| 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 |

| 2025 Q4 | Feb 12, 2026 | RS Large Cap Val Strategy | 5.8% | 16.2% | C, CHKP, ETN, GOOGL, KEY, MDLZ, PNC, REGN, SEE, TEVA, ZBRA | AI, Data centers, financials, Grid Upgrade, healthcare, large cap, ROIC, value | AI has been a key theme driving popular equity indexes higher and creating unusual market dynamics with elevated concentration risk. The rapid integration of artificial intelligence may drive significant long-term productivity gains and provide a counterweight to softening employment conditions and inflationary pressures. Value stocks outperformed growth counterparts in Q4, with the Russell 3000 Value Index gaining 3.8% versus 1.1% for growth. The team sees intriguing investment opportunities in value-oriented stocks that are being largely ignored, creating an attractive backdrop for stock pickers. Strong demand for data centers has accelerated sales for companies like Eaton Corporation. The buildout of AI-associated data centers is driving increased demand and margin improvements for companies benefiting from this infrastructure spend. The need for upgraded electric grids has accelerated demand for Eaton's products. The process of electrification and grid investment should provide improvements in ROIC along with additional benefits from AI infrastructure spend. | ETN SEE |

Broadcom, Oracle, and Lam Research benefited from growing data center demand and AI-driven contracts. The fund reduced exposure after strong gains, mindful of potential macro risks from rate policy and tariffs. | View | |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 23, 2026 | American Century Equity Income Fund | 1.8% | 11.9% | BDX, EPD, GOOGL, JNJ, JPM, MCD, MCHP, MDLZ, MDT, MMC, MU, NSC, PEP, PNC, RHHBY, SYY, TFC, UL | Consumer Staples, dividends, financials, healthcare, Quality, value | The fund continues to focus on higher-quality companies with stable revenues and profits, low indebtedness, resilient cash flows and predictable business models that are less sensitive to economic conditions. This approach is viewed as offering resilience amid continuing inflation and uncertain macroeconomic conditions. Healthcare led all sectors in the fourth quarter after being beaten down for much of the year. The fund remains keen on healthcare stocks, particularly those in the healthcare equipment and supplies industry, because they are attractively valued and demand tends to be less susceptible to changes in the economic environment. The fund's investment objective focuses on current income and long-term capital growth, with a strategy of investing in companies believed to be undervalued. The portfolio positioning emphasizes income generation through dividend-paying stocks and preferred securities. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 20, 2026 | OAM Asian Recovery Fund | 0.0% | 9.5% | 0700.HK, 1919.HK, AAXJ, MDLZ, MMYT, NVDA | ASEAN, Asia, China, Consumer Finance, Quality, Travel, value | India's burgeoning travel sector exemplified by MakeMyTrip benefits from rising household incomes and expanding middle class. India opened more than 70 new airports last year and airlines have massive order books for new jets. The transformation of Mumbai's airport terminal from chaos to capacity constraints demonstrates the rapid growth in India's traveling class. Asian retail investors are shifting from traditional assets like gold and property toward equities through systematic investment plans. In India, retail investors are moving monthly savings to SIPs similar to US 401K plans. Chinese households are also shifting from property concentration toward equities as private pension products open new channels for capital market flows. Quality companies in emerging economies with high return on equity, low debt, and steady growth characteristics underperformed benchmark indices by 17 percentage points last year. The fund invests in steadily growing, high ROE, low debt or net cash companies serving ASEAN consumers that are trading at less than 11x earnings with over 30% return on capital employed. Asian equities are moderately valued while US equities are very expensive, similar to conditions in 2000. ASEAN markets are trading at valuation levels last seen during the Global Financial Crisis. The fund's quality holdings are trading at less than 11x earnings with 5% dividend yields despite generating 30% returns on capital. Chinese households are shifting from property concentration toward equities as real estate weakness changes attitudes. Private pension products are opening new channels for household wealth to flow into capital markets with annual inflows estimated to increase 10-fold to over RMB 1 trillion by 2030. The RMB appears significantly undervalued and poised for appreciation. ASEAN markets are completely off foreign investors' radar screens and have been massively de-rated over the past four years. Most ASEAN markets now have a total market value less than America's largest company. Indonesia and Philippines are trading at valuation levels last seen during the Global Financial Crisis. | MMYT |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 15, 2026 | Contrarius Global Equity Fund | 6.5% | 54.4% | 000660.KS, BIDU, COIN, DELL, DEO, FOXA, GOOGL, KER.PA, LULU, MDLZ, MU, NVDA, ORCL, PARA, RI.PA, SATS, TSLA, TSM, UHR.SW | AI, contrarian, disruption, global, Satellites, Space, technology, value | The fund views AI disruption as creating three investment buckets: AI winners (data centers, semiconductors, blockchain companies), AI-proof companies (luxury brands, spirits, entertainment), and AI-threatened businesses to avoid. This technological singularity is expected to cause dramatic changes beyond typical generational disruptions. The fund focuses on identifying companies with sustainable competitive advantages in this transformative environment. SpaceX has revolutionized space travel with reusable rockets and dominates launch services, carrying over 500,000kg of spacecraft mass in Q3 2025 alone. The company is uniquely positioned for emerging opportunities in interplanetary logistics, in-orbit data centers, and asteroid mining. EchoStar provides indirect exposure to SpaceX through strategic transactions at attractive valuations. Starlink has achieved significant scale with millions of active customers and is expanding into direct-to-cell services for smartphones. The satellite internet constellation aims to deliver high-speed, low-latency broadband globally, particularly to underserved areas. This represents a major growth opportunity in telecommunications infrastructure. EchoStar's transformation involved monetizing valuable spectrum licenses worth billions, resolving regulatory issues with the FCC. The company sold spectrum to AT&T and SpaceX for over $40 billion combined, demonstrating the significant value of these invisible wireless highways. Remaining spectrum assets provide additional monetization opportunities. The fund holds luxury brands like Kering, Swatch Group, and spirits companies as AI-proof investments. These companies with strong brand moats and pricing power are expected to endure and potentially thrive despite AI disruption. Their business models are considered resilient to technological changes affecting other industries. | SATS |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 13, 2026 | Oakmark Global Fund | 5.2% | 21.2% | 005930.KS, BABA, CHTR, CNHI, DSV.CO, GM, IQV, IT, MBG.DE, MDLZ | consumer, global, healthcare, Performance, semiconductors, technology, value | Samsung Electronics was the top contributor as earnings staged a sharp recovery due to strength in its core semiconductor business. The company's High Bandwidth Memory product lineup has continued to improve under new management, positioning Samsung as one of the world's leading semiconductor companies with a long runway for future growth. Alibaba Group was the top detractor despite its core E-commerce business continuing to perform well and Cloud revenue growth accelerating. The company was negatively impacted by significant spending on subsidies to grow their Quick Commerce business, though losses are expected to be reduced over time. Mondelez International is a global snacking powerhouse with leading market share positions in crackers, cookies and chocolate. The company possesses a unique global footprint that over-indexes to snacking occasions, benefiting from robust pricing power, low private label competition and rising per capita consumption. | MDLZ IT BABA 005930 KS |
