit the market during prolonged cyclical downturns. | View | |
| Q4 2025 | Jan 16, 2026 | GDS Investments | - | - | ABNB, AMZN, CRWV, DEO, F, GE, GM, GOOGL, LEN, NVO, ORCL, RIVN, STZ, TDW, TREX, VAL, WMT, ZTS | AI, Buybacks, cyclicals, Electric Vehicles, Quality, Rotation, technology, value | AI-related infrastructure investment is beginning to unwind or recalibrate, with companies shifting from internal cash flows to debt financing. The manager expects a widening gap between pure AI infrastructure companies and those with diversified business models. Market rotation is expected away from speculative AI growth toward more traditional businesses. Share repurchases feature prominently across the portfolio as a signal of management confidence and value creation amplification. Multiple holdings have authorized significant buyback programs, including TDW ($500M), VAL ($600M ongoing), STZ ($4B), and others totaling billions in authorized repurchases. Rivian represents maybe the most exciting position in the portfolio, with the company developing its own autonomy platform and in-house chip (RAP1). The R2 model represents a pivotal moment, and partnerships with Volkswagen and Amazon have strengthened the balance sheet while expanding strategic options. The manager focuses on separating durable value from speculative excess, building positions in under-owned, under-valued businesses with strong balance sheets and leadership positions. The strategy involves finding high-quality businesses facing cyclical headwinds that have pushed market prices below intrinsic value. | RIVN TREX AMZN GOOG |
