The manager notes AI will transform the world and productivity but questions its investability and who wins. The manager expects the next reflation cycle will be substantial, with liquidity flooding the system and searching for places to flow. Money needs to be absorbed and finds its way into financial assets, durable businesses, and anything with credible narratives. Core gains were led by semiconductor-related adjacencies including Micron and Camtek. The fund remains particularly focused on key critical OS platform businesses and semiconductor-related adjacencies. Materials sector exposure to the agricultural-fertilizer industry via Intrepid Potash, Nutrien, and CF Industries was a positive contributor to results. The fund maintains exposure across the fertilizer value chain. Long-standing position in gold and copper miner Barrick Mining finally moved higher as a reflection of gains in the underlying yellow metal. The fund maintains exposure to precious metals mining. Playing on the continued theme of infrastructure spending, defense and energy sustainability, positions in Industrial and Energy sectors including Oshkosh, Coterra, OSI Systems, and Herc Holdings added positively to performance. | View | |

The manager draws parallels between today's AI environment and the 2014-15 oil collapse, noting that AI infrastructure is profoundly energy-intensive and faces physical constraints including rising electricity prices and grid capacity challenges. Energy plays a critical role in AI infrastructure economics, with data centers becoming major electricity consumers. Rising power costs compress margins while grid constraints and regulatory scrutiny influence deployment timelines. The manager emphasizes that unlike software-driven growth, AI compute cannot be scaled independently of physical energy reality. Many AI-exposed companies trade at multiples assuming near-flawless execution, creating valuation risk despite current profitability. The manager notes that when confidence is high, markets forgive delays and cost overruns, but when confidence wanes, these factors can catalyze abrupt repricing. Late-cycle environments show conviction persisting even as marginal buyers grow cautious. | TREX TKR DY EXTR LOB OSK GNRC CXT APG DAR |

Quality small caps are trading at significant discounts to quality large caps while historically trading at premiums. The fund sees growing opportunity set as capital withdraws from actively managed small value strategies. The fund focuses on quality companies with balance sheet strength, earnings consistency, and high returns on capital. Quality small caps have become cheap compared to large caps and the quality premium in small caps is modest versus pronounced in large caps. The fund's value-focused process leads to a portfolio designed to protect clients during market drawdowns. They identify overlooked, out of favor companies trading at attractive valuations with strong franchises in boring industries. | AAP SFBS UPBD PVH UGI IDCC FN NJR RLI SNX |
