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 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 | |

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.

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 |

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 | |

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.

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.

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.

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 | |
