| Q4 2025 | Mar 9, 2026 | RiverPark Long/Short Opportunity Fund | 0.1% | 8.5% | AAPL, AMZN, COMP, DIS, DUOL, FIS, GOOGL, ISRG, KMX, LLY, META, MSFT, NFLX, NVDA, SHOP, UBER | AI, growth, healthcare, Long/Short, Quality, technology | AI monetization is a key driver across multiple holdings, with Alphabet benefiting from AI training and inference services in Google Cloud, and the fund maintaining significant exposure to AI/Cloud Computing at 16.9% of the long portfolio. The manager views AI as creating substantial growth opportunities for companies with scale and data advantages.

| Q4 2025 | Mar 6, 2026 | Aristotle Core Equity Fund | 3.1% | 18.2% | AAPL, AMZN, APG, AVGO, COIN, GH, GM, GOOGL, JPM, MAR, META, MSFT, NFLX, NVDA, ORCL, ORLY, PFGC, TMO, TT, V | AI, earnings, Fed policy, growth, healthcare, large cap, technology, Trade | Artificial intelligence continued to be a major theme with more than 300 S&P 500 companies mentioning AI on their earnings calls during the fall. This enthusiasm helped propel mega-cap tech stocks higher and drive market gains. However, scrutiny increased around AI-related revenue circularity, massive scale of AI-related capital spending, and durability of longer-term returns on investment. | View | |
| Q4 2025 | Mar 6, 2026 | Bireme Capital | - | 33.0% | AAPL, BLNK, COST, GOOGL, INTC, META, MSFT, NKLA, NVDA, RIVN, SPCE, TSLA | AI, Bubble, Corruption, Institutional, international, Speculation, Valuations | US equity valuations are at perilous highs with S&P 500 forward P/E at 23x and CAPE near 40x, while international markets offer significant discounts. European and Japanese equities trade around 15x forward earnings, roughly 30% discount to US multiples. Latin America trades at mere 10x forward earnings with 5%+ dividend yield. Artificial intelligence investments show artificial profit today due to massive capex creating revenue for picks-and-shovels companies while depreciation lags cash expenses. The AI complex is moving toward commoditization with intense competition evident across cloud providers, compute, and models themselves. Circular investments within the AI ecosystem are reminiscent of dotcom-era vendor financing. American institutional excellence is under unprecedented attack including rule of law, independent judiciary, competent bureaucracy, and fiscal prudence. The current administration has conducted mass purges of government watchdogs, attacked Federal Reserve independence, and systematically undermined the norms that define proper federal government role. Markets are experiencing extreme speculation with vibe investing replacing fundamental analysis. Assets are priced on fantastical stories rather than cash flows, with leveraged ETFs, retail options trading, and story stocks reaching bubble-like levels. This madness can only end in disaster. High-quality international businesses trade at fractions of US multiples, with the manager positioning clients to take advantage of this divergence. Despite US equity market dominating investor mindshare, the rest of the world returned 32.6% in dollar terms in 2025 versus SPY's 17.7%. | View | |
| Q4 2025 | Mar 6, 2026 | Bumbershoot Holdings | - | 13.0% | CAMT, CF, CTRA, FSLR, Gold, GOOGL, HRI, IPI, KGF.L, LGND, MDGL, MU, NPKI, NTR, ORN, OSIS, OSK, VKTX, VMEO, VPG | Concentration, liquidity, Multi-Strat, Reflation, Selection, semiconductors, technology, value | AI remains a primary market driver but questions emerge about whether it will be hugely deflationary to the job market and SaaS technology ecosystem. The manager notes AI will transform the world and productivity but questions its investability and who wins. The manager expects the next reflation cycle will be substantial, with liquidity flooding the system and searching for places to flow. Money needs to be absorbed and finds its way into financial assets, durable businesses, and anything with credible narratives. Core gains were led by semiconductor-related adjacencies including Micron and Camtek. The fund remains particularly focused on key critical OS platform businesses and semiconductor-related adjacencies. Materials sector exposure to the agricultural-fertilizer industry via Intrepid Potash, Nutrien, and CF Industries was a positive contributor to results. The fund maintains exposure across the fertilizer value chain. Long-standing position in gold and copper miner Barrick Mining finally moved higher as a reflection of gains in the underlying yellow metal. The fund maintains exposure to precious metals mining. Playing on the continued theme of infrastructure spending, defense and energy sustainability, positions in Industrial and Energy sectors including Oshkosh, Coterra, OSI Systems, and Herc Holdings added positively to performance. | View | |
