The company faces burning questions about new favorable contracts for its assets, as current arrangements involving shipping Canadian forests to burn in Yorkshire upset environmentalists, fossil fuel loyalists, and trees alike. Despite policy uncertainty, Drax has demonstrated its ability to adapt.	DRX LN WISE LN SAGA LN	View

This expansion is three years ahead of expectations and represents a significant competitive advantage through low-cost infrastructure that peers cannot match on price.	WISE.L	View
2025 Q4	Jan 20, 2026	Pernas Research	4.8%	54.3%	ADBE, APLD, CARD.L, CELH, META, NKE, PSFE, SEMR, STX	AI, defense, Mean reversion, small caps, technology, value	AI represents a consequential technological shift reshaping business and consumer behaviors. The AI-driven capex cycle is expected to persist over the next 12-16 months. The manager sees a barbell opportunity in owning clear AI winners alongside companies mislabeled as AI losers. Smaller-cap companies offer outsized opportunity due to their ability to pivot quickly in a period of rapidly increasing dynamism. Over the past two years, multi-baggers among smaller-cap names have been roughly double the 20-year average due to their organizational flexibility. The definition of defense is expanding beyond traditional military applications. Robotics, AI, cybersecurity, and data infrastructure are now central components of national security as the peace dividend and security provided by Pax Americana are eroding.		View
2025 Q4	Jan 12, 2026	Kernow Asset Management	0.0%	16.4%	CARD.L, CMCX.L, KIST.L, MTRO.L, SAGA.L, SMWH.L, STB.L, WISE.L	Banking, contrarian, Data centers, Long/Short, oil, Uk, value	The fund demonstrates classic value investing principles, buying companies trading below book value. Secure Trust Bank trades at half its book value, effectively allowing investors to buy £1 for 50p. The contrarian approach of buying when oil dropped 20% and others are selling exemplifies value discipline. Significant exposure to UK banking sector with Secure Trust Bank, Metro Bank Holdings, and CMC Markets representing major positions. Secure Trust Bank's division sale at premium to book value and new lending strategy announcement expected at Capital Markets Day are key catalysts. Despite oil dropping 20% in 2025 and Trafigura expecting further declines amid supply glut, the fund maintains contrarian positioning. Kistos doubled oil and gas production through Middle East acquisition, creating what the manager views as the most mispriced stock in the portfolio. Shorted Fermi, a £12bn AI data centre IPO, betting against the peak of AI data centre euphoria. The thesis relied on political shifts and tech breakthroughs reshaping the landscape. The stock dropped 70% within three months, validating the short position.	MICC LN FRMI LN CARD LN KIST LN STB LN	View

Berkeley Group highlighted as undervalued with strong cash position and forward visibility. Hunting exited as value trap despite 100% returns due to poor capital allocation by management.
