| 2025 Q4 | Feb 23, 2026 | Barometer Capital Management | 0.0% | 0.0% | AEM.TO, BBD-B.TO, BVN, CAT, CLS.TO, CPX.TO, FTT.TO, GOOGL, HWM, K.TO, LRCX, MS, NA.TO, POW.TO, RTX, RY.TO, SAN, SE, TTWO, TVE.TO | AI, Canada, Copper, defense, energy, financials, Precious Metals, semiconductors | AI infrastructure remained a pillar of market leadership despite some consolidation in December. The market continued to distinguish between AI-enablers where demand remained strong and more cyclical parts of the chip complex, reinforcing the durability of the infrastructure buildout theme. Semiconductors exposed to AI maintained strength as semiconductor capital spending remained supported by AI-driven demand for advanced chips. Defense spending stayed elevated amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, supporting backlog strength and long-cycle earnings durability for aerospace and defense companies. RTX and Howmet extended gains as commercial aerospace demand remained strong and defense spending supported long-cycle revenue visibility through backlogs. Precious metals experienced renewed volatility during the quarter, with gold and silver weakening sharply into the end of October after an extended run higher. The pullback created opportunity as the manager re-engaged at lower levels when the market stabilized and the broader macro backdrop remained supportive for hard assets. Gold miners delivered strong returns throughout the year despite some weakness in final days of December. Copper prices surged into year-end amid rising demand tied to electrification, infrastructure, and data-center buildouts, alongside persistent supply constraints. This supported miners levered to the copper theme, with materials exposure contributing positively through companies like Hudbay Minerals and Rio Tinto benefiting from strength in copper and base metals. The portfolio benefited from exposure to global power demand themes, with Caterpillar continuing to benefit from robust demand in its energy & transportation business increasingly tied to expanding global power needs, particularly the build-out of AI data centers requiring reliable on-site generation capacity. Nuclear energy remained supported by structural tailwinds including rising global demand for reliable baseload power. Financials added to returns with banks demonstrating strong earnings power and shareholder return capacity. Morgan Stanley benefited from a supportive backdrop for capital markets activity and wealth management momentum, while Canadian banks continued to demonstrate resilient profitability and capital strength supporting shareholder return expectations. | TVE CN LRCX CAT |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 20, 2026 | The Bristol Gate Canadian Equity | 3.4% | 7.4% | CLS.TO, CM.TO, DOL.TO, EFN.TO, ENGH.TO, EQB.TO, FSV.TO, L.TO, OTEX.TO, PBH.TO, PET.TO, RY.TO, SHOP.TO, TFII.TO, TIH.TO, TRI.TO, TVK.TO | Banking, Canada, commodities, Copper, dividends, gold, materials, value | Bristol Gate focuses on companies with consistent high dividend growth supported by robust free cash flow and disciplined capital allocation. The firm believes dividend growth rates are powerful predictors of total return, with fastest dividend growers often outperforming the broader dividend-growth universe. Several portfolio transactions were driven by deteriorating dividend growth prospects. Gold finished up 67.41% in 2025, the strongest annual return since 1979. Gold benefitted from multiple underlying fundamental and macro drivers, pushing the metal meaningfully higher. The portfolio's underweight and lack of exposure to gold/silver miners was a primary detractor from relative performance. Copper gained over 42% in 2025 and continued its move higher after bottoming during the pandemic. Copper finished up 21.43% in Q4 alone, benefitting from multiple underlying fundamental and macro drivers. The metal's strong performance contributed to Materials sector dominance. | TFII CN CM CN PET CN RY CN OTEX CN TRI CN FSV TVK CN |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 15, 2026 | ClearBridge Investments International Growth ADR Strategy | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0700.HK, 8035.T, AZN.L, CLS.TO, EL.PA, ENR1.DE, GALD.SW, HEI.DE, III.L, ITX.MC, LIN, NVO, NWG.L, RACE, ROG.SW, RYA.L, SE, SIE.DE, SONY, TT, UCG.MI | AI, Asia, banks, Europe, growth, international, Pharmaceuticals, value | The Strategy saw strength in holdings supporting the buildout of AI workloads during the quarter, led by Siemens Energy (electrical equipment for data centers), Tokyo Electron (semiconductor equipment), and Celestica (cloud platform technology solutions). Data centers remain supportive for earnings revisions in industrial holdings. Health care was a focus of activity with repurchases of EssilorLuxottica and Galderma Group and addition of Roche. Roche reported positive Phase III data for giredestrant and fenebrutinib with peak sales opportunities of $5 billion each. The sector has been improving after U.S. policy pressures moderated. Increased non-U.S. defense spending is here to stay as NATO evolves from U.S. leadership to more European participation. There has been rebuilding of inventories in the European Union and efforts to maintain steady defense infrastructure supply. Japan has also increased defense spending under its new prime minister. Despite investor avoidance since COVID, Chinese innovation is rapid and happens at lower prices. The next five years will see companies consolidate and dominate higher value chain positions across pharmaceuticals, battery materials, solar energy and technology. Lower valuations and higher profitability make exposure necessary. Banks can benefit from funding AI and energy transitions through new profitable loans. Heidelberg Materials could see upside from implementing decarbonization technologies in cement production. The transition creates lending opportunities and operational improvements for industrial companies. Value has worked internationally because inexpensive stocks are direct beneficiaries of enormous stimulus measures in Germany, Europe and Japan. The Strategy increased structural growth exposure through European and U.K. banks where there is a step change in earnings. Bank valuations remain inexpensive with excess capital. | HEI GR ROG SW NWG LN AZN LN |
