| 2025 Q4 | Feb 8, 2026 | SGA – Global Growth | -0.3% | 3.1% | 1299.HK, 9983.T, ADYEN.AS, ALC, AMZN, AON, ARM, AVGO, BABA, CMG, CP, CRM, DHR, EXPN.L, GOOGL, HDB, INFY, INTU, IT, MELI, META, MSFT, NFLX, NOW, NVDA, SAP, SE, SNPS, SPGI, STE, TSM, UMG.AS, UNH, V, WM | AI, cyclicals, global, growth, Quality, valuation | AI capital expenditure growth is expected to moderate due to structural constraints including power availability, skilled labor shortages, and capital availability limits. Hyperscalers are approaching 90% of operating cash flows for CapEx spending, creating natural constraints on future growth rates. Quality factors including sales stability and high gross margins continued to underperform in 2025 as markets favored cyclical and momentum-driven assets. The portfolio's quality growth companies are trading at historically attractive relative valuations. Market leadership was dominated by momentum and cyclical assets while quality growth strategies faced headwinds. Extreme concentration and momentum effects created significant winners and losers independent of company fundamentals. | INFY NOW ARM MELI MSFT SE NFLX AVGO 9983 JP TSM GOOG |

The portfolio is positioned to capture AI value through companies providing essential intellectual property and manufacturing capability for the AI ecosystem, including TSMC, Arm Holdings, SAP, and Dassault Systemes. The portfolio focuses on high-conviction quality growth businesses anticipated to achieve consistent mid-teens earnings growth with reduced variability. Despite market headwinds favoring cyclical assets, SGA maintains conviction in quality companies with predictable revenue and cash flow generation that should become more sought after if market volatility increases. New positions were established in Sea Limited and Grab Holdings, both Southeast Asian consumer internet companies with integrated ecosystems. Sea operates Shopee e-commerce platform with integrated payments and logistics, while Grab provides super-app services for ride-hailing, food delivery, and digital payments across Southeast Asia. | TEAM ARM DSY FP SRT GR 9983 JP |

