| 2025 Q2 | Jul 22, 2025 | Miller Howard Investments Income-Equity Strategies | 3.8% | - | ABLV, C, CAG, CSCO, EMN, EPD, GS, JNJ, JPM, MRK, PAYX, RHI, STT, TRP | cash flow, dividends, income, total returns, volatility | The letter emphasizes equity income as a durable return driver in an environment of elevated uncertainty, market concentration, and volatile macro signals. Management argues that dividends provide a more stable and predictable component of total returns than buybacks, particularly during downturns when capital discipline matters most. The strategy favors companies with resilient cash flows, balance sheet strength, and a demonstrated commitment to growing shareholder payouts over time. | View | |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 24, 2026 | Miller Howard Investments Income-Equity Strategies | 15.6% | 15.6% | ABBV, C, COP, CSCO, EMN, ETR, GILD, GPS, GSK, HRB, HRL, JEF, JNJ, JPM, MPLX, MTB, PAYX, RF, STT, VICI, VZ | AI, dividends, income, productivity, value | AI represents a transformative technology that could drive step-change improvements in economic productivity. The manager believes AI's greatest impact will come from companies using it as an input to improve operations rather than those selling AI products. Many dividend-paying companies in labor-intensive industries could benefit significantly from AI adoption through process automation and efficiency gains. The portfolio focuses on high dividend yields approximately 3x the S&P 500, with strong dividend coverage ratios and projected dividend growth. Six companies increased dividends in the quarter, led by MPLX with a 13% increase. The strategy emphasizes collecting high and rising dividends while compounding real cash returns through disciplined reinvestment. The portfolio trades at significant discounts to the broad market, with P/E ratios 40-42% below the S&P 500. The manager believes many steady-growing companies are overlooked by markets focused on AI winners, creating opportunities in businesses with lower assumed margins and productivity that could benefit from AI adoption. | View | |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 13, 2026 | Fenimore Dividend Focus Strategy | -4.4% | 1.9% | AJG, APH, AVY, BR, CDW, CTAS, HEI, HLI, IEX, JKHY, MCHP, MLM, PAYX, ROST, RSG, STE, SYK, TT, VRSK, WSO | AI, dividends, healthcare, mid cap, Quality, technology, value | Fenimore maintains focus on high-quality companies with strong balance sheets, consistent profitability, and prudent capital allocation. Quality as a factor remained out of favor despite many businesses showing strong long-term fundamental prospects. The firm believes solid business fundamentals should reassert themselves as the primary driver of stock prices in the long run. AI excitement and related infrastructure builds continued to drive the market, drawing capital away from nearly every other area. Investor enthusiasm was driven toward businesses with AI-related exposures. Amphenol benefited from data center buildouts supporting AI, with its IT Datacom segment growing 128% organically. Dividend-paying companies lagged non-dividend-paying companies by more than 50%. On average, portfolio holdings raised their dividends 9% over 2025, in line with their earnings growth. The top three dividend raisers were Amphenol (55%), Cintas (15%), and Verisk Analytics (15%). Valuations for portfolio companies are becoming more attractive while other indices become more overvalued. The fund sees compelling valuations within the portfolio, which management believes sets the fund up for solid future performance. Many quality franchises are trading at relative multi-year lows. | TT APH JKHY ROST |
