Advanced chips sit at the epicenter of everything AI related, with ASML's equipment essential to printing advanced logic and volatile memory chips. Markets are attempting to price in these technological shifts, though the transition remains volatile. Semiconductor capital equipment companies continue to benefit from investor optimism around AI. Tokyo Electron benefits from rising demand for more chip volume and more complex chips, driving investment into chip fabrication plants. The company is expected to grow revenues at high single-digit rate while increasing operating margins from 25% to 35% in the medium term. E-commerce platforms face mixed dynamics with growth opportunities offset by competitive pressures. MercadoLibre continues to benefit from low e-commerce penetration in Latin America and maintains 35%+ topline growth in its 26th year. However, Alibaba's profitability in core e-commerce has been pressured by heavy investments to compete in food and grocery delivery. Nintendo's Switch 2 launch marks the beginning of a significant upgrade cycle with potential for elevated growth in both hardware and software over the coming five years. The overall Switch installed base could reach 250 million customers, nearly doubling the customer base capable of downloading gaming titles. The company is expected to grow earnings at 30% annualized for the next few years. The investment approach focuses on businesses with durable competitive advantages, strong returns on capital, and resilient earnings. Quality companies are expected to ultimately outperform the broader market despite current market preference for cyclically sensitive businesses. This quality-focused strategy is especially important when investors embrace risk and cyclicality. | View | |

Data centers remain supportive for earnings revisions in industrial holdings. Health care was a focus of activity with repurchases of EssilorLuxottica and Galderma Group and addition of Roche. Roche reported positive Phase III data for giredestrant and fenebrutinib with peak sales opportunities of $5 billion each. The sector has been improving after U.S. policy pressures moderated. Increased non-U.S. defense spending is here to stay as NATO evolves from U.S. leadership to more European participation. There has been rebuilding of inventories in the European Union and efforts to maintain steady defense infrastructure supply. Japan has also increased defense spending under its new prime minister. Despite investor avoidance since COVID, Chinese innovation is rapid and happens at lower prices. The next five years will see companies consolidate and dominate higher value chain positions across pharmaceuticals, battery materials, solar energy and technology. Lower valuations and higher profitability make exposure necessary. Banks can benefit from funding AI and energy transitions through new profitable loans. Heidelberg Materials could see upside from implementing decarbonization technologies in cement production. The transition creates lending opportunities and operational improvements for industrial companies. Value has worked internationally because inexpensive stocks are direct beneficiaries of enormous stimulus measures in Germany, Europe and Japan. The Strategy increased structural growth exposure through European and U.K. banks where there is a step change in earnings. Bank valuations remain inexpensive with excess capital. | HEI GR ROG SW NWG LN AZN LN |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 15, 2026 | Baillie Gifford -International All Cap | - | 19.0% | 005930.KS, 3317.T, 4519.T, 6869.T, 8035.T, ASML, AUTO.L, DSV.CO, EXO.MI, GAW.L, MC.PA, MELI, NMET.DE, RMV.L, ROG.SW, TSM | AI, growth, healthcare, international, Luxury, Quality, semiconductors, technology | AI continues to drive robust demand for advanced chips, particularly benefiting TSMC and related semiconductor equipment companies. However, AI tools and functionality create uncertainty for online platforms like Rightmove and Autotrader, as markets take a cautious stance on potential position erosion or increased investment needs. The impact appears mixed across sectors with clear benefits for chip manufacturers but concerns for consumer-facing platforms. Semiconductor companies were among the most significant contributors to performance, driven by robust demand for advanced chips used in artificial intelligence. TSMC benefited from AI chip demand, Samsung was supported by improving memory market conditions particularly high bandwidth memory, and related equipment companies like ASML, Tokyo Electron and Chroma also performed well during the quarter. The portfolio maintains a structural bias towards high-quality growth businesses, though this created headwinds during the quarter as quality stocks underperformed the broader international market by a margin rarely seen in recent years. The manager emphasizes focus on exceptional businesses with durable competitive advantages, strong balance sheets, and compelling long-term growth opportunities. LVMH contributed positively to performance in the quarter, supported by improving trends in Asia and the resilience of its leading brands after a period of weaker demand for luxury goods. The recovery suggests stabilization in the luxury sector following previous weakness. | View | |

Semiconductor companies were top performers with Applied Materials up 59.6% and ASML up 55.8%. The manager emphasizes the bright prospects for chip design tools given silicon requirements for AI deployment, while also initiating Broadcom for its custom chip capabilities serving cloud hyperscalers. Trump announced the highest tariffs since the 1930s, with effective rates settling around 17% after negotiations. This triggered initial market corrections but companies adapted by flexing supply chains, with macroeconomic consequences remaining benign on inflation and GDP fronts. China had a strong year with the Hang Seng up 32% as investors warmed to signals that regulatory tightening was over. Chinese tech companies demonstrated ability to deploy AI efficiently at lower costs despite GPU restrictions, while valuations became attractive after years of consolidation. The manager focuses on high-quality compounders trading at discounts after being left out of the AI rally. They target companies generating strong free cash flow with high ROIC that can redeploy capital effectively, finding opportunities in unloved sectors and geographies like Swiss stocks at multi-year valuation lows. | View | |
