Large-scale capital expenditure by global hyperscalers has driven sharp increases in demand for semiconductors and data-center infrastructure. However, SGA believes the current trend of AI CapEx growth is unsustainable and has largely run its course due to structural constraints in power availability, skilled labor, and capital availability. Several investments in e-commerce leaders across Asia and Latin America, including MercadoLibre, Sea Limited and Alibaba, faced a more competitive operating environment during the period. As long-term investors, SGA observes that competitive intensity in these markets tends to ebb and flow over shorter time horizons, with market leaders typically emerging from such periods with strengthened strategic positions given inherent network effects. The portfolio's underweight to South Korean semiconductor companies, including Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, was a key driver of relative underperformance. These stocks continued to benefit from strong AI-related memory demand and elevated investor enthusiasm. Memory chips are largely a commoditized product with weak pricing power, extreme capital intensity and pronounced boom-bust cycles that lead to volatile earnings. SGA sees worrying signs of excess and weakening lending discipline from credit markets. The scale of capital required has led to greater reliance on private credit markets and off-balance-sheet structures. Transactions such as Meta's $27 billion joint venture with Blue Owl Capital highlight both the availability of capital and the risk of excess. The sustained focus on cyclicality and momentum has driven the quality factor to historically depressed relative levels. The valuation premium for high-quality stocks has compressed to levels typically observed only during periods of crisis. SGA remains committed to businesses with pricing power, recurring revenues, and strong balance sheets - attributes that may be underappreciated in today's momentum-driven market. | OR FP TME GRAB SE BABA 9983 JP INFY TSM |

They emphasize disciplined AI capex spending and focus on companies with sustainable competitive advantages rather than chasing AI hype. The team is adding to Chinese holdings where they find leading businesses with strong competitive advantages and attractive growth at reasonable valuations, particularly Tencent. They view China as offering better opportunities despite some headwinds in specific sectors like property and chemicals. The team is reducing exposure to India, mainly in cyclical businesses where valuations are expensive and growth outlook has deteriorated. However, they remain excited about high-quality Indian companies positioned to benefit from structural tailwinds including urbanization, demographics, and digital infrastructure. Semiconductor holdings like Samsung and TSMC are key contributors, benefiting from AI-related demand for memory chips and leading-edge processors. The team focuses on companies with strong competitive positions and visibility into future earnings growth through 2026-2027. The investment philosophy centers on identifying quality companies with exceptional cultures, strong franchises, resilient financials, and sustainable competitive advantages. The team seeks companies that can deliver attractive returns over much longer periods than the market expects. The team is optimistic about emerging market opportunities, noting that the global economy is increasingly being led by emerging markets.

Management guided for 30% revenue growth in 2026 and raised 5-year CAGR guidance to 25%. The fund also initiated a position in a leading South Korean memory chip manufacturer benefiting from tight supply conditions. Tencent demonstrated strong execution with improved monetization strategies after management changes in 2024. Domestic games revenue became a strong driver of overall growth, supported by the company's strong moat through WeChat's 1.4 billion users and major gaming titles like Honour of Kings and PUBG Mobile. Apollo and KKR underperformed despite strong underlying fundamentals, with AUM and fee-related earnings growing 15-24% due to industry headwinds around private equity fundraising and private credit concerns. The fund added to positions at attractive valuations, viewing the volatility as opportunity in businesses positioned for long-term growth. Marco Polo Marine transformed from a cyclical shipyard business to a specialized offshore wind vessel provider, securing multi-year service agreements and building sophisticated vessels for the growing Asian offshore wind market. The company partnered with European designers and global players like Vestas and Siemens Gamesa. DBS Bank was added as a new core holding, recognized for converting scale and technology into structural competitive advantages. The bank achieved 18% ROE through growing fee-based businesses like wealth management, reduced cyclicality, and strong capital allocation with progressive dividends and share repurchases. The fund profitably traded a Malaysian gold miner, capitalizing on gold prices rising faster than miners' all-in sustaining costs, creating attractive margin expansion opportunities and potential valuation re-rating if price strength persists. Profitable trades in two Indonesian crude palm oil producers were driven by Indonesia's biodiesel blending mandate increase from B30 to B40, tightening export availability while supply response remained constrained by aging plantation profiles and replanting limitations. Beyond direct AI investments, the fund seeks second-order beneficiaries including data center construction, electrical infrastructure, and semiconductor supply chain opportunities where demand is visible but valuations remain more palatable than pure AI names. | 5LY SI KKR APO TSM |

