The portfolio is positioned to capture AI value through companies providing essential intellectual property and manufacturing capability for the AI ecosystem, including TSMC, Arm Holdings, SAP, and Dassault Systemes. The portfolio focuses on high-conviction quality growth businesses anticipated to achieve consistent mid-teens earnings growth with reduced variability. Despite market headwinds favoring cyclical assets, SGA maintains conviction in quality companies with predictable revenue and cash flow generation that should become more sought after if market volatility increases. New positions were established in Sea Limited and Grab Holdings, both Southeast Asian consumer internet companies with integrated ecosystems.

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 |
