The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000, driven by favorable stock selection in industrials, information technology, and financials sectors. Looking ahead, the firm believes strong growth and AI-related investment continue to support U.S. equities, although inflation and interest-rate risks remain. Key factors affecting future equity performance include inflation, interest rates, earnings growth, and growing AI adoption.
