Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

 

The Fund's Institutional Class generated a total return of 7.87% during the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

• The Fund delivered positive absolute returns but underperformed the S&P 500® Index primarily because mid-cap stocks lagged their large-cap counterparts, making the S&P 500® Index, a large-cap index, a difficult benchmark to outpace for this Fund.

 

• The Fund, given its mid-cap focus, did not own any of the mega-cap stocks, i.e., the largest of the large-cap stocks, that drove the two strongest sectors of the S&P 500® Index—communication services and information technology. Weak individual stock selection in health care, consumer discretionary and financials further dampened the Fund’s relative results as did having overweights to the lagging health care and industrials sectors.

 

• Effective stock selection in the industrials and materials sectors contributed positively. Having no allocation to the laggard energy sector also boosted the Fund’s relative results.

 

• The Fund’s relative results were hurt most by not owning computer graphics processors manufacturer NVIDIA, whose shares rose approximately 170% during the annual period. Additionally, holding positions in information technology services provider CDW and diagnostics and research services provider to the life sciences industry Iqvia detracted. Each experienced a double-digit share price decline during the annual period due to weaker than expected operating performance.

 

• Among the individual stocks that contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results were analytics software and services provider Fair Isaac (a.k.a. FICO), integrated information management solutions and services provider for the public sector Tyler Technologies and climate control products manufacturer Lennox International. Each of these companies enjoyed a robust double-digit share price gain during the annual period due to stronger than expected operating performance.
