Small Caps: Small caps beat large caps and market leadership is broadening beyond mega-caps, though the fund lagged the Russell 2000 mainly on stock selection. AI: Tech and AI-linked demand (e.g., data centers) powered the quarter and supported sentiment alongside selective rate cuts. Growth: Growth outperformed value on strong earnings and easing inflation; the team stays nimble across defensive and cyclical pockets under ongoing policy and geopolitical uncertainty.
The commentary highlights small-cap investing driven by sustainable growth trends and expanding market breadth beyond mega-cap leadership. While stock selection detracted during the quarter, the strategy remains focused on balancing growth, quality, and valuation amid easing monetary policy and improving earnings visibility. Growth opportunities are expected to broaden as rate cuts and economic resilience support smaller companies.
The fund focuses on industrial renewal and AI-driven innovation as key growth themes, with positions in semiconductor capital equipment and electronic manufacturing. Companies like Lattice Semiconductor and TTM Technologies are seen as beneficiaries of AI infrastructure spending. Managers remain constructive on U.S. growth and continue emphasizing premier small-cap compounders in technology and industrials.
