While AI represents genuine technological progress, rising energy costs, grid constraints, and capital intensity introduce economic and regulatory frictions that challenge assumptions of frictionless scalability. The strategy prioritizes intrinsic value, balance sheet strength, and resilience, seeking to avoid overpaying for certainty embedded in elevated multiples. | View | |

The manager views this as a bubble similar to historical infrastructure buildouts like railroads and electricity, where early investors suffered catastrophic losses while benefits ultimately accrued to users rather than producers. Current AI capex spending approaches 2.1% of GDP, nearing levels that coincided with previous market peaks. Value stocks are trading at some of the widest discounts on record, with the portfolio positioned in businesses trading at substantial discounts to normalized earnings power. The manager believes this disconnect reflects pessimism and exhaustion rather than permanent impairment, creating an extremely promising starting point for long-term outperformance as fundamentals reassert themselves. Momentum has been the single defining force across equity markets, with performance increasingly driven by narratives rather than fundamentals. The current cycle has been one for the record books, with the two years leading up to 2025 being the second strongest on record for momentum after the dot-com era. The manager expects mean reversion to eventually favor value strategies. Global defensive sectors have fallen to their lowest weighting since 2000, trading at discounts to both the market and their own histories amid deteriorating sentiment and unusually high short interest. These sectors offer significant upside potential and provide defense, as companies selling basic necessities tend to shine when the rest of the market is in trouble. | RKT LN WOSG LN FUN AVTR FISV DLTR IQV PM |

Their investments in merchandising and distribution are key competitive advantages in a world of tariffs and potential inflation. The company's prospects are bright, especially if we do ever see a rise in unemployment, which tends to benefit discount stores. Healthcare stocks have broadly underperformed the market since the election of President Trump, due to a plethora of regulatory, pricing and tariff risks. However, the distribution model has proven its strong resilience, with companies having meaningfully reduced their dependence on drug pricing. They are in effect a toll road on the US healthcare system and the opposite of economic rent-seeking businesses. Covid, somewhat ironically given the cancellation of so many flights, impacted the industry positively, as around 10% of aircraft were withdrawn from the market due to bankruptcies. Moreover, post-Covid supply chain shocks at Boeing and Airbus mean that the fleet is not going to be replaced any time soon. Ryanair's cost advantage almost doubled from levels in 2019. Google would be best positioned in an AI world, given its vertically integrated model and its pedigree in AI. The AI revenue model is clearly highly uncertain and far from guaranteed, but the likely attributes of winners in this space are data, processing power and distribution. Google dominates all three. Investing in physical assets in a world with an infrastructure deficit, and the potential resurgence of inflation, is very appealing. The requirement for renewed infrastructure investment in Europe is in the early stages, and competition will remain low giving both Vinci and Eiffage a meaningful competitive advantage. Combining low valuations and high cash conversion, our companies will generate around a 7% of their market cap in free cash flow. We expect them to pay an average dividend of 2.6% and are committed to share buybacks of around the same level. This is a 5% annual tailwind to the portfolio's fundamental growth outlook over the coming years. | ICE JPM GOOGL RYAAY RPRX MCK AZO DLTR |