| Q4 2025 | Mar 4, 2026 | Saltlight Capital | - | 30.8% | AMD, AMZN, ASML, BLU.JO, CCL.JO, GOOGL, INTC, MELI, MSFT, NVDA, SE, TSM | AI, global, growth, semiconductors, software, technology | AI represents a general-purpose technological revolution with multi-decade second-order effects across industries, labor markets, and national competitiveness. The manager views AI as creating opportunities through enabling constraints and compounding downstream optionality, while complexity causes market participants to misprice assets. The AI epoch remains transformational and has dominated US equity markets in both size and mindshare. Upstream supply-chain participants are increasingly signaling that 2028 and beyond capex could be materially higher, not lower, contradicting the widely held digestion narrative. TSMC lifted capex expectations, ASML's bookings re-accelerated, and Intel found itself unexpectedly capacity-constrained in data-centre CPUs. The semiconductor supply chain is signaling acceleration rather than the expected digestion phase. The market is being asked to underwrite multiple Stargate-scale campuses every year for several years, with analyst forecasts implying roughly 10 GW in FY27E, 12 GW in FY28E, 13 GW in FY29E, and 16 GW in FY30E-FY31E. A 1 GW data centre costs roughly $50-60 billion, with NVIDIA capturing around $35 billion of that via its share of the stack. Software multiples have compressed as if AI disruption is inevitable, while hyperscalers and enterprises still struggle to demonstrate clear AI ROI. The traditional SaaS playbook faces challenges from AI eating into margins, attacking the pricing unit, and creating cannibalization problems. The software total addressable market is likely to grow 2-3x as AI replaces some work and the gap between software spend and headcount narrows. | View | |
| Q4 2025 | Mar 13, 2026 | Goehring & Rozencwajg Associates, LLC | - | - | CCJ, COPX, GDX, GOOGL, META, NEE, SIL, TSLA, VST, XBM, XLE, XOP | Coal, commodities, Copper, gold, Natural Gas, oil, Silver, uranium | Oil markets disrupted by closure of Straits of Hormuz affecting 20% of global production. Prices surged from $70 to $119.50 before retreating to $90. Market may be tighter than commonly believed despite IEA projections of surplus. Oil represents cheapest major asset class globally, trading at near-record lows relative to gold. Gold reached record highs above $5,000 per ounce but silver's dramatic rally has triggered a sell signal. Historical pattern suggests both metals may enter 2-3 year correction period. Central bank demand remained strong at 863 tonnes for 2025, though China purchases slowed significantly. Silver surged 220% since April 2024, generating powerful sell signal for precious metals. Performance mirrors 1979 parabolic blow-off that marked end of gold bull market. Retail demand peaked with reports of long lines at dealers globally before recent 40% decline from highs. Market shifted from deficit to surplus as Chinese demand stalled for first time in 25 years while supply expanded by 3 million tonnes since 2021. Exchange inventories reached 1.2 million tonnes, highest since 2003. Bearish outlook as China transitions from under-consuming to over-consuming copper. Demand surging from nuclear restarts and new construction while supply faces operational challenges. Google, Meta partnerships signal corporate adoption of nuclear power. Sprott Physical Uranium Trust resumed buying 10 million pounds since June, helping drive 45% price increase. North American gas showed strength on cold weather despite bearish sentiment. Production growth concentrated in Permian Basin while other shales declined. Supply growth expected to plateau as Permian oil production slows, setting stage for higher prices as LNG demand expands. Coal consumption rose 7-8% in 2025, first increase in years, driven by data center demand and higher gas prices. Multiple plant closures delayed or cancelled as grid reliability concerns mount. Asia continues expanding coal capacity despite transition promises. Bull market may be in early stages with most commodities 46% below nominal peaks and 73% below inflation-adjusted highs. Commodity-to-equity ratio near historic lows suggests capital starvation. Current cycle appears only one-third complete compared to historical precedent. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 9, 2026 | Loomis Sayles Global Growth Fund | -3.1% | 17.6% | 6954.T, AMZN, BA, BABA, GOOGL, MELI, META, MSFT, NFLX, NKE, NVO, ORCL, QCOM, RACE, SHOP.TO, TSLA, UAA, UL | AI, Automation, Cloud, global, growth, Quality, Streaming, technology | AI investments are driving significant growth across portfolio companies. Alphabet benefits from AI overviews in 40 languages with 2 billion monthly users and AI Mode with 75 million daily users. Google's AI investments contribute to faster query growth and improved monetization. Oracle's cloud infrastructure business is built for AI workloads, targeting over $100 billion in revenue by 2029.