| 2025 Q4 | Feb 4, 2026 | Aristotle International Equity Fund | 5.5% | 22.5% | 005930.KS, 5401.T, 6594.T, 6758.T, 6954.T, 7532.T, ALL.AX, BAP, BN, CCO, D05.SI, EBS.VI, EXPN.L, MUV2.DE, ROG.SW, SAF.PA | Asia, Automation, Banking, Europe, gaming, international, Quality, value | FANUC Corporation demonstrates leadership in factory automation and industrial robotics, with operating margins expanding to 21% and strong robot sales growth in China exceeding 80% year-over-year. The company maintains dominant positions in CNC systems and continues deepening competitive advantages through collaboration with NVIDIA on AI-driven robotics and digital twin capabilities. Aristocrat Leisure represents a compelling investment in the global gaming market with over 70% recurring revenue from slot machines and digital platforms. The company benefits from an oligopolistic industry structure and strong market positions across North American commercial and tribal gaming markets, supported by proprietary content franchises. Erste Group Bank delivered strong operating performance driven by healthy loan growth, resilient net interest income, and solid fee income across Central and Eastern European markets. The bank's diversified retail-oriented model and leading market positions support continued growth as regional economies develop and demand for financial services expands. The U.S.-China trade relationship showed improvement with a one-year trade truce reached at the APEC summit, reducing China's effective tariff rate to 47% and deferring export controls on rare earth materials. However, new tensions emerged with Japan over Taiwan, highlighting ongoing geopolitical complexities affecting global trade flows. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 26, 2026 | Brown Advisors Global Leaders Strategy | 0.0% | 15.2% | ADBE, ALLE, ASML, AZO, EFX, EXPN.L, GE, GOOG, ILMN, LSEG.L, MA, MRVL, MSFT, ROG.SW, RTO.L, TSM, V, WDAY, WKL.AS, ZTS | AI, Data, global, infrastructure, Quality, technology | AI is incredibly fast moving with innovations from DeepSeek in China to chain of experts and reasoning models becoming default standards. The potential for disruption in advertising, call centers and software is running way ahead of current adoption. Three or possibly four LLMs have pulled away from the pack with feedback loops from reasoning models creating one-sided network effects from scale. Credit bureau market is effectively an oligopoly with extremely high barriers to entry due to uniqueness and scale of data. Equifax and Experian provide critical data and analytics services across various sectors with distinct growth drivers in workforce solutions, healthcare, marketing and international markets. Strategy focuses on high-quality companies with superior customer outcomes that can pass on prices and generate high levels of recurring revenue while requiring low financial leverage. Many quality compounders that were historically unjustifiably expensive have become significantly more attractive over the past couple of years. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 18, 2026 | Troy Multi-Asset Strategy | 0.0% | 0.0% | AMZN, DEO, EXPN.L, FI, GOOGL, LSEG.L, META, MSFT, NVDA | AI, Cloud, Data, global, Quality, technology, value | AI disruption is more imagined than real at this point, with earnings for companies in the crosshairs remaining sound. The Strategy sees significant opportunity as several portfolio companies are temporarily misjudged in debates about AI's potential impact. Capital expenditure estimates for major tech companies are over 50% above where they were 18 months ago, but scaling laws continue to hold and AI demand currently outstrips supply. Data and information service providers face hypothetical challenges focused on AI's potential to change competitive dynamics, leading to valuation de-rating despite solid operating results. Companies like Experian and LSEG have proprietary datasets that cannot be easily replicated by AI, with deep regulatory moats and embedded customer relationships providing protection. Cloud service revenues are accelerating as capacity comes online, with contracted backlogs growing substantially faster than revenues. Despite enormous scale, revenue growth has accelerated across major cloud providers including Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS, driven by AI demand that currently outstrips supply. | EXPN LN LSEG LN DGE LN FISV |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 18, 2026 | T. Bailey Multi-Asset Dynamic Fund | 3.5% | 13.9% | AZN.L, BYTS.L, CKN.L, EXPN.L, HIK.L, HLMA.L, IMI.L, ITRK.L, LLOY.L, MAN.L, MNDI.L, NWG.L, ORCL, ROR.L, TSCO.L | AI, Central Banks, Copper, diversification, gold, Multi-Asset, Trade Policy, UK Budget | Artificial intelligence shifted from growth to returns on capital as earnings and guidance highlighted rapidly rising infrastructure spending. Oracle's December profit warning and data-centre project delays intensified scrutiny of near-term monetisation, marking a turning point that tempered earlier enthusiasm for AI infrastructure and chipmakers. Gold surged above US$4,300 per ounce in October, prompting exposure to be trimmed closer to long-term strategic targets. After experiencing one of its steepest single-day declines in years on 21 October, the metal subsequently recovered to reach a new high above US$4,500 in December, supported by falling bond yields and growing expectations of rate cuts. Copper performed well this quarter, rising 16.57%, with demand remaining resilient supported by ongoing electrification and infrastructure spend. Supply stayed relatively tight due to limited new mine capacity and periodic disruptions, while improving risk sentiment and pockets of inventory rebuilding provided additional support. Trade tensions stayed elevated despite a truce, with threatened tariff escalation in October giving way to a one-year US-China tariff truce after late-October talks. This eased near-term supply-chain risk but left strategic issues unresolved, with stockpiling activity providing support as market participants hedged against further tariff uncertainty. | View | |

Oracle's December profit warning and data-centre project delays intensified scrutiny of near-term monetisation, marking a turning point that tempered earlier enthusiasm for AI infrastructure and chipmakers. Gold surged above US$4,300 per ounce in October, prompting exposure to be trimmed closer to long-term strategic targets. The metal experienced one of its steepest single-day declines in years on 21 October but subsequently recovered to reach a new high above US$4,500 in December, supported by safe haven demand and central bank purchases. Copper led performance within multi-asset portfolios, advancing 16.57% over the quarter. Following a correction in July 2025 driven by tariff-related volatility, copper stabilised and rebuilt momentum through Q4, underpinned by a structurally tight supply-demand backdrop and disruption risk across key producing regions. Trade tensions stayed elevated despite a truce, with threatened tariff escalation in October giving way to a one-year US-China tariff truce after late-October talks. This eased near-term supply-chain risk but left strategic issues unresolved, with stockpiling activity providing additional support to commodity markets. | LGEU LN |

