| 2022 Q4 | Jan 31, 2023 | REQ Global Compounders | - | -22.5% | HEI, TDY | Capital Allocation, CashFlow, Compounding, Decentralization, M&A | Capital allocation: The letter highlights that the fund focuses on companies capable of redeploying cash at high returns, especially through serial small acquisitions. These firms maintain disciplined investment frameworks and sustain value creation across cycles. Decentralization: Portfolio companies operate with autonomous business units, enabling entrepreneurial cultures that reduce bureaucracy and increase responsiveness. This structure enhances long-term resilience by distributing decision-making closer to operations. Compounding: The strategy hinges on long-duration reinvestment runways, supported by large global SME deal pipelines. Consistent bolt-on acquisition activity and recurring cash flows drive multi-decade compounding. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 30, 2026 | Aristotle Value Equity Fund | 1.0% | 9.7% | AMGN, CBSH, COF, LEN, MRK, MSFT, PH, SONY, STZ, TDY, UBER, USB, WFC | AI, earnings, large cap, rates, Trade Policy, US, value | Artificial intelligence continued to be a major theme with more than 300 S&P 500 companies mentioning AI on earnings calls. This enthusiasm helped propel mega-cap tech stocks higher and drive market gains. However, scrutiny increased around AI-related revenue circularity, massive capital spending scale, and durability of longer-term returns on investment. Trade relations between the U.S. and China remained a key market focus. Tensions flared with tariff escalations and export controls, with China expanding export controls on rare earth minerals and the U.S. threatening 100% tariffs in retaliation. President Trump and President Xi ultimately reached a one-year trade truce at the APEC summit. The Federal Reserve implemented two 0.25% interest rate cuts during the quarter, lowering the federal funds target range to 3.50%-3.75%. Fed Chair Powell emphasized a data-dependent approach, acknowledging risks to both sides of the Fed's dual mandate and maintaining a cautious stance going into 2026. Value stocks handily outperformed growth stocks with the Russell 1000 Value Index outperforming its Growth counterpart by 2.69% in the quarter. However, for the full year, the Russell 1000 Growth Index outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index by 2.65%, reflecting continued growth leadership despite quarterly value outperformance. | CBSH COF PH UBER SONY |

The market showed unusually concentrated focus on AI and its immediate beneficiaries throughout 2025, with limited investor attention for performance not tied to artificial intelligence. Gaming holdings provided positive contributions with Light & Wonder rebounding following technical selling pressure and Churchill Downs advancing as operating trends normalized. The gaming sector showed resilience despite broader market headwinds affecting other areas of the portfolio. Online travel platforms contributed positively with Expedia benefiting from improved execution in its consumer business and continued strength in its business-to-business segment. The travel sector demonstrated solid fundamentals amid the challenging market environment. Real estate was a significant source of pressure, particularly Alexandria Real Estate Equities which declined due to slowdown in biopharma research spending and excess laboratory capacity weighing on leasing demand and rental growth expectations. The position was exited due to ongoing uncertainty and dividend cut. | CPAY CWST ARE CHDN EXPE LNWO |

However, maintains exposure through Booz Allen Hamilton and Korea Defense ETF, noting long-term secular tailwinds from rising geopolitical risks and defense spending. AI is described as everywhere, particularly on buyside analyst desktops, contributing to faster market pace and gambling-like behavior. Manager sees AI moving into the physical world as a catalyst for industrial automation companies like Fanuc, which is positioned to benefit from AI's expansion beyond digital applications. Fanuc holds ~50% market share in CNCs and is a leading factory robotics player, positioned to benefit from AI moving into the physical world and rising trade barriers boosting global reshoring. The company serves general industrial, automotive, electronics, and aerospace end markets with global diversification. Portfolio includes Japan Exchange Group benefiting from ongoing Japanese equity market structure reforms and corporate governance improvements. Fanuc represents exposure to leading Japanese industrials with fortress balance sheets and global market leadership in automation. | HSIC 6954 JP CCK BAH |
