Just seven mega-cap U.S. tech stocks drove nearly 60% of the S&P 500 gains in 2025 to date.

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 22, 2026 | Mondrian Global Equity Fund | 0.0% | 0.0% | 005930.KS, CAP.PA, GOOGL, MSFT, ORCL | AI, banks, Currency, Europe, financials, Global Equities, value | AI investment has accelerated with massive capital requirements for frontier model development. Hyperscalers fund build-out from free cash flow while AI startups strike extraordinary deals with uncertain economics. The shift toward debt-funded expansion adds systemic fragility given unproven AI economics and uncertain future demand. European banks have been rehabilitated after years in purgatory, with returns of 77% in 2025. Return on equity has normalized above 12% following exit from ultra-low rates, while capital positions have been rebuilt. However, supportive factors are well-appreciated by markets, reflected in significant valuation re-rating. Non-US equity markets remain particularly attractive from a stock-picking perspective, offering less concentration risk and a broader opportunity set for valuation-driven investors. The firm maintains disciplined, value-oriented investment approach to identify materially mis-priced securities with superior risk-adjusted return profiles. | View | |

Companies like SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, and MKS Inc. delivered strong results driven by accelerating AI demand across semiconductor and advanced electronics end markets. Memory manufacturers in Korea were top contributors as supply-demand constraints benefit memory chip suppliers. The market expects memory price increases in 2026, further supporting performance of Samsung and SK Hynix. AI-driven demand across semiconductor end markets accelerated growth. The investment approach remains disciplined and focused on strong cash flows from quality companies selling essential products and services with good management teams creating shareholder value. The manager seeks situations where attractive valuations meet genuine business momentum, avoiding trends and distant promises. International equities outperformed after a decade of American dominance, driven by weaker U.S. dollar, more attractive valuations abroad, and slowing momentum in U.S. tech. This country and sector rotation validated the need for diversification instead of home bias, with attractive opportunities in targeted developed and emerging markets. Yara International benefited from partnerships for low-carbon ammonia projects in the U.S. and Middle East, positioning the company toward becoming an energy-transition and low-carbon fertilizer company while securing long-dated contracts.

The market expects memory price increases in 2026, further supporting performance of these Korean memory giants. AI demand drove strong performance in technology companies including Capgemini Group which benefited from cloud, data and AI demand. However, Alibaba faced profitability pressure due to significant AI spending despite revenue growth in its cloud division. HD Hyundai Electric capitalized on increased demand to expand and upgrade power infrastructure, completing construction of a new Korean power distribution equipment plant. European fiscal stimulus focused on defense and infrastructure spending supported regional performance. Yara International partnered with Air Products for low-carbon ammonia projects in the U.S. and Middle East, positioning toward becoming an energy-transition and low-carbon fertilizer company while securing long-dated contracts. Chinese e-commerce companies showed mixed results with Alibaba reporting impressive quarterly revenues and growth in cloud division and one-hour delivery business, while facing profitability pressure from aggressive discounting in instant retail space. Lundin Mining announced record third-quarter revenues, profiting from higher realized copper prices in an advantageous supply-demand environment.

The manager emphasizes that fundamentals eventually win out despite current market speculation. The manager identifies significant red flags in circular financing fueling the AI boom, comparing it to vendor financing of the late 90s. Companies like Oracle, OpenAI, Nvidia and CoreWeave participate in arrangements that effectively fund their own customers' purchases. Strategy Inc.

The stock fell 60% as its premium to Bitcoin holdings evaporated, forcing the company to sell equity to cover preferred dividends rather than buy more Bitcoin. | NKE TW LN BKNG |
