| 2025 Q4 | Jan 24, 2026 | Miller Howard Investments Infrastructure | -2.9% | 8.8% | AMT, CEG, LNG, MPC, NEE, NGG, PEG, SRE, T, TMUS, TRGP, UPS, VZ, XEL | Data centers, dividends, energy, infrastructure, nuclear, Utilities | The US nuclear industry is undergoing its most significant shift in decades with rising electricity demand, policy support, and emerging technologies creating foundation for long-term capacity expansion. The manager views companies with existing nuclear assets and restart plans as ideal investments with attractive risk/reward profiles. Rising electricity demand driven by data centers is a key growth driver, with hyperscalers signing multiple power purchase agreements for nuclear offtake. Data centers have power demands ranging from 50 MW to 2 GW and are willing to sign agreements at premium prices for nuclear generation. The portfolio offers high dividend yield over 2.5x the S&P 500 Index with strong prospects for dividend growth and ample coverage. Eight holdings announced dividend increases this quarter with an average increase of 9.5%. Policy support through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and Inflation Reduction Act has provided financial support and tax credits for nuclear development, putting it on level ground with wind and solar while creating a floor for existing nuclear fleet. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 24, 2026 | Miller Howard North American Energy Fund | 1.0% | 6.1% | CHRD, CNQ, CVE, CVX, EQT, GPOR, HES, LBRT, MPC, OKE, OXY, PBA, PSX, RRC, SM, SU, VLO, XOM | Data centers, dividends, energy, Natural Gas, North America, oil, Refiners | Pressure pumpers are seeing growing interest in supplying power to data centers under long-term contractual arrangements. Mobile generation equipment can be deployed within weeks at competitive efficiency levels. Liberty Energy announced a positive 1GW data center power generation project by year-end 2027. Natural gas prices rallied sharply amid a cold start to winter in the US, supported by strong LNG exports and rising data center power demand. The portfolio reduced natural gas price exposure by selling EQT Corp and trimming Range Resources Corp. Oil prices drifted lower on a near-term supply glut and closed the quarter in the mid-$50/bbl range. Adjusted for inflation, prices are near century lows. At current prices, E&Ps are expected to further rein in production with US supply likely to decline in 2026. The portfolio increased Valero and Phillips 66 on strong refinery dynamics. Marathon Petroleum had a rare refinery earnings miss on operational items believed to be one-time, with favorable 2026 capex guidance. The portfolio currently offers an indicated yield of 3.2% that is well supported down to roughly $45/bbl oil, with potential for significantly larger variable capital returns at higher commodity prices. Suncor Energy raised its dividend 5.3% amid strong buybacks. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 20, 2026 | Polaris Global Equity | 7.0% | 26.8% | 000270.KS, 000660.KS, 005930.KS, 1299.HK, 2318.HK, 5871.TW, 6758.T, 8001.T, 8002.T, 8591.T, 8729.T, ALSN, ARW, BABA, BARRY.SW, CAP.PA, CG, COF, DHL.DE, IAG.L, INGR, JAZZ, LIN, LNTH, LTM, LUN.TO, MG.TO, MKSI, ML.PA, MPC, NVS, NXT.L, SBH, SMWRQ, TSN, UTHR, VIPS, YAR.OL | AI, diversification, global, international, Outperformance, semiconductors, technology, value | AI demand drove performance across semiconductor and technology sectors, with memory chip suppliers benefiting from supply-demand constraints and expected price increases in 2026. Companies like SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, and MKS Inc. delivered strong results driven by accelerating AI demand across semiconductor and advanced electronics end markets. Memory manufacturers in Korea were top contributors as supply-demand constraints benefit memory chip suppliers. The market expects memory price increases in 2026, further supporting performance of Samsung and SK Hynix. AI-driven demand across semiconductor end markets accelerated growth. The investment approach remains disciplined and focused on strong cash flows from quality companies selling essential products and services with good management teams creating shareholder value. The manager seeks situations where attractive valuations meet genuine business momentum, avoiding trends and distant promises. International equities outperformed after a decade of American dominance, driven by weaker U.S. dollar, more attractive valuations abroad, and slowing momentum in U.S. tech. This country and sector rotation validated the