| 2025 Q4 | Jan 15, 2026 | M&G Investment | 0.0% | 0.0% | 000660.KS, 005930.KS, 0700.HK, 2308.TW, 2317.TW, BABA, BE, EXPN.L, GOOGL, LITE, LSEG.L, NVDA, REL.L, STX, TSM, WDC | AI, geopolitics, Polarisation, Quality, semiconductors, technology, value | AI remains a dominant theme with opportunities broadening beyond enablers to beneficiaries and providers. 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 |
