Gallagher, Tyler Technologies and ServiceTitan while remaining patient in corporate bonds amid tight spreads and a flat yield curve.

Robotics was identified as one of the manager's top five secular trends for the near-to-medium term. This represents an area of focus for finding category leaders before they become widely discovered, though specific robotics investments were not detailed in this letter. | View | |

Biotech was an area of outsized strength in 2025, contributing approximately 8 points to the Russell Microcap Growth Index return. However, the firm maintains low or no exposure to biotech as they view many business models as unproven with high expectations that may fail to materialize. | View | |
