The portfolio targets companies with market capitalizations in the SMID cap range, seeking to outperform the MSCI World SMID Cap Index over rolling three-year periods.

Lundin Mining was added as a new position, described as a high-quality copper-focused miner with low-cost assets and strong production growth potential.
