- Vision Capital Fund Vision Capital Fund - Q2 2026 Quarterly Letter Vision Capital Fund exited Lululemon and Paycom after concluding that weakening operating fundamentals were becoming structural, while adding to selected existing holdings after price drawdowns. The fund rejects AI bottleneck trades in memory and supply-chain names, arguing that architectural innovation and new capacity can erode scarcity premiums, and favors durable platform businesses such as Tencent and Mastercard.

- Auxier Asset Management Auxier Report: Summer 2026 Auxier Focus Fund favored AI-infrastructure suppliers including Corning, Nvidia and Dell while warning that debt-funded data-center expansion, leverage and concentrated momentum exposure could reverse sharply. The portfolio also emphasized durable franchises such as Mastercard, Visa, Bank of New York Mellon, Philip Morris and Alphabet, and cited operational AI savings at UnitedHealth and other insurers.

- Brasada Capital Second Quarter of 2026 Brasada Capital favors durable AI infrastructure beneficiaries over cyclical semiconductor and memory manufacturers whose high margins may invite overcapacity.

- RGA Investment Advisors The Great Divide: Why the Stock Market is So Concentrated and Where We Are Finding Opportunities Alphabet anchors the portfolio’s AI thesis, with RGA arguing that its proprietary chips, datacenters, models, consumer distribution and cloud business make it uniquely vertically integrated. Capital One was added after its Discover acquisition, which RGA expects to create a scaled payments network, improve its loan mix and support substantial capital returns. Q3 2025 COF $120BGOOGL $4.2T
- 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
