Main contributors
VIOT was the largest positive contributor at $1,150.19 (+83.74%). NXTC added $157.07 (+11.04%) and THRM added $139.06 (+5.31%).

Trading and risk
There were no purchases or exits during the session, so the result came entirely from movements in existing holdings.
The worst combined intraperiod drawdown was -0.15%. Closing price coverage was 100.00%, meaning every open holding had a current-session closing price and the closing valuation reflects prices for all open positions.
The day ended positively for both portfolio buckets, supported by a modestly favourable balance of rising holdings and a strong contribution from VIOT. The portfolio remains modestly ahead since inception.
