The fund believes AI disruption fears are overdone for their portfolio companies, which are more likely to be beneficiaries than victims of AI adoption. Quality was the worst-performing investment factor in H1 FY26, with lower-quality and more volatile stocks significantly outperforming. This represents a continuation of quality underperformance reminiscent of the late 1990s dot-com era, driven by speculative investor behavior and thematic investing. Japan faces structural labor shortages driving increased mid-career hiring and workforce mobility. The country has a new pro-business Prime Minister and depreciating yen enhancing export competitiveness, though it faces labor shortages, inflation, and geopolitical risks with China. Enterprise software companies face investor concerns about AI disruption, particularly around AI agents displacing traditional interfaces and reducing barriers to entry. However, many providers digitize structured processes that AI cannot easily replace and are likely to benefit from AI integration. | 4194 JP TREX AUTO LN MEDP PTC |
