| 2025 Q4 | Jan 14, 2026 | Hardman Johnston Global Equity | 2.9% | 0.0% | 6501.T, AMZN, BAC, C, CCO, CTVA, EL, ELAN, GOOGL, HDFCBANK.NS, LLY, MELI, META, PRX.AS, RHM.DE, STAN.L, TMUS, UBER, VRT, VRTX | AI, banks, Data centers, defense, financials, global, nuclear, technology | The manager sees AI as having long-term potential to drive productivity gains and positions to take advantage of that growth. However, they remain cautious about AI becoming the only game in town and continue to monitor exposure closely. They note that excitement about AI has stretched beyond IT into energy, utilities and other businesses in the AI value chain, creating concentration risk. The manager remains positive on defense fundamentals and long-term growth potential despite sporadic pullbacks. They see a clear structural shift toward defense after years of underinvestment, with visible growth stretching years into the future through strong orders, high backlogs, and political will to invest in national security. Banks were leading sector contributors with strong performance from Standard Chartered and Citigroup. Standard Chartered benefits from wealth management platform growth and cross-border services, while Citigroup's transformation strategy is paying off with improved deal activity and better regulatory environment expected in 2026. The manager re-entered Vertiv given the long-term secular data center infrastructure story and strong fundamentals. They reference approximately 100GW of incremental data-center capacity additions from 2024-2029, representing meaningful revenue upside for companies with global presence in thermal and electrical equipment. The manager initiated a position in Cameco, citing structural shifts away from Russian uranium sourcing and reinvigorated nuclear development due to AI energy needs and low carbon merits. Westinghouse's agreement with the US Department of Commerce to support at least $80bn of new reactor construction materially increases earnings power. Estée Lauder drove Consumer Staples performance as the company progresses through its turnaround with outperformance in sales, margins, China, US and Travel Retail. Beauty overall is described as one of the more resilient categories enjoying both volume and value growth, with luxury beauty positioned well in the K-shaped economy. | VRTX TMUS CTVA VRT HDB ELAN CCJ 6501 JP LLY MELI UBER RHM GR EL C |

Technology-related industries showed strength, particularly in Northeast Asia and the U.S., where chip stocks rallied on AI optimism during the fourth quarter. The U.S. Federal Reserve cut its target rate 25 basis points in December. The Bank of Japan lifted its rate a quarter point while the ECB stood pat, creating rate differentials that played out in currency markets. | View | |

The manager views these tariffs as a strategy to create leverage for better trade balances, expecting volatility but anticipating rollback on many tariffs during April following concessions. | View |
