In the fourth quarter, the strategy returned 9.80% (gross) and 9.53% (net) compared to 12.59% for the Russell 2500™ Growth Index. The recent market rally can be attributed to central banks pausing their rate hikes, as well as speculation about a possible shift towards monetary easing. Additionally, concerns about limited access to skilled workers and wage inflation reduction also played a role.
