Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

 

The Fund's Institutional Class generated a total return of 12.49% during the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

• The Fund posted double-digit absolute gains but underperformed the S&P 500® Index, driven primarily by stock selection overall. Mega-cap stocks, i.e., the largest of the large-cap stocks, led the U.S. equity market during the annual period, and the Fund did not own those stocks.

 

• The Fund was hurt most significantly by stock selection in the information technology sector. Specifically, not owning computer graphics processors manufacturer NVIDIA, whose shares rose approximately 170% during the annual period, detracted most. Weak stock selection in the financials and health care sectors also detracted as did having overweights to the lagging health care and industrials sectors.

 

• The Fund benefited from effective stock selection in the consumer staples sector, where it held only one stock, Costco, whose shares posted a robust double-digit gain during the annual period. Having no exposure to the energy and real estate sectors, which each was among the weakest sectors in the S&P 500® Index during the annual period, further boosted the Fund’s relative results.

 

• In addition to not owning NVIDIA, among the individual stocks that detracted most from the Fund’s relative results were positions in veterinary-focused medical device company Idexx Laboratories, whose shares declined, and information technology services provider Accenture, whose shares rose only modestly.

 

• The Fund was helped most during the annual period by positions in software company ServiceNow, data communications and telecommunications equipment provider Motorola Solutions and membership warehouse club Costco. Each enjoyed a healthy double-digit share price gain during the annual period, helped by stronger than expected operating performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

 

The Fund's Investor Class generated a total return of 12.20% during the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

• The Fund posted double-digit absolute gains but underperformed the S&P 500® Index, driven primarily by stock selection overall. Mega-cap stocks, i.e., the largest of the large-cap stocks, led the U.S. equity market during the annual period, and the Fund did not own those stocks.

 

• The Fund was hurt most significantly by stock selection in the information technology sector. Specifically, not owning computer graphics processors manufacturer NVIDIA, whose shares rose approximately 170% during the annual period, detracted most. Weak stock selection in the financials and health care sectors also detracted as did having overweights to the lagging health care and industrials sectors.

 

• The Fund benefited from effective stock selection in the consumer staples sector, where it held only one stock, Costco, whose shares posted a robust double-digit gain during the annual period. Having no exposure to the energy and real estate sectors, which each was among the weakest sectors in the S&P 500® Index during the annual period, further boosted the Fund’s relative results.

 

• In addition to not owning NVIDIA, among the individual stocks that detracted most from the Fund’s relative results were positions in veterinary-focused medical device company Idexx Laboratories, whose shares declined, and information technology services provider Accenture, whose shares rose only modestly.

 

• The Fund was helped most during the annual period by positions in software company ServiceNow, data communications and telecommunications equipment provider Motorola Solutions and membership warehouse club Costco. Each enjoyed a healthy double-digit share price gain during the annual period, helped by stronger than expected operating performance.
