This technological singularity is expected to cause dramatic changes beyond typical generational disruptions. The fund focuses on identifying companies with sustainable competitive advantages in this transformative environment. SpaceX has revolutionized space travel with reusable rockets and dominates launch services, carrying over 500,000kg of spacecraft mass in Q3 2025 alone. The company is uniquely positioned for emerging opportunities in interplanetary logistics, in-orbit data centers, and asteroid mining. EchoStar provides indirect exposure to SpaceX through strategic transactions at attractive valuations. Starlink has achieved significant scale with millions of active customers and is expanding into direct-to-cell services for smartphones. The satellite internet constellation aims to deliver high-speed, low-latency broadband globally, particularly to underserved areas. This represents a major growth opportunity in telecommunications infrastructure. EchoStar's transformation involved monetizing valuable spectrum licenses worth billions, resolving regulatory issues with the FCC. The company sold spectrum to AT&T and SpaceX for over $40 billion combined, demonstrating the significant value of these invisible wireless highways. Remaining spectrum assets provide additional monetization opportunities. The fund holds luxury brands like Kering, Swatch Group, and spirits companies as AI-proof investments. These companies with strong brand moats and pricing power are expected to endure and potentially thrive despite AI disruption. Their business models are considered resilient to technological changes affecting other industries. | SATS |

Chinese technological prowess remains underappreciated in AI, driving memory demand from data centers that vastly outstrips supply. This theme expected to be primary catalyst for Chinese and emerging market returns for many years. Memory stocks Samsung and SK Hynix returned 130% and 278% respectively, driven by AI data center demand vastly outstripping supply. SK Hynix expected to increase server DRAM prices 60-70% quarter-on-quarter in Q1 2026, driving earnings upgrades while stocks remain attractively valued at 8.4x P/E versus Nvidia's 21.4x. Emerging markets returned 34% for 2025, outperforming S&P 500 by 16.5% - strongest relative performance since 2008. Driven by weakening USD, concerns about US over-concentration, and strong country-specific drivers. Markets offer higher earnings growth and lower valuations with 18% EPS growth and 0.8x PEG ratio versus S&P 500's 16% and 1.5x. Frontier markets returned 47% in 2025, delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns supported by low correlations across diverse universe of 20 markets. Expected 4-4.5% structural growth supported by large young populations and reform momentum, with easing monetary conditions supporting domestic investment and consumption. | 000660 KS |

The team expects AI-related investment opportunities to encompass an increasing number of companies that stand to benefit from capital-fuelled AI advancements, while being selective about frothy valuations. Quality stocks suffered their worst relative decline in developed markets in more than two decades in 2025. The team is taking advantage of the market shunning quality stocks, finding opportunities in companies with high return on capital and good long-term defensive characteristics that have been unfairly de-rated. US Growth versus Value shows the widest valuation gap in decades, while Value has performed better in other regional markets, notably Europe and the UK. The team sees opportunities for Value catch-up as AI moves from builders to users across traditional sectors. Semiconductor cycle remains strong with companies like SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics delivering substantial earnings upgrades. However, there are risks that higher prices could lead to demand destruction as customers baulk at paying elevated prices for electronics. | View | |

The continued evolution of the AI investment cycle drove positive momentum, with notable strength in Korea. Memory semiconductor companies like Samsung and SK Hynix benefited from soaring demand for high-performance AI memory. Strong operational performance at Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix contributed to fund returns. Samsung is projected to regain the number one position in the global DRAM market, driven by soaring demand for high-performance AI memory and sharp rise in conventional DRAM prices. SK Hynix reported 62% year-over-year growth in profits and all capacity is fully booked for 2026. China offers the clearest example of how policy direction, innovation capacity and sheer scale can combine to reshape global industries. The 15th Five-Year Plan emphasizes AI, computing infrastructure, semiconductors, and smart manufacturing. Despite tariffs and trade tensions, the combination of high-quality businesses and compelling valuations remains hard to ignore. The commodities sector has been in focus with combination of US easing cycle and political will for a weaker dollar being very positive for gold and broader precious metals complex. Lithium saw easing upstream cost pressures and robust downstream battery-storage demand supporting sharp price recovery. Copper market shows structurally tight supply with planned supply expected to meet only 70% of projected 2035 demand. Latin American e-commerce and fintech platform MercadoLibre detracted from performance for the second quarter in a row, though the manager maintains a differentiated view based on long-term investment horizons. The company recorded its 27th straight quarter of 30% or higher revenue growth. Korean e-commerce leader Coupang faced challenges from a major data breach despite continuing strong growth. South Korea was one of the world's best-performing markets this year, buoyed by regulatory and governance reforms raising hopes for improved shareholder returns through the 'Value Up' program. Memory semiconductor space showed strong operational performance with significant upgrades to earnings forecasts, making valuations still attractive in global context despite rapid share price appreciation. | View | |

The combination of industrial-scale spending, still-unproven economics, and higher valuations increases the risk that expectations get ahead of reality. Amphenol benefited from robust demand for AI-related interconnect products, which now account for over a third of its revenue. Gold remained well supported against the backdrop of easier global policy and unresolved geopolitical and trade risks. The firm narrowed their long-standing underweight to gold stocks in a measured way as geopolitical uncertainty, de-dollarization, fiscal indiscipline, central bank gold purchases, and falling interest rates created a more supportive backdrop. They focused on gold-related companies with differentiated, relatively lower-risk business models. Defense contractors such as the UK's BAE, Italy's Leonardo, and France's Thales experienced pullbacks in the fourth quarter on the possibility of a diplomatic breakthrough in the Russia-Ukraine war. However, geopolitical events early in the year helped defense company shares more-than-offset the declines seen in the fourth quarter. Kraken Robotics also benefited from increased government defence spending. High-bandwidth memory leader SK Hynix nearly doubled in the quarter thanks to explosive demand for its products. Other AI-linked semiconductor companies were rewarded for continued fundamental strength, such as TSMC and Kokusai Electric. European equities were supported by semiconductor stocks among other factors. | View | |