Shopify's cloud-based platform enables merchants to manage retail operations globally. E-commerce growth remains strong across Latin America and globally. Shopify reported 32% revenue growth with $92 billion GMV, gaining market share and expanding merchant solutions. MercadoLibre continues to dominate Latin American e-commerce with 49% revenue growth, expanding product categories and deepening selection. The company benefits from lower e-commerce penetration rates in Latin America versus other regions. Streaming entertainment continues secular growth from linear television shift. Netflix reported 17% revenue growth driven by higher subscriptions and pricing, with share of TV viewing growing 15% in US and 22% in UK since 2022. The company completed rollout of internal ad tech platform and targets doubling advertising revenue in 2025. Netflix's proposed $82.7 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. would expand content scale and intellectual property portfolio. Factory automation benefits from rising labor costs and falling automation costs globally. Fanuc reported 9% revenue growth with strong robot segment performance, driven by EV industry demand in China and US manufacturing activity. The company maintains 50% market share in factory automation and is partnering with Nvidia to embed AI into industrial robots. Rising labor costs across manufacturing countries support long-term secular demand growth. | MELI NFLX ORCL 6954 JP SHOP GOOG |

Looking ahead to 2026, the AI trade will be in focus as investors may start to expect companies to show returns on the capital being invested in AI infrastructure. The fourth quarter delivered continuation of upside since April, with the market hitting new all-time highs in October before experiencing a shaky November. The Equity Income strategy is positioned to capitalize on volatility and buffer any pullbacks in the near term. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 8, 2026 | Auxier Asset Management | 2.0% | 15.2% | BK, BRK-A, BTI, C, CAT, CVX, FI, GE, GLW, GOOGL, HD, LOW, MSFT, MU, NOW, PH, QCOM, RTX, UNH, VLO | AI, Banking, Buybacks, defense, energy, healthcare, technology, value | Technology hyperscalers spent close to $400 billion in 2025 on AI infrastructure with potential to reach $527 billion in 2026. However, an MIT study found 95% of generative AI pilots failing to deliver measurable returns, raising concerns about overinvestment similar to the dot-com era. Supply demand dynamics favored US stocks with $1.1 trillion in total stock buybacks versus only $46 billion in IPOs. Energy leaders like Chevron rewarded shareholders with aggressive stock buybacks alongside strong production and growing dividends. Over 100 countries dramatically increased defense spending in 2025, providing a boost for the aerospace and defense sector. Jet engine production and maintenance soared, benefiting firms like Parker Hannifin, GE, RTX and Berkshire's Precision Castparts. In the fourth quarter, investors shifted toward undervalued, high-quality companies with strong free cash flow yields. Healthcare led with an 11.25% catch-up return as its valuation metrics remain at a significant discount to the broader market. Larger banks enjoyed steepening yield curves and robust capital markets activity, with Bank of New York and Citigroup showing strong fundamentals at cheap valuations. JPMorgan predicts a breakout year for IPOs in 2026 with names like SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic potentially entering the market. | View | |
| Q4 2025 | Feb 8, 2026 | SGA – U.S. Large Cap Growth | 0.2% | 3.0% | AAPL, AMZN, ARM, AVGO, AXP, COO, CRM, DHR, GOOGL, GWW, INTU, META, MSFT, NFLX, NKE, NOW, SPGI, V, WM, YUM | AI, growth, large cap, momentum, Quality, semiconductors, valuation | AI capital expenditures are expected to moderate due to structural constraints including power availability, skilled labor shortages, and capital availability. Hyperscaler CapEx spending has reached historically high proportions of revenues and operating cash flows. The most attractive long-term AI opportunities reside with businesses building long-term value rather than companies exposed to cyclical swings. 2025 was characterized by extreme momentum dynamics with capital flowing into immediate winners while perceived losers saw unprecedented pressure. Market leadership concentrated in lower-quality, speculative, and cyclically sensitive stocks. The momentum trade has been exceptionally profitable short-term but timing the inevitable reversal remains challenging. Quality growth companies with stable fundamentals have seen relative valuations plummet to lowest levels in decades while cyclicals trade at historically high levels. The portfolio focuses on reliable and durable growth companies with lower variability that continue to compound earnings and cash flows attractively despite not being rewarded by the market currently. Semiconductor and AI capital equipment stocks were among market darlings, buoyed by massive AI infrastructure spending. However, purely cyclical sectors exposed to hyperscaler CapEx growth rates will have a shorter runway of growth left as further upward growth revisions become challenging. | ALC YUM IT META MSFT ARM AVGO CRM COO GOOG |