Advanced chips sit at the epicenter of everything AI related, with ASML's equipment essential to printing advanced logic and volatile memory chips. Markets are attempting to price in these technological shifts, though the transition remains volatile. Semiconductor capital equipment companies continue to benefit from investor optimism around AI. Tokyo Electron benefits from rising demand for more chip volume and more complex chips, driving investment into chip fabrication plants. The company is expected to grow revenues at high single-digit rate while increasing operating margins from 25% to 35% in the medium term. E-commerce platforms face mixed dynamics with growth opportunities offset by competitive pressures. MercadoLibre continues to benefit from low e-commerce penetration in Latin America and maintains 35%+ topline growth in its 26th year. However, Alibaba's profitability in core e-commerce has been pressured by heavy investments to compete in food and grocery delivery. Nintendo's Switch 2 launch marks the beginning of a significant upgrade cycle with potential for elevated growth in both hardware and software over the coming five years. The overall Switch installed base could reach 250 million customers, nearly doubling the customer base capable of downloading gaming titles. The company is expected to grow earnings at 30% annualized for the next few years. The investment approach focuses on businesses with durable competitive advantages, strong returns on capital, and resilient earnings. Quality companies are expected to ultimately outperform the broader market despite current market preference for cyclically sensitive businesses. This quality-focused strategy is especially important when investors embrace risk and cyclicality. | View | |

The fund views copper as undervalued relative to its role in data centers, electric vehicles, and renewable energy infrastructure, while copper mining stocks trade at traditional commodity multiples despite exposure to revolutionary trends. The letter discusses AI's massive energy requirements for data centers, estimating 500-700 thousand tonnes of copper demand by 2028-2030. FCL sees AI as driving fundamental changes in commodity demand while noting that direct AI investments trade at expensive valuations compared to indirect plays through commodities. Renewable energy systems are highly copper-intensive, requiring much more copper per unit of capacity than fossil fuel generation. Wind turbines need 8 tonnes of copper per MW offshore and 2.5-3 tonnes onshore, while solar requires 2-5 tonnes per MW, driving substantial copper demand growth. FCL revisits their 2017 crypto thesis, highlighting tokenization of real-world assets and prediction markets as the next evolution. They see tokenization enabling 24/7 global trading of traditionally illiquid assets, while prediction markets like Polymarket demonstrate superior forecasting ability compared to traditional polling. Brazilian investors have developed a false belief in risk-free returns through CDI investments due to high interest rates. FCL argues this creates a paradox where avoiding risk actually increases long-term purchasing power risk, as CDI has delivered near-zero returns in USD terms over the past decade. The fund emphasizes valuation disparities between expensive US tech stocks and cheaper alternatives in emerging markets and commodities. They highlight that copper miners trade at traditional multiples despite exposure to AI and energy transition themes, presenting attractive risk-adjusted opportunities. | View | |

Roche reported positive Phase III data for giredestrant and fenebrutinib with peak sales opportunities of $5 billion each. The sector has been improving after U.S. policy pressures moderated. Increased non-U.S. defense spending is here to stay as NATO evolves from U.S. leadership to more European participation. There has been rebuilding of inventories in the European Union and efforts to maintain steady defense infrastructure supply. Japan has also increased defense spending under its new prime minister. Despite investor avoidance since COVID, Chinese innovation is rapid and happens at lower prices. The next five years will see companies consolidate and dominate higher value chain positions across pharmaceuticals, battery materials, solar energy and technology. Lower valuations and higher profitability make exposure necessary. Banks can benefit from funding AI and energy transitions through new profitable loans. Heidelberg Materials could see upside from implementing decarbonization technologies in cement production. The transition creates lending opportunities and operational improvements for industrial companies.

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 | |

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 | |

ASML sees increasing lithography intensity driven by artificial intelligence. The managers view compute and generative AI as accelerating across industries as a key structural change driving economies over the next decade. E-commerce continues to reshape retail through greater convenience and lower costs, with portfolio companies like MercadoLibre, Shopify, and Sea Limited representing dominant positions in their respective markets. Despite near-term margin pressures from investments in logistics and fulfillment, the managers remain confident in the long-term digitization trend and competitive positioning of these platforms. The semiconductor sector shows strong momentum with TSMC reporting over 40% year-on-year revenue growth and ASML seeing substantial EUV demand with expectations for 15% sales growth in 2025.

