The portfolio continues to trade at discounts relative to the benchmark, focusing on high-quality, profitable companies that generate strong cash flow, pay dividends, and actively buy back shares. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Dec 31, 2025 | Fortress – Fixed Income Fund | 0.6% | 5.5% | 005930.KS, 0700.HK, 1288.HK, 1585.HK, 1878.T, 2318.HK, 392.HK, 3968.HK, 6920.T, 8035.T, 916.HK, ACN, AMAT, AXP, BABA, BBDO, BNZL.L, BRK.B, BTI, CHTR, FMC, GMEXICOB.MX, GRMN, HSY, ITUB, IX, JNJ, LOGI, MC.PA, MRK, NTES, NVO, ORLY, PDD, PHM, ROG.SW, SBS, SNA, TSM, UNH, VALE, VRTX, WKL | AI, Bonds, emerging markets, healthcare, international, technology, Trade Policy, value | Artificial intelligence remained the primary focus for investors in U.S. markets, driving strength in technology names while masking moderation in other economic areas. The AI investment boom continued to power corporate capital expenditures and supply growth, though consumer confidence readings suggest potential underlying softness that could emerge if AI investment moderates. The manager sees excellent value opportunities globally, particularly in international and emerging markets despite strong recent performance. U.S. healthcare and consumer staples have been left behind by the AI frenzy and trade at appealing valuations. Portfolio companies show attractive price/earnings ratios with meaningful long-term return potential. Recent tariff policies continued to negatively impact U.S. consumers and companies throughout the year. However, international companies have been finding new trade arrangements and growth opportunities, benefiting from shifts in global trade patterns as the new U.S. administration alters terms of international cooperation. | View | |

The wide spread in valuation multiples provides opportunities for superior future returns with a margin of safety. | KDP GEHC ELV CG ABNB CNC WFC |

These represent platforms that would be very difficult to reassemble and comprise select pockets of commercial real estate that favor long-term investors with structural demand drivers, limited maintenance capex, and prospects to self-finance accretive reinvestment. Commercial banks are estimated to be lending significantly less to commercial real estate, with current pace at less than half of the previous 10-year average. | UTG CHMP ACCOR UTG CHMP AC ROG BOISE DBK OR HBR LUN CS |

These holdings represent platforms that would be very difficult to reassemble and comprise select pockets of commercial real estate with structural demand drivers and limited maintenance capital expenditure requirements. Fund holds positions in major U.S. homebuilders including Lennar Corp., D.R. Horton, PulteGroup, and Champion Homes. These companies are supported by near-record low levels of for-sale inventories, near-record high demand for affordable product, and industry dynamics favoring scaled players over time. Fund focuses on well-capitalized enterprises with discounted securities trading at more than a 20% discount to estimated Net Asset Value at year-end. The strategy targets strategic real estate at value prices with prospects to compound capital over time. Multiple portfolio companies engaged in share repurchase activities during the quarter, including Lennar Corp. completing an exchange offer that effectively acted as an accelerated share repurchase program, exchanging Millrose Properties shares for 5% of its outstanding A shares. | DBK GR BIRG ID 2330 TT HBR LN CS CN LUN CN HCC |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 21, 2026 | Harbor Mid Cap Value Fund | 4.1% | 16.0% | AMKR, BK, CFG, COIN, EA, ENS, EXPE, FOXA, GM, GTX, HIW, HLF, HOG, HOOD, HPQ, JAZZ, KR, NEU, OC, PHM, PLAB, PVH, SNDK, STT, TXT, WBD, WDC | Buybacks, consumer discretionary, dividends, financials, mid cap, technology, value | The fund maintains its disciplined value investment approach, seeking high-quality, profitable companies that generate cash, pay dividends, and repurchase shares. Mid- and small-cap value stocks continue to trade at attractive multiples despite strong relative performance. AI-driven demand for storage led to strong earnings and increases in revenue growth and margins for technology holdings. AI-related technology stocks may appear priced to perfection, but the fund continues to identify opportunities among mid-cap value stocks. The fund seeks companies that repurchase shares, viewing aggressive stock buybacks positively. Several holdings including General Motors, Garrett Motion, and EnerSys have been aggressively buying back stock. | AMKR EA ENS GTX |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 12, 2026 | Pabrai Wagons Fund | 0.0% | 3.7% | AAPL, AMR, AMZN, AN, GOOGL, HMT.L, META, MSFT, NVDA, PHM, RIG, TOL, TSLA | Airports, Auto Dealers, Buybacks, Coal, global, Homebuilders, Oil Services, value | The fund focuses on businesses with enlightened managements that buy back their stock at compelling valuations. Three businesses in the portfolio that fit this mold have committed to return capital to shareholders through buybacks or dividends. The fund believes these businesses could deliver higher returns going forward than the Magnificent 7 through buybacks. The fund is invested in a handful of metallurgical coal businesses, with two near the bottom quartile of the cost curve and all led by exceptional managers. All three businesses have some of the best met coal reserves on the planet. The fund believes there will be no meaningful alternative to using met coal to produce steel for several decades. The fund trades at a trailing P/E of 11 compared to the S&P 500's trailing P/E of 30. The fund seeks to buy capital-light businesses with high returns on equity at no more than a bit more than tangible book value. The fund believes a metallurgical coal miner or offshore oil driller that earns even single digit returns can be a fantastic investment if purchased at a fraction of replacement cost. TAV operates 15 airports in 8 countries with guidance of 10-14% annual passenger growth across its airports, which may continue for decades. TAV has high operating leverage where if passengers grow 12%, cash flow may grow at more than 2x that. The fund believes it is led by an exceptional management team and is very cheap compared to other global airport operators. The fund is invested in a couple of U.S. homebuilders who have morphed into asset-light, efficient factories with shrewd capital return policies. The U.S. is structurally underbuilt with a deficit of 4-7 million homes. The high-quality, scale homebuilders have unique advantages that could allow them to capture a growing portion of this growing pie. Traditional car dealerships are hated by the market due to concerns with the rise of electric vehicles and the perception that EVs do not carry the same parts and repair content as traditional ICE vehicles. The fund believes the market's concerns are overblown and not valid. These are great businesses with high-margin recurring revenues that will continue for decades. The fund has a position in U.S. offshore oil services. Offshore accounts for 1/3 of global oil and gas production and breaks even at levels far below fracking. Drillships are complex and expensive with no new supply in the pipeline. The fund believes supply-demand tightness can yield very high day rates for these ships. | TAVHL TI |

They view the current setup of higher interest rates and wider P/E multiple dispersion as favorable for value investing. | BLK |

The strategy achieves a 9.7% free cash flow to enterprise value yield, substantially higher than Russell 2000 benchmarks. Wide valuation dispersions in small/mid cap space create opportunities through selectivity. | View | |

Large-scale builders like Pulte, Lennar, and D.R. Horton have evolved to more defensive business models with land options versus ownership, strengthened balance sheets with net cash positions, and gained significant market share. These companies are positioned to maintain profitability and sustain share repurchases despite near-term headwinds. | UTG.L PHM |