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 |

AI is already delivering value through software development productivity improvements, customer service cost savings, and emerging applications like Tesla Robotaxis and AI-powered commerce. SpaceX is generating significant value through rapid expansion of Starlink broadband service and establishing itself as a leading launch provider with reusable technology. The company is making tremendous progress on Starship, the largest most powerful rocket ever flown, representing a significant leap forward in space exploration capabilities. Eli Lilly's portfolio of Mounjaro/Zepbound GLP-1/GIP drugs are important treatments for diabetic and non-diabetic obese patients. This drug class should become the standard of care for both diabetes and obesity and grow to at least a $150 billion category. The market is in early innings of uptake with adoption driving Lilly to nearly double revenues by 2030. Microsoft has built a $135 billion run-rate cloud business including Azure cloud infrastructure and Office 365 applications. The company remains well positioned across overlapping software, cloud computing, and AI landscapes with its vertically integrated technology stack and broad sales distribution, driving durable long-term double-digit growth. NVIDIA has been more than a 10-bagger for the Fund, with Baron being early investors over four years before the ChatGPT moment. Broadcom has been a 2.5-bagger resulting from explosive growth not multiple expansion. These investments represent successful positioning in the infrastructure layer of AI computing. Spotify continues to demonstrate double-digit user growth and industry-leading engagement levels with evident pricing power as customer retention held despite recent price hikes.

Current large language models suffer from hallucinations but are likely just an opening phase. If AI advances in biotechnology, materials, and energy, the future could be very interesting. The U.S. stock market has been in bubble territory for a prolonged period, defined as a two-standard deviation divergence above long-term real price trend. Unlike every bubble before it, this one has yet to fully deflate despite classic signs of a historic bubble top. Hyperscalers spent nearly $300 billion on capital expenditures in 2025, with AI investment accounting for 1.3% of U.S. GDP. Cumulative spending on U.S. data centers is estimated to reach $3-5 trillion by 2029-2030, representing massive overcommitment of capital. Nvidia is currently the world's most valuable company, exceeding the entire Japanese stock market. The AI boom has created unprecedented demand for chips, with companies stretching depreciation schedules despite ongoing technological progress that should shorten useful chip lives. There has been a surge in aggressive speculative behavior with commission-free trading, plentiful margin loans, and leveraged ETFs. Zero-day options now make up over 60% of all S&P 500 options, alongside the GameStop meme stock craze and cryptocurrency rise. By every historically effective valuation metric, U.S. equities are extremely overpriced. The CAPE of 40 is above any level seen outside the internet bubble peak, with the market cap to GDP ratio at all-time highs and record proportions trading at over 10 times sales. | HUBS |

The focus is shifting from building computational backbone to realizing value through software and application layers. AI agents are creating concerns about disrupting legacy software applications, but incumbents can embed agents into existing systems to leverage proprietary data and customer relationships. The AI build-out is causing extremely tight supply for memory chips, benefiting companies like Micron that supply memory chips and equipment manufacturers like Lam Research and KLA that manufacture wafer equipment needed to expand the supply chain. The semiconductor complex is expected to remain fundamentally strong with potential for further acceleration in specific verticals. Software sector demonstrated resilient but normalizing revenue growth with highly bifurcated results. High-growth leaders maintained 25-30% growth while enterprise stalwarts sustained low-20% growth. Software valuations faced pressure due to fears that AI agents might disrupt legacy feature-heavy applications, creating a selective opportunity to own high-quality firms at a discount. Hyperscalers have aggressively financed massive deployments of GPUs and data center capacity using robust internal cash flows. Energy availability is becoming the constraining factor on datacenter growth, and the nature of AI investment is evolving toward more complex financing structures including alternative financing and circular financing arrangements. | View | |

