| 2025 Q4 | Jan 5, 2026 | First Eagle Investments | 0.0% | 0.0% | BIO, GMEXICOB.MX, TSM | AI, Copper, global value, gold, infrastructure, municipal bonds, private credit, small cap | Gold set more than 50 record nominal highs in 2025, surging about 60% year-to-date through November. Central bank purchases have exceeded 1,000 tonnes in each of the past three full years, with gold holdings as a share of foreign reserves now exceeding Treasuries for the first time in 30 years. The team views gold as a fixed positional asset that participates in nominal drift of the economy. AI capex cycle continues to drive corporate earnings growth forecasts. TSMC is positioned as the primary manufacturer of next-gen chips used in generative AI by customers like Apple, Nvidia and Intel. AI may benefit small cap companies over a very long cycle through pick-and-shovel suppliers to infrastructure and data center construction. Grupo Mexico controls long-duration copper assets that are nearly impossible to replicate, with the largest reserves of any copper producer and mines well positioned on the cost curve. The company is positioned to benefit from the constructive long-term outlook for copper demand. An estimated 90% of dollars raised and spent on US infrastructure is financed through municipal bonds. The American Society of Civil Engineers graded America's infrastructure a C in 2025, indicating ongoing need for investment. Much of municipal bond issuance has been concentrated on infrastructure projects. Private equity investments benefited from zero interest rates following the global financial crisis, but the cost of acquiring and building businesses has increased since rates shifted higher in 2022. Underwriting standards have deteriorated in parts of the private credit market, with increased lending to borrowers with weaker covenant protections. | BIO TSM |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 29, 2026 | abrdn Emerging Markets Fund | 4.6% | 32.0% | 000660.KS, 005930.KS, 028260.KS, 0700.HK, 267270.KS, ADIB.AD, ALDAR.AD, ASX.TW, BABA, BBNI.JK, GMEXICOB.MX, KAP.L, MULT3.SA, RIO, TLKM.JK, TSM | AI, China, Copper, emerging markets, Memory, semiconductors, technology, Trade Policy | AI-driven tech rally continued in Taiwan, lifting local tech stocks at the epicenter of US AI infrastructure buildout. Memory chip producers benefited from confirmed chip shortages and price increases for DRAM and HBM chips. AI delivery has become a critical component of the US economy, with Beijing expected to build a rival AI ecosystem. Technology stocks rallied driven by semiconductors, specifically memory stocks, as confirmed chip shortages resulted in noticeable price increases for DRAM and HBM chips. This proved particularly beneficial for South Korean heavyweights and leading memory chip producers like SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics. China and Hong Kong were detractors as markets sold off amid softer growth and underwhelming government response. Despite deflation concerns, southbound flows have accelerated in 2025, suggesting greater risk appetite among Chinese investors that could drive a wealth effect supporting consumption. Trump's tariffs suggest goals of shifting manufacturing and raising revenue for tax cuts are prime. Market consensus sees a move towards breakdown in China-US trade, though pace and extent of decoupling remain uncertain. Trump has extended tariff pressure to India and Brazil, but agreements to reduce tariffs are expected. Copper miner Grupo Mexico rallied on rising copper demand driven by electrification and data center growth. The miner, with access to low-cost reserves, remains a long-term beneficiary. Copper and other minerals have gained from AI infrastructure development and energy transition. | View |
