U.S. equity markets saw broad gains in Q2, driven by strong corporate earnings, economic resilience, and enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI). Major indices reached all-time highs, though the energy sector declined. Continued earnings growth, especially among AI-related investments, supported the rally. Technology, particularly semiconductors, led performance as demand for AI infrastructure surged. Despite macroeconomic uncertainties and interest rate influences, Fenimore remains committed to investing in high-quality businesses. The Fenimore Value Strategy achieved a 9.35% return in the quarter, underperforming the Russell Midcap Index, which returned 13.83% due to its significant exposure to AI. The fund's relative underperformance was influenced by the absence of certain positions, especially in the information technology and industrial sectors. Additionally, reviewing the Fund's top five holdings could help identify its best picks for 2026.

Story Continues"We continued to build our position in Ryan Specialty Holdings (RYAN) and initiated new positions in Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO) and Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:TYL). TYL is the leading software provider to state and local governments, supported by a large installed base, strong customer retention, and high switching costs. Fears around the potential impact of AI on software providers weighed on sentiment, creating an opportunity in the share price despite the mission-critical nature of TYL's solutions and the complexity of its integrations. Our recent attendance at the company's customer conference reinforced our view of strong customer engagement and satisfaction, further supporting the durability of its competitive position and long-term opportunity."
