Bretton Fund returned 10.67% in the second quarter compared to a 15.20% return for the S&amp;P 500 Index. Increased spending on AI data centers has hurt overall performance relative to the broader market. Despite optimism about AI, concerns linger over the sustainability of this spending. The semiconductor industry faces inflated stock prices amid high demand, but this is expected to lead to a downturn in the memory sector. The strategy will emphasize long-term fundamentals over short-term trends.
