Investors shifted towards precious metals as a safe haven for wealth preservation, with global ETF demand soaring and China buying gold hand-over-fist. Gold overtook US Treasuries as the primary reserve asset in central banks worldwide. Precious metals mining stocks soared with the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index increasing 176.5% and NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index climbing 158.28%. The Fund's 23.4% allocation to 22 precious metals mining positions delivered 35.01 percentage points of Fund returns. Despite recent gains, the sector remains substantially undervalued vis-à-vis the market. WTI crude prices dropped 19.9% in 2025, delivering oil's worst year since 2020. OPEC incrementally increased production quotas by 2.9 million barrels/day amid trade tensions while Chinese demand growth moderated. The oil-to-gold ratio is now at historic lows outside the 2020 pandemic, suggesting oil assets may be undervalued debasement safe-havens. Hyperscalers are investing nearly $1.5 trillion in capex over the next 24 months for data-center construction. Data centers will grow to represent 12% of all US energy use by 2028, up from 4.4% in 2023. This creates investment opportunities in electricity and natural gas producers as reliable power generation becomes a key bottleneck. Natural gas pricing was flat with spot Henry Hub prices edging up just 1.46% from a year ago. However, natural gas appears to have fully recovered from its glut as substantial North American LNG export capacity came online and data-center electricity requirements increased demand for natural gas generation. The dollar index delivered a nearly 10% decline over the year as investor sentiment towards the dollar weakened considerably. Factors included federal debt topping $38 trillion, a more dovish Federal Reserve, increasing American tariffs, and dollar weaponization through financial system sanctions. | ASTL CN CVE CN CYL AU ORE CN EQX CN |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 14, 2026 | Riverwater Micro Opportunities Strategy | 0.0% | 0.0% | AVD, AVID, CLMB, FSBC, IRMD, LEU, LMNR, MAMA, MEC, NCMI, NGS, PLOW, PWP, UROY | AI, Biotechnology, fundamentals, Microcap, nuclear, Quality, rates, value | The manager emphasizes investment discipline centered on higher-quality businesses that are profitable or approaching profitability with attractive returns on invested capital. They believe quality businesses should regain leadership as fundamentals reassert themselves as the primary driver of returns. While remaining long-term believers in AI and acknowledging that large platforms are positioned to benefit, the manager views many smaller AI-tied companies as facing greater operational and financial risk than current valuations suggest. They avoided AI-adjacent themes that drove speculative performance in 2025. The Materials sector was the top performer for the year driven by investments in the nuclear energy space. Centrus Energy Corp was a big winner before being sold in Q4 as valuation reflected much of the good news, while Uranium Royalty Corp is held to play rising uranium prices expected this year. The manager struggled with biotech exposure as the sector rallied 31% in Q4, but finds it difficult to allocate as many companies are large risk, large reward binary investments outside their area of expertise. They continue to avoid direct biotech exposure while favoring micro-cap MedTech companies that benefit from improving biotech funding. A key tailwind entering 2026 is easing monetary policy with the Federal Reserve's shift toward rate cuts being especially supportive for micro-cap companies. Lower interest rates and a steeper yield curve can meaningfully reduce capital costs, improve liquidity, and support incremental investment for micro-caps. | PLOW NGS LMNR AVD IRMD |
