| 2025 Q4 | Jan 23, 2026 | Brandes International Equity Fund | 5.7% | 39.1% | 005930.KS, 1876.HK, 4503.T, 8306.T, BABA, BNP.PA, CX, DGE.L, DPW.DE, EBS.VI, ERJ, GRF.MC, GSK, HEI.DE, KER.PA, MNDI.L, NG.L, ORA.PA, OTEX.TO, RI.PA, TSCO.L, TSM | emerging markets, Europe, international, Outperformance, packaging, Utilities, value | International value stocks continue to trade within the least expensive valuation quartile relative to growth stocks since style indices inception. The valuation gap is evident across multiple metrics including price/earnings, price/cash flow, and enterprise value/sales. Historically, such discount levels often preceded attractive relative returns for value stocks over subsequent three- to five-year periods. Exposure to emerging markets helped returns, led by South Korean Samsung Electronics, Mexico's Cemex, and Erste Group Bank operating across emerging Europe. Leading contributors for the year included emerging market holdings such as Alibaba, Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor, Brazil's Embraer and Mexico-based Cemex. The portfolio continues to have larger weighting to select emerging markets, particularly Mexico, South Korea, and Brazil. National Grid has strategically repositioned its asset base toward electricity networks, reducing exposure to gas and aligning with long-term energy transition trends. Over the past decade, roughly 75% of its regulated asset base is in electricity, expected to rise to 80% by 2029, supported by structural growth in electrification and renewable integration. The company's position as a critical enabler of decarbonization provides attractive risk-adjusted returns. Mondi is a leading European producer of corrugated packaging, containerboard, kraft paper, and uncoated fine paper with strong presence in Eastern and Western Europe. Secular trends such as sustainability, convenience, and the shift from plastic to paper underpin steady growth in fiber-based packaging.
