| 2025 Q4 | Jan 29, 2026 | Curreen Capital | 10.5% | 31.0% | AAP, DND.TO, ENR.DE, FTDR, FTRE, GETB.L, TRUE-B.ST, VFC | energy, healthcare, small caps, spinoffs, Turnarounds, value | Curreen Capital has been particularly successful with spinoff investments since launch, with 2025's three biggest winners all being spinoffs. The manager views ugly duckling spinoffs as the best investment opportunities when they combine good businesses, capable management, and attractive pricing. The fund focuses on 'ugly ducklings' - good businesses run by capable managers bought at attractive prices with upside-to-downside ratios of at least 5:1. They target companies earning above 20% after-tax returns on capital over time. Siemens Energy benefited from the end of decade-long stagnation in global electricity demand, driven by deferred infrastructure maintenance, continued electrification, and rapid rise of AI spurring a new demand cycle. | AAP FTRE FTDR GETB LN ENG GR VFC |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 20, 2026 | Madison Small Cap Fund | -0.4% | -6.9% | AAON, AMPL, CCOI, CFLT, CIEN, EHC, ENTG, FORM, GTLB, MIR, POWI, PRMB, RVLV, SMG, VCEL, VFC, VIAV, WAL, ZION | AI, Consumer Staples, Quality, Risk Appetite, small caps, software, Speculation, underperformance | The AI capital spending boom drove strong performance in select technology stocks like Ciena and Confluent. However, the manager questions how long the AI capital spending cycle will last and whether investors will begin asking for returns on this investment. The fund avoided most speculative AI-related opportunities due to quality parameters. Software stocks faced significant pressure as investors feared AI-powered solutions would displace traditional applications. The manager fundamentally rejects this thesis, believing enterprises won't migrate mission-critical data to language models generating errors at 60% rates. They used the selloff to add GitLab and Amplitude at attractive valuations. Consumer Staples was the epicenter of underperformance as investors showed no appetite for defensive businesses in a pro-cyclical, speculative bull market. The sector now trades at historically steep discounts despite facing perceived challenges including input cost inflation, GLP-1 impacts, and tariff supply chain effects. The market demonstrated insatiable appetite for risk, with the best performing stocks being the most speculative companies with no profits or revenue but thematic AI linkage. This extended to biotechs, meme stocks, crypto, and mining stocks, while defensive businesses were deeply out of favor. Small caps continued underperforming large caps despite a strong year for the Russell 2000. The fund significantly underperformed due to the speculative nature of the rally favoring companies without profits or revenue. Quality businesses with durable moats can now be found at attractive prices again. | AAON GTLB VIAV AMPL VCEL MIR CIEN CCOI WAL |
