The pendulum for regulators has swung toward being more favorable for M&A activity, creating opportunities for those positioned to take advantage. Tariffs and the current U.S. administration's goals are creating a monumental shift in the global economy. Onshoring and supply chain re-optimization will create new winners and losers as companies adapt to changing trade dynamics. AI is viewed as the biggest catalyst to be let loose into economies, creating a sea of change. This technological shift is expected to drive significant transformation across industries and create new investment opportunities. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 17, 2026 | Cullen Enhanced Equity Income Fund | 2.0% | 7.5% | AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, JPM, KVUE, META, MSFT, NSC, NVDA, QCOM, TSLA, UNH, UNP | AI, dividends, growth, healthcare, income, rates, technology, value | The manager discusses the AI boom extensively, noting that hyperscalers continue to escalate capital spending on AI data centers while several Industrial and Utilities companies benefit from the buildout. However, they express concern that markets have already discounted much future AI-driven growth, with $9-$12 trillion of post-2022 market cap gains unexplained by fundamentals. The aggressive AI spending has materially slowed free cash flow and earnings growth for hyperscalers. The strategy focuses heavily on dividend-paying stocks, with a large dividend contribution of 4.1% and total yield of 7.2% for the year. The manager notes that defensive and dividend-oriented sectors are now at multi-decade lows in index weight and investor interest, trading at unusually attractive relative valuations. They believe equity income is becoming increasingly competitive as money market yields decline from their peaks. The manager emphasizes that Value stocks are positioned for outperformance, noting the Growth-to-Value valuation spread is near historical extremes at nearly 100% premium versus the long-term average of 57%. They highlight extreme underweight positioning, elevated valuations in growth, and historically favorable mean-reversion dynamics as creating a compelling setup for value stocks to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns. The Federal Reserve cut rates twice in Q4 to the current range of 3.50% to 3.75%, following a September cut. The manager views the Fed's easing cycle positively for high-dividend stocks, as declining short-term rates should make equity dividend yields increasingly attractive compared to money market funds. They note nearly $8 trillion is currently invested in money market funds with yields falling from peaks above 5% to 3.7%. The manager expresses concern about elevated risk appetite and speculative excess, noting that leveraged ETFs now represent roughly 1% of total ETF assets but account for over 12% of trading volume. They highlight that retail investors now account for roughly 25% of total trading volume, more than twice the long-term average, which has historically served as a signpost of market excess and potential tops. | NSC JPM KVUE UNP UNH QCOM |

Australian bond yields increased significantly with three year bonds rising over 60 basis points and 10 year bonds almost 50 basis points, representing a shift from rate cut expectations to multiple rate increase expectations in 2026. The fund increased exposure to fixed interest rates during the quarter as markets became overly optimistic about cash rate increases in 2026. Management believes multiple rate increases would put notable downward pressure on the economy given cost-of-living pressures and higher house prices remain issues. | View | |

Portfolio holdings Freeport McMoRan, Teck Resources, and BHP delivered strong performance. The fund maintains conviction in copper due to tightening supply, record prices, and geopolitical uncertainty. Gold gained 12% in the quarter, reaching record highs and delivering extraordinary 64% gains for 2025. Monetary policy uncertainty and geopolitical tensions provided positive backdrop. Portfolio holdings Newmont and Northern Star Resources contributed meaningfully to performance. Union Pacific's proposed merger with Norfolk Southern would create the first coast-to-coast rail network in the US, potentially unlocking rail's potential to capture long-distance freight. The unified network could benefit broader US supply chains and provide the next leg of growth for an industry that has relied on efficiency gains. European banking sector produced strong outperformance led by Bank of Ireland, Lloyds Banking Group, and CaixaBank. Sector returns supported by interest rate stabilization and yield curve steepening. The market is transitioning toward improving organic loan growth after fifteen years of stagnant credit activity. | CRN LN APO SHL GR UNP LLOY LN BIRG LN IMI LN TECK FCX |

This builds resilience and meets future demand from AI, 5G/6G, and advanced auto. The fund seeks direct beneficiaries of this capital expenditure cycle. Focus expands beyond Generative AI and LLMs to Physical AI—the integration of AI/ML into autonomous physical systems and advanced robotics. The next wave of productivity will come from intelligent machines executing complex real-world tasks. This includes foundational AI infrastructure, Edge AI hardware, and advanced Industrial/Service Robotics. The fund is positioned around the thesis that the U.S. Government will spend whatever amount necessary to assist the government-private industry partnership to reshore the semiconductor industry. Companies like Applied Materials dominate wafer fabrication equipment as AI, advanced packaging, and memory capex ramp globally. Broader echo of the semiconductor trend covering other critical industries like rare earth metals, batteries, and pharmaceuticals where focus is shifting from lowest-cost sourcing to supply chain resilience.

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 | |

Quality factors were headwinds during Q4 as volatility factors outperformed, but the manager believes the environment is becoming more conducive to fundamentals where earnings growth, dividends, and balance-sheet strength matter more than valuation multiple expansion. Value outperformed Growth across the market cap spectrum during Q4, with value factors being the primary driver of returns, led by stocks trading at lower prices relative to sales and book value. The manager sees growing value in true active share and diversified exposure to high-quality businesses in a market defined by elevated valuations and concentration risk. The manager focuses on companies with strong capital allocation and dividend-paying capabilities. Several portfolio holdings like Chubb and BlackRock are highlighted for their steady capital returns and aggressive buyback programs, reinforcing the emphasis on shareholder-oriented management and consistent dividend policies. | RSG NSC BLK NEU FI CB FDX GOOG |
