| 2025 Q4 | Jan 15, 2026 | ROCKLINC Partners Fund | 0.7% | 20.3% | AAPL, ACA, AEM.TO, AMZN, APG, BIP.TO, BN.TO, BUR.L, CCO.TO, CSL, DHR, FNV.TO, GROY, KNSL, KPG.AX, MELI, MKL, NOW, OR.V, PLD, RGLD, ROP, RPRX, SII.TO, TSU.TO, WPM.TO | active management, Canada, ETFs, gold, Precious Metals, Silver, uranium, value | Gold delivered one of its strongest annual performances in decades during 2025, with a 64.5% gain to $4,318 per ounce. The acceleration in Q4 underscores persistent safe-haven demand amid geopolitical tensions, central bank buying, inflation hedging, massive global debts and a favorable macro backdrop with lower real yields on fixed income securities. Silver far outpaced even gold with explosive momentum in the final quarter, delivering a colossal 147.5% gain for the year to $71.54 per ounce. This reflects gold's safe-haven spillover plus strong industrial demand from solar, electronics, EVs, and AI-related applications, chronic supply deficits, and early cycle speculative fervour. The firm's significant allocation to precious metals royalty companies was the primary driver of outperformance in 2025. Precious metals staged historic rallies as hard assets and inflation hedges dominated, providing a powerful tailwind to resource-heavy Canadian indices amid broader global uncertainty. The new Rocklinc Principled Equity Fund focuses on undervalued securities through a concentrated portfolio of 20 or fewer holdings, enabling conviction-driven investments based on deep fundamental analysis. The firm deliberately steers clear of overvalued securities trading at extreme multiples and resists purely speculative investments. Canada leads globally in active ETF adoption, with about 30% of total ETF assets under management being actively managed, compared to just 8% in the US. The firm launched the Rocklinc Principled Equity Fund ETF to tap into this booming market where investor demand and competition among providers are driving rapid growth. Sprott has successfully positioned itself at the center of the modern energy transition through its dominance in the uranium sector.

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 14, 2026 | Hardman Johnston Large Cap Equity | 4.3% | 0.0% | 7269.T, AMZN, AZN, BDX, CCO.TO, CMCSA, EL, EW, GOOGL, HDB, ILMN, IQV, MA, META, MMC, PYPL, SCHW, SLB, SN, TMUS | AI, Genomics, growth, healthcare, large cap, Lithium, technology | AI remains an important driver for portfolio performance, with investments made years ago benefiting from the surge in AI spending. The manager sees AI as particularly relevant in healthcare where it can help achieve both innovation and efficiency while controlling healthcare spending growth. Albemarle is benefiting from a surge in lithium prices due to near-term production disruptions at competitors, improving outlook for global EV penetration, and investment in batteries as energy storage platforms for alternative energy supplies. Illumina, with almost 70% market share in gene sequencing, has weathered a storm of life science funding cuts and competitive entries. While challenges remain, they are well positioned to benefit from any acceleration in clinical and research spending in life sciences. | OLED AEIS ILMN ALB |
