| 2025 Q4 | Jan 30, 2026 | Invesco Small Cap Value Fund | 6.8% | 17.6% | ACM, ARCB, COHR, CR, CRL, ENTG, EXPE, GL, GMED, HBM.TO, KBR, LITE, MKSI, NRG, PENN, SAIA, WAL, WBS | AI, Biotech, financials, healthcare, Intrinsic Value, small cap, technology, value | The fund employs an intrinsic value approach to stock selection, seeking companies significantly undervalued on an absolute basis. At quarter end, the difference between market prices and intrinsic value estimates was attractive, indicating potential long-term capital appreciation. Small-cap value stocks appear attractive relative to S&P 500 Index stocks. Following outperformance of large-cap stocks over small-cap stocks in recent years, the managers see greater long-term upside to intrinsic value in many small-caps compared to large-caps. The Russell 2000 Value Index P/E multiple has been at a historical discount compared to the S&P 500 Index P/E. The fund benefited from AI-driven growth potential in holdings like Lumentum, which rallied due to investor enthusiasm for its AI applications. ArcBest's operational efficiency and technological advancements using artificial intelligence should position the company well for demand recovery in trucking. | LITE GTLB ARCB GMED CRL |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 21, 2026 | NCG Small Cap Growth Strategy | 4.2% | 8.3% | ADPT, ATEC, AVPT, AXGN, BETA, BLND, CCB, CELH, COHR, ELF, KNX, KVYO, MTSI, PCOR, PEGA, PI, PRCH, QTWO, TOL, TTAN, UTI, WAL, WULF | active management, growth, healthcare, industrials, Outperformance, Quality, small caps, technology | The manager emphasizes investing in high-quality growth companies with proven business models and sustainable growth drivers. They note that quality factors worked against active managers in 2025, with low-quality stocks significantly outperforming. The S&P 600 Growth Index, which requires profitability, underperformed broader small cap indexes that included unprofitable companies. Biotech was a significant area of outperformance in small cap indexes during 2025, contributing approximately 8 points to the Russell Microcap Growth Index return. The manager has maintained low or no exposure to biotech, which contributed to relative underperformance. They continue to view many biotech business models as unproven despite strong recent performance. The portfolio includes holdings in AI infrastructure companies as part of their technology sector overweight. The manager sees strong growth prospects in AI-related investments and believes these companies are trading at attractive valuations within their diversified technology holdings. Nuclear energy was identified as one of the specific areas of outsized strength in small cap markets during 2025. The portfolio maintains exposure to the nuclear energy market through one company in their energy allocation, reflecting their focus on emerging energy themes. | View | |
| 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 |
