The fund initiated a position in FANUC, expecting revenue and earnings to accelerate as global automation demand grows. Companies in the pharmaceuticals industry have focused on new products in therapeutic areas with unmet needs, including cancer and skin conditions. These select companies with innovative product pipelines are positioned to benefit from an inflection in growth. The acceleration of digitalization is benefiting technology holdings exposed to cloud computing, automation, digital payments and IT services growth. Japan-based companies, in particular, are investing heavily to increase efficiency and profits as they seek to catch up with their international competitors. | View | |

Companies like SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, and MKS Inc. delivered strong results driven by accelerating AI demand across semiconductor and advanced electronics end markets. Memory manufacturers in Korea were top contributors as supply-demand constraints benefit memory chip suppliers. The market expects memory price increases in 2026, further supporting performance of Samsung and SK Hynix. AI-driven demand across semiconductor end markets accelerated growth. The investment approach remains disciplined and focused on strong cash flows from quality companies selling essential products and services with good management teams creating shareholder value. The manager seeks situations where attractive valuations meet genuine business momentum, avoiding trends and distant promises. International equities outperformed after a decade of American dominance, driven by weaker U.S. dollar, more attractive valuations abroad, and slowing momentum in U.S. tech. This country and sector rotation validated the need for diversification instead of home bias, with attractive opportunities in targeted developed and emerging markets. Yara International benefited from partnerships for low-carbon ammonia projects in the U.S. and Middle East, positioning the company toward becoming an energy-transition and low-carbon fertilizer company while securing long-dated contracts.

European fiscal stimulus focused on defense and infrastructure spending supported regional performance. Yara International partnered with Air Products for low-carbon ammonia projects in the U.S. and Middle East, positioning toward becoming an energy-transition and low-carbon fertilizer company while securing long-dated contracts. Chinese e-commerce companies showed mixed results with Alibaba reporting impressive quarterly revenues and growth in cloud division and one-hour delivery business, while facing profitability pressure from aggressive discounting in instant retail space. Lundin Mining announced record third-quarter revenues, profiting from higher realized copper prices in an advantageous supply-demand environment.

The portfolio holds companies across this ecosystem including TSMC, Samsung Electronics, ASML, and power management providers like Delta Electronics and Schneider Electric. The semiconductor ecosystem is central to AI buildout, with the portfolio holding foundries like TSMC, memory producers like Samsung Electronics, and equipment suppliers including ASML, Disco Corp, and Lasertec. These companies represent the physical enablers of AI infrastructure despite potential cyclical risks if AI capex slows. EM exposure increased to roughly 30% of the portfolio, the largest weight ever, driven by compressed valuations and opportunities in companies like CATL, Delta Electronics, Naver, and Tencent. The manager sees attractive risk-reward profiles in EM companies where fundamentals remain robust despite underperformance. Added BAE Systems amid broader European defense sell-off, capitalizing on sustained higher defense budgets in Europe and modernization push in the US. BAE's intellectual property, government relationships, and program execution track record support resilient profitability even through periods of restrained spending. Portfolio includes e-commerce operators MercadoLibre and Sea Limited, as well as Naver which is South Korea's second-largest e-commerce business. These companies benefit from AI-based targeting and automated ad-generation tools that can expand revenue opportunities and improve monetization. | BA LN 035420 KS |

The US market is more dependent on AI continuing to surprise to the upside due to richer valuations and concentrated exposure. Global semiconductor ecosystem enables AI buildout, spanning chip foundries, memory-chip makers, and equipment manufacturers. International markets are more heavily tilted toward this manufacturing and infrastructure provider segment. International markets trade at roughly half the multiples of US stocks, offering more attractive valuations. Non-US markets start from cheaper valuations and possess more diverse growth opportunities unrelated to AI. | GOOG |

Investor interest has largely focused on high-volatility stocks, although there has been a broader search for quality AI beneficiaries. This shift has expanded the opportunity set, allowing the fund to add positions in attractively valued, high-quality companies aligned with the theme. Inflation has continued to be a persistent feature in Japan and has prompted changes in both corporate and consumer behavior. Importantly, inflation has fed through to corporate earnings and equity performance. Companies that have successfully passed on higher costs to consumers have benefited from improved operating margins. The continued improvement in corporate governance and shareholder value is a tailwind for Japanese equities. A revision of the Corporate Governance Code is expected to address corporates' hoarding of cash, which should enhance capital efficiency and ultimately lead to higher dividends and share buybacks. | View | |
