Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

What drove fund performance during the past 12 months?

  • Mid-cap growth stocks rose in 2025 but lagged other investment styles. After a challenging start to the year, equities advanced as economic growth and corporate earnings remained favorable and Congress passed tax legislation that should help stimulate the economy. In addition, the Federal Reserve resumed reducing short-term interest rates in the latter part of the year.

  • Versus the Russell Midcap Growth Index, the leading contributor to relative performance was stock selection in consumer staples. Shares of Dollar Tree advanced, aided by the announcement of the divestiture of the struggling Family Dollar business. Stock selection in energy, notably our holding in global offshore oil field service and equipment company TechnipFMC, also added value.

  • On the negative side, the leading detractor from relative performance was health care due to stock choices. Shares of medical device maker Teleflex declined as investors took in announcements, including a tax-free spinoff of a portion of its business and the retirement of its CFO. Stock selection in industrials and business services also weighed on relative results. Our stake in human capital management software vendor Paylocity was a notable detractor in the sector; in addition, we avoided several names in the space with more speculative characteristics that had strong results.

  • The fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in mid-cap stocks with potential for above-average earnings growth. We pay careful attention to risk and valuation relative to growth prospects, and our focus remains on owning quality companies with durable growth prospects and prudent balance sheets.
