The firm expects a structural deficit to emerge as shale production falters just as new LNG capacity comes online and data center proliferation drives unprecedented electricity demand. | View | |

Semiconductor giants SK Hynix and TSMC posted record-high profits driven by accelerating AI adoption. However, concerns about an AI bubble created drag on global tech stocks in early December. The Fed cut interest rates at October and December meetings, bringing total reductions to three in 2025 and lowering the target range to 3.50%-3.75%. The Bank of Japan raised its key rate to a 30-year high at 0.75%. The ECB held rates steady despite elevated eurozone inflation remaining above the 2% target. U.S. inflation slowed to 2.7% in November from 3% in September. Eurozone inflation rose to 2.2% in November, remaining above the ECB's 2% target for three consecutive months. Japan's core inflation rose 3.0% in November, well above the central bank's 2% target. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 10, 2026 | PM Capital Australian Companies Fund | 3.7% | 28.9% | APO, BHP.AX, CGF.AX, CMCL.TO, FDV.AX, HEIA.AS, INGA.AS, NEM, NST.AX, RYAAY, SHL.DE, SMR.AX, WDS.AX | Australia, banks, commodities, Copper, financials, gold, Mining | Gold rose 12% over the period, reaching a record high in December. 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. Stanmore has maintained consistent mine plans and capital expenditure programs and is therefore well positioned to benefit from any improvement in commodity prices. | WDS AU FDV AU CGF AU SMR AU CSC AU NEM US |

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 | |

Portfolio holdings Freeport McMoRan, Teck Resources, and BHP delivered strong performance. 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. The market is transitioning toward improving organic loan growth after fifteen years of stagnant credit activity. | CRN LN APO SHL GR UNP LLOY LN BIRG LN IMI LN TECK FCX |

| 2025 Q4 | Dec 31, 2025 | Royal London Global Equity Diversified Fund | 4.8% | 12.5% | 7741.T, AAPL, AMZN, AVGO, BHP.AX, BRO, CPRT, GOOGL, HEIA.L, ITW, JPM, LLOY.L, LLY, LW, META, MSFT, MU, NVDA, RACE, V | AI, defense, Global Equity, healthcare, Quality, semiconductors, technology, Valuations | The fund benefited from strong positioning in AI-related companies, particularly Alphabet which saw positive results following the release of the Gemini 3 model that was widely accepted as market leading. The generative AI supercycle has driven extreme market concentration in the magnificent few companies, leaving huge parts of the equity universe ignored. Eli Lilly was a key contributor due to its dominant position in the fast-growing GLP-1 drug market. Third-quarter results were exceptional due to explosive demand for its metabolic franchise with Mounjaro for diabetes and Zepbound for obesity generating more than $10 billion in quarterly sales. Micron Technology continued to provide positive contribution as a semiconductor manufacturer benefiting from the AI boom. DRAM pricing has continued to rise sharply, creating a favorable environment for Micron and enabling improved profitability from rising AI workloads and tight semiconductor supply. The fund initiated a position in Hensoldt, a European defense electronics company, classified as an Accelerator. The investment case is underpinned by strong positioning in sensor solutions and electronic warfare, seeing heightened demand amid increased European defense spending with robust order book and technological edge in radar and optronics. The fund benefited from investors beginning to appreciate companies with more defensive qualities such as relatively reliable revenues. Many fundamentally sound, profitable, and dependable businesses are currently trading on the lowest relative valuations seen for years when compared to the broader index. | HAG GR ITW RACE LW MU LLY GOOG |

However, high-quality stocks have dramatically underperformed, with the top third returning 17% versus 37% for the bottom third year-to-date. This quality bias explains essentially all relative performance shortfall this year. | View | |

They focus on financially strong, well-managed companies equipped with durable competitive advantages, operating in industries poised for long-term growth. The letter discusses how price momentum is a well-documented phenomenon where securities whose prices have risen are more likely to keep rising in the short run. When momentum takes hold, fundamentals usually fade from view while narratives are used to justify price moves. AI enthusiasm has lifted hardware and semiconductor stocks while weighing on shares of software and services holdings. The fund discusses AI infrastructure buildout and questions about the durability of demand across the AI supply chain, while also addressing concerns about AI disrupting IT services businesses. Gold is trading at its highest inflation-adjusted level in five decades, but it is a volatile commodity. Gold-mining companies have not had a great history of profitability other than when prices are unusually high, yet surging gold prices sparked a rally in mining stocks. | EVT GR HERDEZ MM 4527 JP 002891 CH CWK LN DIA IM |

With China accounting for 53.9% of world steel production and 50.8% of consumption, declining demand combined with new supply from Mineral Resources (50mtpa) and Simandou deposits (120mtpa) suggests a recipe for lower iron ore prices and declining earnings for the majors. | RMD |
