Management guided for 30% revenue growth in 2026 and raised 5-year CAGR guidance to 25%. The fund also initiated a position in a leading South Korean memory chip manufacturer benefiting from tight supply conditions. Tencent demonstrated strong execution with improved monetization strategies after management changes in 2024. Domestic games revenue became a strong driver of overall growth, supported by the company's strong moat through WeChat's 1.4 billion users and major gaming titles like Honour of Kings and PUBG Mobile. Apollo and KKR underperformed despite strong underlying fundamentals, with AUM and fee-related earnings growing 15-24% due to industry headwinds around private equity fundraising and private credit concerns. The fund added to positions at attractive valuations, viewing the volatility as opportunity in businesses positioned for long-term growth. Marco Polo Marine transformed from a cyclical shipyard business to a specialized offshore wind vessel provider, securing multi-year service agreements and building sophisticated vessels for the growing Asian offshore wind market. The company partnered with European designers and global players like Vestas and Siemens Gamesa. DBS Bank was added as a new core holding, recognized for converting scale and technology into structural competitive advantages. The bank achieved 18% ROE through growing fee-based businesses like wealth management, reduced cyclicality, and strong capital allocation with progressive dividends and share repurchases. The fund profitably traded a Malaysian gold miner, capitalizing on gold prices rising faster than miners' all-in sustaining costs, creating attractive margin expansion opportunities and potential valuation re-rating if price strength persists. Profitable trades in two Indonesian crude palm oil producers were driven by Indonesia's biodiesel blending mandate increase from B30 to B40, tightening export availability while supply response remained constrained by aging plantation profiles and replanting limitations. Beyond direct AI investments, the fund seeks second-order beneficiaries including data center construction, electrical infrastructure, and semiconductor supply chain opportunities where demand is visible but valuations remain more palatable than pure AI names. | 5LY SI KKR APO TSM |

Falling interest rates, rising equity prices, and improving corporate confidence are driving an optimistic outlook for deals, which should benefit advisory firms, rating agencies, and alternative asset managers. The fund continues its growth approach to investing in financial and financial-related companies, including payment businesses, financial exchanges, and data providers that enable financial transactions. The common denominator across all holdings is the use of technology and data to better serve customers and grow at above-average rates. The broader software industry came under pressure due to fears of AI disintermediation. However, vertical market software vendors serving highly regulated industries are most insulated from AI risk given their deep workflow integrations and high switching costs. Morgan Stanley expects continued margin expansion from operating leverage and efficiencies from the broader usage of AI. Bitcoin fell 23.5% in the quarter, significantly underperforming nearly every major asset class. Robinhood experienced softening in customer engagement, especially in cryptocurrency trading alongside a pullback in crypto prices. The Senate is drafting legislation to create a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency that could potentially boost digital asset adoption. Falling interest rates and federal support for housing should drive a continued rebound in mortgage origination volumes, which should benefit mortgage originators and credit bureaus.

Monetary policy and geopolitical uncertainty continued to provide a positive backdrop for gold. Portfolio holdings Newmont gained 18% and Northern Star Resources gained 13%. Copper surged 17% as supply risks came back into focus following production disruptions and material downgrades to production guidance due to geotechnical issues at several large-scale mines. Recent supply disruptions acutely highlight how tight copper markets have become given the lack of new greenfield capacity coming online and record low inventories. Challenger Limited remained a standout on the back of regulatory reforms and interest rate normalization. The position rose 8% over the quarter and achieved a 57% return for the year ending 31 December 2025. Investors are increasingly pricing in the anticipated benefits of APRA's proposed capital requirement reforms. In steelmaking coal, Stanmore Resources remains resilient despite low commodity prices that have seen peers take measures to preserve cash.

Australian bond yields increased significantly with three year bonds rising over 60 basis points and 10 year bonds almost 50 basis points, representing a shift from rate cut expectations to multiple rate increase expectations in 2026. The fund increased exposure to fixed interest rates during the quarter as markets became overly optimistic about cash rate increases in 2026. Management believes multiple rate increases would put notable downward pressure on the economy given cost-of-living pressures and higher house prices remain issues. | View | |

The fund maintains conviction in copper due to tightening supply, record prices, and geopolitical uncertainty. Gold gained 12% in the quarter, reaching record highs and delivering extraordinary 64% gains for 2025. Monetary policy uncertainty and geopolitical tensions provided positive backdrop. Portfolio holdings Newmont and Northern Star Resources contributed meaningfully to performance. Union Pacific's proposed merger with Norfolk Southern would create the first coast-to-coast rail network in the US, potentially unlocking rail's potential to capture long-distance freight. The unified network could benefit broader US supply chains and provide the next leg of growth for an industry that has relied on efficiency gains. European banking sector produced strong outperformance led by Bank of Ireland, Lloyds Banking Group, and CaixaBank. Sector returns supported by interest rate stabilization and yield curve steepening.