need for diversification instead of home bias, with attractive opportunities in targeted developed and emerging markets. Yara International benefited from partnerships for low-carbon ammonia projects in the U.S. and Middle East, positioning the company toward becoming an energy-transition and low-carbon fertilizer company while securing long-dated contracts. HD Hyundai Electric capitalized on increased demand to expand power infrastructure. | 267260 KS UTHR JAZZ CAP FP MKSI 000660 KS |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 18, 2026 | Distillate Capital Fundamental Stability & Value | 0.0% | 0.0% | BMY, CAH, CSCO, ELV, FFIV, FI, GPS, HCA, JBHT, JNJ, LOW, MO, MPC, MRK, REGN, TDC, TEL, TMUS, UBER, VST | free cash flow, fundamentals, international, Quality, rebalancing, small caps, valuation, value | The firm emphasizes systematic value investing through their proprietary free cash flow valuation methodology. They focus on stocks trading at attractive valuations while avoiding richly valued names, with their U.S. FSV strategy trading at more than double the free cash flow yield of the S&P 500. The strategy systematically rotates out of names that have increased in value and reinvests into less expensive stocks. The firm filters for high quality companies with stable cash flows and low debt levels. Their investment process excludes negative free cash flow companies and avoids those with high amounts of leverage while seeking fundamental stability. This quality focus has historically been smart but was a drag on returns in 2025 as unprofitable stocks outperformed significantly. The firm sees significant opportunity in small and mid-sized U.S. stocks, though selectivity is critical given the large number of unprofitable and heavily-indebted companies. Their small/mid strategy filters out negative free cash flow companies and high leverage names. The S&P 600 excludes many troubled names and has considerably outperformed the Russell 2000 over time. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 18, 2026 | Distillate Capital Small/Mid Cap Quality & Value | 0.0% | 0.0% | BMY, CAH, CSCO, ELV, FFIV, FI, GPS, HCA, JBHT, JNJ, LOW, MO, MPC, MRK, REGN, TDC, TEL, TMUS, UBER, VST | free cash flow, fundamentals, Quality, rebalancing, small cap, valuation, value | The letter extensively discusses valuation concerns across markets, highlighting that U.S. equities are historically expensive and trading at levels typically associated with subdued future returns. The firm's strategies focus on finding attractively valued stocks where quality and value overlap, with their portfolios trading at significant discounts to benchmarks. Quality is a core focus of the firm's investment process, emphasizing cash flow stability and avoiding highly leveraged or unprofitable companies. The letter discusses how their strategies systematically filter out negative free cash flow companies and those with high debt levels while seeking fundamental stability. The letter identifies significant opportunities in small and mid-sized U.S. stocks, noting that avoiding high debt levels and money-losing businesses has historically been smart but was a drag on returns in 2025. The firm sees this as creating attractive entry points for quality small cap investing. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 18, 2026 | Distillate Capital Large Cap Value | 0.0% | 8.6% | 000660.KS, 005930.KS, BMY, CAH, CSCO, ELV, FFIV, FI, HCA, JBHT, JNJ, LOW, MO, MPC, MRK, REGN, TEL, TMUS, UBER, VST | FCF, fundamentals, international, Quality, rebalancing, small caps, valuation, value | U.S. equities are historically expensive by any measure and at levels typically associated with subdued future returns. The S&P 500 is trading near record multiples with just 20 stocks accounting for over 50% of the market at a 120% premium to the rest. Historical analysis shows that rich starting valuations correlate with lower longer-term returns. Despite rich overall market valuations, many high quality stocks remain attractively valued. The firm's large cap strategy trades at a free cash flow yield more than double the S&P 500 and 60% above Russell 1000 Value. Value stocks significantly outperformed after the 2000 tech bubble when similar valuation disparities existed. Significant opportunities exist in smaller stocks where avoiding high debt levels and money-losing businesses has historically been smart but was an enormous drag on returns in 2025. Negative free cash flow stocks comprised 35% of Russell 2000 and rose 67% on average, demonstrating unusual market conditions. | View | |
