The manager emphasizes that small-cap indices are generally 'junkier' with fewer quality companies than large-cap indices, making active management essential to find quality small companies trading at reasonable valuations. | View | |
| 2025 Q3 | Nov 8, 2025 | FPA Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund | 7.5% | 13.8% | AAPL, ESGR, FN, IAC, IDCC, IMKTA, MGM, NNI, NVDA, OSK, REVG, RLI, SAIC, SFM, SNX, THS, VSH | Defensive, Disciplined, downside protection, Quality, small cap, value | The fund follows a disciplined four-pillar process focusing on quality companies with strong balance sheets, valuation discipline, strong management teams, and growing industries with stable competitive dynamics.

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 21, 2026 | Meridian Growth Fund | -0.4% | -6.4% | ABT, CERT, CHDN, COO, DOCS, DT, EXAS, GFS, GMED, RELY, SAIC, TNDM, TPB, TRMB, VCYT | growth, healthcare, Medical Devices, Quality, small caps, technology | Healthcare was the portfolio's largest allocation and top-performing sector for the quarter, with the fund maintaining an overweight position. The manager views healthcare as undervalued relative to long-term fundamentals after lagging the broader market for four years. Several healthcare holdings contributed positively including medical device companies and diagnostics firms. The fund's investment approach emphasizes high-quality businesses with recurring revenue, sustainable competitive advantages, and strong balance sheets. However, the quarter saw relative outperformance by lower-quality stocks which created a modest headwind to performance given the portfolio's quality bias. The fund focuses on small-cap growth investments, benchmarked against the Russell 2500 Growth Index. Small caps delivered solid annual returns of 12.8% for the year, though below large-cap returns, with value outperforming growth in the quarter. | View | |

The era of 0% interest and free money has ended, with rates expected to remain higher than the prior cycle. This normalized rate environment makes current earnings and dividend payments more valuable while future earnings projections become less so. | View | |

The manager is hunting for green shoots and expects small-cap earnings to improve in the latter half of the year, especially once Magnificent 7 tech stocks are removed from comparisons. | SAIC KMT |
