Drawing parallels to the 201415 energy collapse, the managers warn that rising AI-related capital intensity, power constraints, and valuation expansion may challenge assumptions of frictionless growth, particularly as the largest stocks drive disproportionate index returns and volatility. The portfolio is positioned in niche-dominant companies with strong balance sheets, recurring revenues, and visible cash flow, seeking to compound value while avoiding overpayment for perceived certainty. | TREX TKR DY EXTR LOB OSK GNRC CXT APG DAR |

Despite underperformance in 2025, the managers remain committed to avoiding speculative companies and maintaining their quality discipline. Portfolio fundamentals remain solid with consistent earnings growth. AI emerged as a popular investment theme that drove performance in speculative small cap companies during 2025.

Management deliberately avoided meme-driven and unprofitable names, focusing instead on profitable, rapidly growing companies benefiting from secular tailwinds. Looking ahead, the team expects fundamentals to reassert themselves, highlighting long-term themes including AI, Robotics, Drones, Liquid Biopsies, and Fintech. | 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. The strategy's lack of exposure to biotechnology stocks was the primary driver of underperformance, as biotech soared nearly 27% in Q4. Managers avoid nascent biotech companies due to binary outcomes based on clinical trials, preferring healthcare companies with proven track records. Artificial intelligence was mentioned as one of the popular investment themes driving speculative small cap companies that the strategy avoided. AI workloads are driving demand for data center upgrades and faster communication standards. | RBC FN FROG TREX VITL FOUR |

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 |

Small Caps are trading at a nearly 25% discount to Large Caps, creating a compelling case for outperformance for the first time since 2020. The market experienced extreme leadership concentrated in low-quality, high-beta, unprofitable stocks during the April-October rally. However, profitable stocks began outperforming unprofitable counterparts by over 5% from mid-October through year-end, suggesting high-quality stocks may be reclaiming leadership. Small Cap Biotech/Pharmaceutical stocks represented 132% of the Russell 2000 Growth Index's total returns in the fourth quarter alone, after comprising just 11% through the third quarter. The bioprocessing market showed clear signs of recovery with companies delivering encouraging order growth. Defense technology companies specializing in highly engineered, mission-critical systems showed strong performance. Companies with exposure to space, missiles, hypersonic, and defense programs generated mid-teens organic revenue growth complemented by acquisitions. | GNRC KRMN AAON ROAD STVN TREX POOL FSV CWAN CSW JKHY RBC RGEN |

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 |

The fund believes AI disruption fears are overdone for their portfolio companies, which are more likely to be beneficiaries than victims of AI adoption. Quality was the worst-performing investment factor in H1 FY26, with lower-quality and more volatile stocks significantly outperforming. This represents a continuation of quality underperformance reminiscent of the late 1990s dot-com era, driven by speculative investor behavior and thematic investing. Japan faces structural labor shortages driving increased mid-career hiring and workforce mobility. The country has a new pro-business Prime Minister and depreciating yen enhancing export competitiveness, though it faces labor shortages, inflation, and geopolitical risks with China. Enterprise software companies face investor concerns about AI disruption, particularly around AI agents displacing traditional interfaces and reducing barriers to entry. However, many providers digitize structured processes that AI cannot easily replace and are likely to benefit from AI integration. | 4194 JP TREX AUTO LN MEDP PTC |
