Continued AI Disruption Concerns Weigh on CCC Intelligent Solutions Holdings (CCC)

The London Company, an investment management company, released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter for its "Small Cap Strategy." U.S. equities rebounded in the quarter, driven by AI infrastructure spending and positive earnings. The letter can be downloaded here. Despite this optimism, rate outlook uncertainty persisted. Technology, previously weak, surged to lead the market, especially in semiconductors, while energy declined as oil prices fell. Small caps outperformed large caps, with momentum and volatility factors leading, although quality and yield were headwinds for portfolios. The London Company Small Cap portfolio increased 12.9% during the quarter, underperforming the Russell 2000 Index's 21.5% gain, primarily due to stock selection issues. The firm remains confident in the durable, high-quality businesses for attractive long-term compounding. Please review the Fund's top five holdings to learn more about its key selections for 2026.
