| 2025 Q4 | Feb 17, 2026 | AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund | 3.5% | 7.2% | AEIS, AGIO, CIFR, CSWI, CVLT, DAVA, DSGX, FLYW, GMED, HUT, INTA, ITT, MTSI, PAR, QBTS, RARE, RBC, SATS, SF, SKY, SLG, SPXC, STRL, SUPN, THR, VIAV, WULF | healthcare, industrials, materials, Quality, small caps, technology, Trade Policy, value | The Russell 2000 Index delivered 12.8% returns for 2025 despite significant volatility, with a 23% drop by April followed by a 40% recovery. 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 | |
| 2024 Q4 | Jan 10, 2025 | Sandhill Investment Management | - | - | ANET, CDNS, HUBB, ISRG, JPM, NOW, PANW, SPXC, TT | Inflation Risk, Investment Grade Bonds, Market Concentration, quality growth, Valuation discipline | The newsletter underscores a continued focus on high-quality U.S. equities with durable competitive advantages, while acknowledging elevated market concentration and valuations near historical extremes that warrant caution. Sandhill highlights disciplined positioning with increased cash levels, short-duration investment grade bonds, and selective rotation into companies such as J.P. Morgan, Arista Networks and Trane Technologies amid volatility. Looking into 2025, inflation risks, fiscal imbalances and expensive equity multiples frame a backdrop of heightened volatility, reinforcing an emphasis on balance sheet strength and valuation discipline. | JPM |
