Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the trailing 12-month period ending September 30, 2025, the Partners Fund Class A delivered a 15.36% no-load return. The Partners Fund generated excellent absolute and relative investment results with its contrarian value portfolio. The Fund’s results underperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, during the period due to the lack of AI and Magnificent 7 technology stocks in our portfolio.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
The Fund’s greatest contributors to outperformance relative to the Russell 1000 Value benchmark, it’s secondary, better fit benchmark came from the relatively defensive Health Care, Utilities, and Consumer Discretionary sectors which generated positive stock price performance along with above-average dividends. Strong stock selection of high-quality companies exhibiting meaningful normalized free cash flow growth across all sectors also contributed to the Fund’s results.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the trailing 12 months ending September 30, 2025, the Cornerstone Fund Investor Class delivered an 11.13% return. The balanced Fund uses a contrarian value approach to build a concentrated investment portfolio of equity and fixed income securities that we believe are undervalued and will deliver attractive returns over full market cycles. The equity weighting is currently 59%. The strategy’s remaining allocation is to fixed income and cash. Our fixed income strategy also applies a contrarian value approach where we look for discounted bonds where we expect full repayment at maturity. While slightly trailing the 60%/40% S&P 500/Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index benchmark in the past year, we are pleased with the Fund’s absolute performance given our defensive, value-based approach
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
The portfolio’s holdings within relatively defensive Health Care, Utilities, and Consumer Discretionary sectors generated positive stock price performance along with above-average dividends. The Fund also benefited from broadening the credit quality exposures within the portfolio during a steady-state fixed income environment.
