Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 5.17%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the Russell 3000
®
Index, which returned 17.15% and an additional index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the S&P SmallCap 600
®
Index, which returned 6.02% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by one sub-adviser:
 
Keyridge Asset Management Limited (“Keyridge”) (formerly known as Irish Life Investment Managers Limited).
Keyridge Summary of Performance
Performance during the period was affected by heightened volatility early in the year associated with U.S. tariff policy, which contributed to a broad market drawdown, followed by a recovery beginning in April as trade tensions eased. A resilient economic backdrop, upward revisions to growth expectations, robust earnings, continued optimism around AI, and the resumption of the Federal Reserve’s rate cutting cycle were key factors influencing performance. Small-cap stocks underperformed the overall market as interest rates and yields remained relatively high, which weighed on companies with higher leverage. Sandisk Corporation, a data storage company, was the largest contributor to performance as demand for AI-related data storage remained strong. Kratos Defense, a security solutions company, also contributed to performance due to higher demand for military grade defense following government commitments to increase defense spending. Robert Half Inc., a human resources consultancy firm, detracted the most from performance due to reduced revenues as elevated global uncertainty and subdued hiring activity led to cautious behavior among clients and job seekers. SPS Commerce, a supply chain management company, also detracted from performance as profit margins declined, following a series of analyst downgrades after reduced revenue guidance in the third quarter.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 8.30%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the Russell 3000
®
Index, which returned 17.15% and an additional index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Russell 2000
®
Growth Index, which returned 13.01% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by two sub-advisers: Lord,
 
Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”) and Peregrine Capital Management, LLC (“Peregrine”).
Lord Abbett Summary of Performance
Security selection detracted from performance during the period. Within the industrials sector, security selection contributed to performance, led by an allocation to Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, a software company addressing the defense and national security markets. Within the healthcare sector, security selection detracted from performance, driven primarily by an allocation to uniQure N.V., which develops treatments for rare diseases.
Peregrine Summary of Performance
Following market lows in early April, small-cap growth equity market returns were highly concentrated, with a limited number of thematically driven and speculative areas accounting for a significant portion of market performance, creating a challenging environment for the portfolio’s valuation-sensitive approach. Stock selection in the technology sector was the largest contributor to performance, driven primarily by strength in communication equipment holdings that benefited from robust AI-related capital spending. The healthcare sector was the largest detractor from performance, reflecting adverse stock selection and a structural underweight to the outperforming biotechnology industry group, combined with adverse stock selection and an overweight position in the underperforming life sciences and tools industry group.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 4.37%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the Russell 3000
®
Index, which returned 17.15% and an additional index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Russell 2000
®
Value Index, which returned 12.59% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by two sub-advisers: Hotchkis & Wiley Capital Management, LLC (“Hotchkis & Wiley”) and Loomis, Sayles, & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”).
Hotchkis & Wiley Summary of Performance
Stock selection was broadly negative across most sectors. A key driver was the outsized impact of low-quality and highly speculative benchmark constituents that performed exceptionally well and were not held in the portfolio. Underweight exposure to real estate and stock selection within the energy sector contributed positively, while areas that detracted included healthcare (lack of biotech), materials (lack of gold miners), consumer discretionary, communication services (lack of space/satellites), and technology (lack of bitcoin miners).
Loomis Sayles Summary of Performance
Following a market selloff during the first quarter of the year related to investor concerns over tariffs, the market shifted, with leadership favoring low-quality companies. The result was a mismatch with the portfolio’s focus on long-term fundamentals and higher quality business models. While several holdings delivered strong individual results, overall portfolio breadth was negative, which is typical when a high-quality investment style is temporarily out of favor. The utilities sector provided the largest contribution to performance due to strong security selection and included independent power producer Talen Energy, one of the top contributing stocks during the period. TTM Technologies, the largest U.S. supplier of printed circuit boards, was the top contributor, supported by improved revenue quality, margin expansion through factory consolidation, and growth in AI servers. The materials sector detracted the most from performance due to stock selection, with construction materials company Knife River among the bottom performing holdings. Alight Inc., a leading human capital solutions provider, was the top detractor as strategic and governance changes were less effective than expected amid macroeconomic pressures, and the position was sold during the period.
