- Horizon Kinetics 2nd Quarter Commentary Horizon Kinetics defended long-duration ownership of land, royalty and exchange businesses, arguing that index-driven market structure creates discounts in smaller and illiquid companies. It reduced precious-metals royalty exposure as valuations absorbed gold-price optionality, while maintaining conviction in LandBridge, securities exchanges and bitcoin's supply-and-network economics. 2nd Quarter 2026 TPL $24BAMZN $2.7TCBOE $29B
- Horizon Kinetics 3rd Quarter Commentary Horizon Kinetics argues that index concentration has created opportunities in securities exchanges, which monetize persistent trading volume with limited incremental capital. It favors royalty and infrastructure businesses tied to gold, potash, natural gas and Permian water, positioning them as asset-light beneficiaries of localized scarcity and data-center power demand. 3rd Quarter 2025 ATUSF $2.8BCME $97BEME $35B
- Guinness Global Investors Guinness Global Equity Income Investment Commentary – September 2026 Guinness Global Equity Income sold Aflac, citing a saturated Japanese market, buyback-supported earnings and a richer valuation, and added Nvidia on AI-infrastructure demand, CUDA-driven switching costs and dividend-growth capacity.

- Upslope Capital Management 2026-Q2 Update Upslope kept long-portfolio turnover low as investors favored AI-linked momentum over defensive cash-flow businesses, while exiting Intel and Hershey after their theses played out and trimming Jack Henry to reduce AI-risk exposure.

- Horizon Kinetics 2nd Quarter Commentary Horizon Kinetics argues that index construction concentrates exposure in highly valued technology companies while excluding scarce hard-asset, utility and entrepreneurial opportunities. It favors Japanese owner-operators, centered on Japan Elevator Service Holdings, whose founder-led maintenance model uses technology, training and below-incumbent pricing to gain share from established manufacturers. 2nd Quarter 2025 JPEVF $1.7BAB $3.3BAMZN $2.7T