Management sees structural shift toward increased defense spending across NATO and Asia Pacific nations after years of underinvestment. Visible growth stretches years into the future with strong orders, high backlogs, and political will to invest in national security. The manager acknowledges AI's long-term potential to drive productivity gains while remaining cautious about concentration risk. Companies involved in AI development remain attractively valued relative to growth trajectories, though excitement has stretched beyond IT sector into energy and utilities. The challenge is avoiding portfolios that appear diversified but are overly concentrated around AI themes. Sandoz Group benefits from strong biosimilar growth with streamlined U.S. regulatory guidance moving closer to EU model. This regulatory shift reduces development costs, enabling reinvestment into pipeline expansion and acceleration of future programs. The company plans to launch generic semaglutide in Canada in 2026 as a test case for larger global opportunities. The global mining cycle remains supportive with capex momentum improving after years of troughing, underpinned by elevated commodity prices. Weir Group was initiated as a new position, benefiting from high aftermarket exposure and secular demand drivers in copper and gold. The company is well positioned whether capex flows to greenfield or brownfield projects. Standard Chartered's Wealth Management platform has taken share from competitors and benefits from expanding assets under management.

The manager believes we may be nearing a Barnes & Noble moment where widespread business adoption accelerates, similar to internet adoption after 1995. They maintain strategic positioning in AI infrastructure companies with strong moats. Semiconductor equipment holdings drove strong Q4 performance, benefiting from improving industry outlooks and attractive valuations. The manager reduced underweight in Nvidia while favoring Broadcom's ASIC strategy, expecting custom silicon to gain market share in AI data centers. Following extensive research including a field trip, the manager re-entered Chinese technology and e-commerce through Alibaba and Tencent. They believe the regulatory environment has shifted from crackdown to active support, creating opportunities to buy excellent businesses at compelling valuations despite ongoing geopolitical tensions. Cloud infrastructure remains critical to AI deployment with companies like Alibaba holding 30% of China's cloud market and integrating AI capabilities. The manager sees cloud as essential infrastructure for the AI ecosystem with substantial growth runway as penetration remains below Western markets. The manager added back to Fortinet following 40% underperformance, seeing the company positioned to benefit from secular tailwinds in cybersecurity and vendor consolidation. Strong customer switching costs and network effects support continuous market share gains despite recent volatility. | 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 | |

Memory chip providers like Micron and Samsung surged 240% and 120% respectively. Industrial businesses like Caterpillar and Finning benefited from AI-related capital spending for power generation equipment. Gold prices rose 64% as global central banks bolstered reserves and investors sought store of value amid geopolitical concerns and US deficit levels. Precious metals had their best year since 1979, contributing significantly to Canadian market returns. European financials rose 65.7% in 2025 as positive interest rates re-ignited profitability. Canadian bank stocks rose 43.4% as falling rates caused yield curve steepening. Over five years, European financials returned 111.5% versus S&P 500's 82.3%. Manager emphasizes opportunities in defensive areas like healthcare and consumer staples trading at historically low multiples. European cyclicals and smaller cap companies globally trade at low earnings multiples with depressed margins, offering reasonable returns with conservative assumptions.

These technology firms were leading contributors to portfolio performance during Q4 2025, with the manager highlighting their role in the digital economy transformation. Financial intermediaries represent 20.5% of the portfolio, with the manager believing they should benefit from interest rates determined primarily by free market forces. Key holdings include Citigroup, Bank of Ireland, BNP Paribas, NN Group, Capital One, and Charles Schwab, which were significant contributors to Q4 performance. The portfolio includes major e-commerce platforms Alibaba Group, Tencent Holdings, and Meta Platforms, though these were among the most significant detractors from Q4 performance. The manager maintains exposure to firms tied to the digital economy despite recent underperformance. Energy investments comprise 6.9% of the portfolio, including positions in Shell PLC and Total Energies SE. The manager notes periodic fluctuation of investor confidence in industrial commodity sector businesses, with Total Energies contributing positively to Q4 performance. The manager explicitly discusses evolving U.S. trade policies and their impact on global trade flows, noting that winners and losers among multi-national producers of tradeable goods will become obvious in time. The current outlook for many global businesses remains uncertain due to new trade policies. | View | |
