component weighed on relative performance.

Q: What other stocks helped฀
N.S. We often look to invest in mid-cap companies we think
have the potential to "graduate out" of the investment range,
and, in this spirit, it helped to own private companies we
owned before they went public.
Peloton Interactive (+347%) added more value than any
other fund position the past year, benefiting from healthy
demand as more consumers worked out at home due to gym
closures. We sold the fund's position in Peloton by period
end because much of the opportunity seemed to be priced
into the company's stock.
Also, we established a position in South Korea-based e-
commerce firm Coupang (+403%) before its initial public
offering (IPO) in May. We found the stock compelling due to
the company's opportunity to build scale methodically over
time. Some factors unique to Seoul – where Coupang
predominately operates – could set up this company for
growth, including the city's population density and a lack of
comparable in-store offerings.
Lastly, we owned a position in outdoor sports and lifestyle
retailer Academy Sports well before its IPO in October 2020.
The stock gained this period as management focused on
operating margins and as more people sought outdoor
activities amid in-person business closures due to COVID-19.

     financials, energy and materials.
     "Financials represented the fund's biggest sector
     overweighting at period end. Within banks, we
     maintained large positions in Huntington
     Bancshares and First Horizon, while American
     Financial Group and Arch Financial were our largest
     insurance holdings at period end.
     "The fund also holds a material overweighting in
     energy, where we are partial to companies exposed
     to the liquid natural gas chain, which we believe will
     be a secular-growth story. Our biggest holding in
     energy at period end is our position in offshore

     "In materials we own gold stocks like Novagold and
     Franco-Nevada – two holdings that detracted this
     period. Gold is a traditional inflation hedge, but
     we're also bullish on mining, where supply
     dynamics look attractive to us."
