Commentary

MidCap Value equities posted modest losses during the third quarter supported by a strong corporate earnings season. Investors continued to favor large companies tied to the AI buildout, and the increased technologyweighting within the value index following the June reconstitution helped it participate in that strength. Energy was the top-performing value sector as higher oil prices and rising geopolitical tensions supported the group, whileHealth Care also contributed. Rising Treasury yields, persistent inflation, and the Federal Reserve’s September rate
hike weighed on rate-sensitive sectors, with Utilities, Industrials, and Real Estate lagging. The Commerce MidCap Value Fund’s return of -1.56% outperformed the Russell Mid Cap Value return of -1.98%.

Stock selection hurt the Fund’s performance for the quarter. The Fund’s strongest performers were HF Sinclair Corporation (1.81%), Valero Energy Corporation (1.21%), and Marathon Petroleum Corporation (1.24%), returning 55.03%, 49.40%, and 55.09%, respectively. The Fund’s top detractors were Corning Inc. (0.00%), not owning Moderna Inc. (0.00%), and Cummins Inc. (1.22%), returning -23.74%, 174.98%, and -27.30%, respectively.

The Fund’s sector allocation added to performance for the quarter. The Fund’s 1.47% underweight position in the Financials sector added to performance as it was a weaker sector, returning -1.48%. The index had an 17.47% weight in the Financials sector. However, the Fund’s .04% underweight position in the Information Technology sector detracted from performance as it was a stronger sector, returning 5.02%. The index had a 16.78% weight in the Information Technology sector.
