JFrog benefited as customers leveraged generative AI to improve developer productivity, driving increased binary creation and platform usage. The manager expects corporations to show continued productivity gains as AI is adopted to reduce costs and open new revenue opportunities. Data center activity was a key driver for several holdings. Vertiv Holdings benefited from robust data center infrastructure demand with 29% organic revenue growth. Legence Corp, an engineering and maintenance services company, was a strong contributor due to robust data center activity. Aerospace and defense players were among the best performers in 2025, including Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Karman Holdings, and RBC Bearings. The manager notes heightened aerospace and defense spending and improving margins in this sector. The manager expects small-cap companies to grow faster than large caps going forward, which is not typical of recent years. Better growth ahead for small caps could lead to market broadening and leadership change. Small caps have historically grown more slowly than large caps, contributing to extended underperformance. | View | |

They believe quality stocks will eventually reclaim leadership after periods of low-quality outperformance. Small Cap biotechnology and pharmaceuticals emerged as significant outperformers in Q4, representing 132% of the Russell 2000 Growth Index's total returns. The manager notes they are materially underweight this sector, which created headwinds for relative performance as biotech rallied 33% for the year. The market showed persistent preference for AI-related hardware and infrastructure stocks, with AI themes dominating Index returns. The manager notes that capital flowed into more speculative AI names within the benchmark, creating valuation compression for traditional quality holdings. Defense-related stocks were among the key drivers of benchmark performance, with investors concentrating capital in defense stocks. The manager notes their lack of exposure to defense contractors weighed on relative results as this sector outperformed significantly. | GNRC BSY CSGP VEEV POOL WST IDXX ROL RGEN JKHY |

The market experienced extreme leadership concentrated in low-quality, high-beta, unprofitable stocks during the April-October rally. However, profitable stocks began outperforming unprofitable counterparts by over 5% from mid-October through year-end, suggesting high-quality stocks may be reclaiming leadership.
