“There were four notable positive contributors to returns for the quarter. Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ:JKHY) rose by 22%, adding 1.2% to the Fund’s return.  Jack Henry is a leading provider of software to banks and credit unions in the US. Its software is used to record customer transactions, complete payments, facilitate online banking, ensure regulatory compliance and mitigate fraud. Jack Henry has always placed great emphasis on customer service and has consistently ranked at or near the top of its peer group in customer satisfaction. Fiserv, its largest competitor, has consistently ranked at or near the bottom.

Fiserv had a year of significant management changes, a material earnings shortfall and a 70% decline in its share price in 2025. It recently announced it will be consolidating many of its duplicated software offerings. This is an opportunity for Jack Henry to accelerate its rate of customer wins, as many of Fiserv’s customers will be faced with the choice of moving to a different Fiserv offering, or moving to Jack Henry. Based on its industry-leading customer satisfaction, as well as its organisational stability, we expect many will choose Jack Henry. This gives us and the market increased confidence in the rate and durability of Jack Henry’s earnings growth.”
