Hyperscalers are approaching 90% of operating cash flows for CapEx spending, creating natural constraints on future growth rates. Quality factors including sales stability and high gross margins continued to underperform in 2025 as markets favored cyclical and momentum-driven assets. The portfolio's quality growth companies are trading at historically attractive relative valuations. Market leadership was dominated by momentum and cyclical assets while quality growth strategies faced headwinds. Extreme concentration and momentum effects created significant winners and losers independent of company fundamentals.	INFY NOW ARM MELI MSFT SE NFLX AVGO 9983 JP TSM GOOG	View

They emphasize disciplined AI capex spending and focus on companies with sustainable competitive advantages rather than chasing AI hype. The team is adding to Chinese holdings where they find leading businesses with strong competitive advantages and attractive growth at reasonable valuations, particularly Tencent. They view China as offering better opportunities despite some headwinds in specific sectors like property and chemicals. The team is reducing exposure to India, mainly in cyclical businesses where valuations are expensive and growth outlook has deteriorated.

The investment philosophy centers on identifying quality companies with exceptional cultures, strong franchises, resilient financials, and sustainable competitive advantages. The team seeks companies that can deliver attractive returns over much longer periods than the market expects. The team is optimistic about emerging market opportunities, noting that the global economy is increasingly being led by emerging markets.
