| 2025 Q4 | Mar 1, 2026 | iMGP Small Company Fund | 1.3% | 0.0% | AAP, AMKR, APPF, MANH, NVDA, PRM, RBC, UAMY | AI, Biotech, defense, growth, healthcare, Quality, small caps, technology | AI remained a significant driver throughout 2025, with AI-related stocks recovering after initial volatility from Chinese competitor DeepSeek and becoming the dominant theme again in late 2025. The market saw broadening beyond AI with materials performing well, but AI continues to be a desired area driving investment decisions. Biotech companies rallied over 25% in the fourth quarter, driven by a series of high-profile biotech acquisitions by large pharma buyers. The managers generally avoid biotech stocks due to their highly binary nature, though they participate through investments in companies that sell products and services to biotech customers. Defense spending themes emerged through specific investments like Antimony Corporation, which won a $245 million five-year sole source contract to rebuild the U.S. antimony supply for military use, taking advantage of export restrictions from China. RBC Bearings' Aerospace and Defense business was particularly strong. | View | |
