Underperformance was largely driven by underexposure to momentum stocks and biotech, while the strategy remains focused on high-quality growth companies with disciplined valuation frameworks.

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 | |

The small cap environment was characterized by narrow performance driven by low-quality, speculative stocks, with the top 25 contributors delivering over 50% of benchmark returns. The investment environment overwhelmingly favored lower quality stocks, with non-earners gaining 19.6%, negative equity stocks up 37.2%, and highest beta names advancing 26.1%. The fund's deliberate focus on higher-quality stocks with earnings support was a general headwind throughout the year. Artificial intelligence investment was a key area of market focus during 2025, though the fund questioned when investors would see returns from billions of dollars spent on AI infrastructure. The fund avoided speculative AI plays in favor of companies with more established fundamentals. Uncertain trade policy and the friction it added to the system was the biggest distraction during 2025. Companies now mostly have a sense of the rules of global trade and are adjusting, which could provide more stability going forward. | View | |

Portfolio fundamentals remain solid with ROA and ROE well ahead of benchmark metrics. The managers avoid speculative companies and prefer proven earnings track records.

Artificial intelligence was mentioned as one of the popular investment themes driving speculative small cap companies that the strategy avoided.

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 manager expects Small Caps to outperform Large Caps given 32% projected earnings growth versus 13% for Large Caps and a 25% valuation discount. The market was dominated by low-quality, high-beta, unprofitable stocks during the April-October rally, creating headwinds for the manager's high-quality approach. However, profitable stocks began outperforming unprofitable ones by 5% from mid-October through year-end, suggesting quality leadership may be returning. Small Cap biotech and pharmaceutical stocks dominated fourth quarter performance, representing 132% of the Russell 2000 Growth Index's total returns despite comprising only 11% year-to-date through Q3. The manager's minimal exposure to this sector was a significant performance headwind. Trump administration's comprehensive tariff strategy announcement in February caused Small Caps to plummet over 20% in weeks. However, potential policy modifications in April sparked a dramatic turnaround, with the Russell 2000 Growth Index surging nearly 50% over six months. Concerns about credit quality in private credit and regional banking emerged in Q4, highlighted by First Brands bankruptcy and Tricolor fraud allegations. JPMorgan CEO's cockroach comment underscored systemic concerns, triggering a 10% correction in the Russell 2000 Growth Index. | MLAB KRMN BMI FSV RGEN RBC CWAN |

However, profitable stocks began outperforming unprofitable counterparts by over 5% from mid-October through year-end, suggesting high-quality stocks may be reclaiming leadership.

Several holdings are actively leveraging AI to improve efficiency, offer new products, or provide solutions to secure and manage critical data that AI utilizes. Biotech sector rebounded strongly behind positive clinical and commercial outcomes, healthy M&A activity, performance mean reversion and lower interest rates. The Russell 2000 Growth Biotech Index returned 28.1% in Q4, with the manager adding modestly to relative performance despite benchmark biotech constituents being up over 40% for the year. Capital markets appear to be accelerating with IPO activity improving after a multiyear lull and M&A volumes rebounding. This environment is historically favorable to the strategy, with recent transactions highlighting sophisticated buyers deploying capital at depressed valuations. Small cap earnings growth is forecasted to handily exceed large caps in 2026, with the third quarter marking the first time in over a decade that small caps exceeded large caps in earnings growth. The manager believes the asset class is poised for stronger performance with relative valuations still at attractive levels. | SIMP PTGX |
