| 2025 Q4 | Jan 14, 2026 | Spheria Global Opportunities Fund | -3.0% | 2.9% | ACLR.SW, CARG, EXPD, HEM.ST, ITRK.L, JKHY, PAYC, RMV.L, SPNS, YETI | financials, global, industrials, Quality, small caps, technology | The fund maintains a consistent, valuation-aware approach focused on high-quality businesses with durable economics, proven cash generation and clear paths to value creation.

Small caps are still yet to materially close the relative valuation gap that has opened up since shortly before the current interest rate cycle kicked off in early 2022. The fund targets global listed small cap and microcap companies. | PAYC JKHY |