Oracle's December profit warning and data-centre project delays intensified scrutiny of near-term monetisation. AI-exposed strategies performed well with Polar Capital AI Fund returning 6.58%. Gold surged above US$4,300 per ounce in October, then reached new highs above US$4,500 in December. Supported by falling bond yields, rate cut expectations, geopolitical tensions, and central bank purchases. Copper performed well rising 16.57% in Q4, supported by ongoing electrification, infrastructure spend, tight supply due to limited new mine capacity, and stockpiling activity amid tariff uncertainty. Healthcare exposure contributed positively as policy risks receded, valuations looked attractive, and investors rotated toward high-quality, cash-generative businesses with resilient earnings. Trade tensions stayed elevated despite a truce. Threatened tariff escalation in October gave way to a one-year US-China tariff truce after late-October talks, easing near-term supply-chain risk but left strategic issues unresolved. | PCGH LN |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 16, 2026 | Janus Henderson Global Sustainable Equity Fund | -1.5% | 9.2% | 1299.HK, AAPL, AJG, EXPN.L, GOOGL, IFX.DE, KEYS, KLAC, MMC, MU, NTDOY, NVDA, ORCL, PGR, SPOT, STN.TO, TMUS, TSM, UBER, WD, WK | AI, Climate, Energy Transition, global, semiconductors, sustainability, technology | AI remained a dominant trend with NVIDIA becoming the first company to reach $5 trillion market cap. The rally broadened to the AI value chain including memory companies like Micron. Structural demand across the AI value chain remained robust despite concerns about overstretched valuations. TSMC continued positive momentum with robust results, beating revenue and margin expectations driven by strong demand for advanced products. The company raised full-year revenue guidance to 35% reflecting explosive growth in AI demand from consumer, enterprise and sovereign AI models. Clean technology economics reached a tipping point with renewables and EVs achieving cost parity, driving record investment of $2 trillion in 2025. Global EV sales reached 20% of new car purchases despite policy uncertainty, with solar attracting $500 billion in investment. 2025 was one of the three hottest years ever recorded with climate-driven disasters causing significant costs. Despite political challenges, 84% of large companies maintained climate commitments and investor sentiment remained resilient with 70% committed to sustainability long-term. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 15, 2026 | M&G Investment | 0.0% | 0.0% | 000660.KS, 005930.KS, 0700.HK, 2308.TW, 2317.TW, BABA, BE, EXPN.L, GOOGL, LITE, LSEG.L, NVDA, REL.L, STX, TSM, WDC | AI, geopolitics, Polarisation, Quality, semiconductors, technology, value | AI remains a dominant theme with opportunities broadening beyond enablers to beneficiaries and providers. The team expects AI-related investment opportunities to encompass an increasing number of companies that stand to benefit from capital-fuelled AI advancements, while being selective about frothy valuations. Quality stocks suffered their worst relative decline in developed markets in more than two decades in 2025. The team is taking advantage of the market shunning quality stocks, finding opportunities in companies with high return on capital and good long-term defensive characteristics that have been unfairly de-rated. US Growth versus Value shows the widest valuation gap in decades, while Value has performed better in other regional markets, notably Europe and the UK. The team sees opportunities for Value catch-up as AI moves from builders to users across traditional sectors. Semiconductor cycle remains strong with companies like SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics delivering substantial earnings upgrades. However, there are risks that higher prices could lead to demand destruction as customers baulk at paying elevated prices for electronics. | View | |

The memory division reported record third-quarter sales driven by AI demand. Tokyo Electron was added as a new position, benefiting from increasing semiconductor complexity across various end markets. MercadoLibre faced share price volatility reflecting a tug-of-war between accelerating revenue growth and concerns over short-term margin pressure from defending market share in Brazil. Despite disappointing performance, the manager sees substantial growth runway and disciplined long-term management. DSV shares rebounded after geopolitical pressure on global trade. Third-quarter results exceeded expectations with margin improvement and upgraded guidance on DB Schenker acquisition synergies. Management accelerated integration timeline with most savings expected within two years. Lundin Mining was added as a new position, described as a high-quality copper-focused miner with low-cost assets and strong production growth potential. The manager sees an improving demand-supply balance in copper with current valuation not accounting for company quality. | 2454 TT SALM NO 8035 JP LUN CN DSV 005930 KS TME |
