Commentary Highlights
September 30, 2025- Markets: Mid caps advanced in the third quarter as the investment landscape was shaped by a combination of monetary policy shifts, stabilizing earnings and improving sentiment. The Federal Reserve’s decision to cut rates in September, along with rising hope of further easing and expectations for earnings resilience in third-quarter reports, helped provide relief from headwinds that had weighed on small and mid cap stocks. As a result, the benchmark Russell Midcap Index returned 5.3% for the quarter. Value stocks outpaced their growth peers, with the Russell Midcap Value Index returning 6.2% compared to the Russell Midcap Growth’s 2.8% return.
- Contributors: Holdings in AppLovin, Resideo Technologies and Performance Food. Stock selection in the consumer staples, information technology (IT) and health care sectors.
- Detractors: Holdings in WillScot, Light & Wonder and Dynatrace. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary, materials and communication services sectors.
- Outlook: We expect dispersion to remain elevated, which plays to our strength: the names we own are generally not index-dependent, but driven by differentiated fundamentals, catalysts and structural advantages. We remain disciplined — seeking businesses with durable competitive moats, resilient free cash flow, balance sheet flexibility and clear paths to growth.

Performance
Calendar Year Returns
As of 09/30/2025
Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, and investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods. Total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Returns with sales charge reflect a deduction of the stated maximum sales charge. Returns without sales charge would have been lower had sales charges been reflected. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

Risks
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. Short selling is a speculative strategy. Unlike the possible loss on a security that is purchased, there is no limit on the amount of loss on an appreciating security that is sold short. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance. The manager may consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in the research or investment process; however, ESG considerations may not be a determinative factor in security selection. In addition, the manager may not assess every investment for ESG criteria, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated. These and other risks are discussed in the fund’s prospectus.
Important Information
