Commentary
Value equities delivered solid returns during the fourth quarter, outperforming growth as investors leaned toward durable cash flows, attractive valuations, and defensive characteristics. With the Fed lowering rates, value stocks posted mid-single-digit gains in the quarter. Healthcare drove performance as many regulatory concerns were alleviated during the quarter. The Technology Sector did well as investors favored many of the names levered to an improving economy and continued investment in AI infrastructure. The Commerce MidCap Value Fund’s return of -0.05% underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index return of 1.42%.
Stock selection detracted from the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s strongest contributors were Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation Class A (1.18%), Travel + Leisure Co.

The Fund’s sector allocation added to performance for the quarter.

The Index has a 10.35% weight in the Information Technology Sector. However, the Fund’s 0.99% underweight position in the Healthcare sector, which returned 9.65%, detracted from performance as it was a stronger sector. The Index had an 8.13% weight in the Healthcare sector.
