| 2025 Q4 | Feb 17, 2026 | Cullen Small Cap Value Equity | -5.6% | -0.4% | CTRA, CUZ, DOUG, EFSC, HIW, HP, JBSS, LDI, NMRK, POR, SSB, TREE | earnings, energy, financials, rates, small caps, Utilities, value | Small-cap equities ended 2025 on a positive but volatile note with the Russell 2000 returning 12.8% for the year. The outlook for small-cap equities entering 2026 is increasingly constructive, particularly within value-oriented segments, with consensus expectations pointing to meaningful acceleration in small-cap earnings growth in the low-to-mid teens. Value-oriented stocks remain attractively positioned with growth stocks continuing to trade at a meaningful premium to value across most valuation measures. Historically, periods of accelerating profits have favored value leadership, particularly within smaller-cap universes. The strategy's P/E is 12.2x forward earnings versus 15.0x for the Russell 2000 Value. The Federal Reserve's shift toward monetary easing represents an important inflection point for smaller companies, which tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates and credit conditions. Following a 25 basis point cut in September, the Federal Reserve cut rates twice in Q4 to the current range of 3.50% to 3.75%. Lower borrowing costs should support refinancing activity, capital investment, and margin recovery. Earnings are central to the manager's optimism with consensus expectations pointing to meaningful acceleration in small-cap earnings in 2026, with growth projected in the low-to-mid teens and exceeding that of large-cap companies. This anticipated rebound reflects easier year-over-year comparisons, improving operating leverage, and broadening demand across cyclical and value-oriented sectors. | JBSS |

Many holdings still trade meaningfully below historical multiples. Overweight positioning tilted toward higher-quality, unique businesses targeting high-end consumers including global consumer brands like Brunswick and Birkenstock. Specialty retail exposure includes marine dealers and Bath & Body Works. The sector remains attractive with overweight positioning in higher-quality industrials including machinery, distribution, and commercial services. Many holdings demonstrated strong pricing power during inflationary environment and returned cash to shareholders via dividends, buybacks and debt reduction. Information technology contributed through stock selection, with strong results from Amkor Technology benefiting from AI packaging solutions and domestic chip manufacturing trends. The company is one of two in the US capable of providing large-scale advanced packaging solutions. | View |