The market continued to distinguish between AI-enablers where demand remained strong and more cyclical parts of the chip complex, reinforcing the durability of the infrastructure buildout theme. Semiconductors exposed to AI maintained strength as semiconductor capital spending remained supported by AI-driven demand for advanced chips. Defense spending stayed elevated amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, supporting backlog strength and long-cycle earnings durability for aerospace and defense companies. RTX and Howmet extended gains as commercial aerospace demand remained strong and defense spending supported long-cycle revenue visibility through backlogs. Precious metals experienced renewed volatility during the quarter, with gold and silver weakening sharply into the end of October after an extended run higher. The pullback created opportunity as the manager re-engaged at lower levels when the market stabilized and the broader macro backdrop remained supportive for hard assets. Gold miners delivered strong returns throughout the year despite some weakness in final days of December. Copper prices surged into year-end amid rising demand tied to electrification, infrastructure, and data-center buildouts, alongside persistent supply constraints. This supported miners levered to the copper theme, with materials exposure contributing positively through companies like Hudbay Minerals and Rio Tinto benefiting from strength in copper and base metals. The portfolio benefited from exposure to global power demand themes, with Caterpillar continuing to benefit from robust demand in its energy & transportation business increasingly tied to expanding global power needs, particularly the build-out of AI data centers requiring reliable on-site generation capacity. Nuclear energy remained supported by structural tailwinds including rising global demand for reliable baseload power. Financials added to returns with banks demonstrating strong earnings power and shareholder return capacity. Morgan Stanley benefited from a supportive backdrop for capital markets activity and wealth management momentum, while Canadian banks continued to demonstrate resilient profitability and capital strength supporting shareholder return expectations. | TVE CN LRCX CAT |

FANUC exemplifies this trend as a global leader in factory robots and CNC systems that support re-shoring and friend-shoring while maintaining productivity. The company's technology underpins manufacturing across automotive, electronics, semiconductors, and precision machinery with systems that remain in place for decades. Materials have re-emerged as strategically important rather than purely cyclical as supply chains are re-engineered and infrastructure investment accelerates. Holdings like Pan American Silver and Southern Copper provide exposure to precious metals and copper demand driven by electrification, grid expansion, electric vehicles, and data-centre infrastructure. Supply growth remains constrained by long development timelines while demand continues rising. AI-related stocks remained a key market driver with companies most directly tied to AI infrastructure and monetization delivering the strongest results. The Magnificent Seven continued to dominate markets, accounting for roughly half of the S&P 500's total return. Capital investment remained elevated with spending concentrated in data centres, semiconductors, energy infrastructure, and automation. Governments and corporations are prioritizing re-shoring and friend-shoring, placing greater emphasis on supply-chain resilience across technology, manufacturing, energy infrastructure, and critical minerals. Rather than reversing globalization, supply chains are being re-engineered around strategic alignment and political reliability. This shift is influencing how and where capital is deployed globally. The transition toward renewable energy and electrification continues to drive investment in grid expansion, energy storage, and power infrastructure. Holdings like GE Vernova benefit from rising power and infrastructure demands tied to AI and electrification. Energy has become a strategic asset to fuel the growth of AI and support industrial competitiveness through low, stable energy costs. | View | |

Fonterra struck an agreement to sell its consumer-facing businesses to dairy powerhouse Lactalis. As the world's middle class grows, consumers will demand both more and better-quality foods and ingredients. Swiss Alpine Railways investors took notice of strong earnings from Jungfraubahn AG and BVZ Holding AG, each of which owns a collection of impossible to duplicate transportation and tourism infrastructure in the Alps. American shipbuilders benefit from higher spending on vessels and naval systems for national security reasons. There is a growing realization that artificial intelligence can reproduce the functions of a meaningful portion of the software offered by today's dominant software companies at a small fraction of the cost. Software franchises may eventually turn out to be just another commodity. AI capabilities will only improve.

However, they express concern that markets have already discounted much future AI-driven growth, with $9-$12 trillion of post-2022 market cap gains unexplained by fundamentals. The aggressive AI spending has materially slowed free cash flow and earnings growth for hyperscalers. The strategy focuses heavily on dividend-paying stocks, with a large dividend contribution of 4.1% and total yield of 7.2% for the year. The manager notes that defensive and dividend-oriented sectors are now at multi-decade lows in index weight and investor interest, trading at unusually attractive relative valuations. They believe equity income is becoming increasingly competitive as money market yields decline from their peaks. The manager emphasizes that Value stocks are positioned for outperformance, noting the Growth-to-Value valuation spread is near historical extremes at nearly 100% premium versus the long-term average of 57%. They highlight extreme underweight positioning, elevated valuations in growth, and historically favorable mean-reversion dynamics as creating a compelling setup for value stocks to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns. The Federal Reserve cut rates twice in Q4 to the current range of 3.50% to 3.75%, following a September cut. The manager views the Fed's easing cycle positively for high-dividend stocks, as declining short-term rates should make equity dividend yields increasingly attractive compared to money market funds. They note nearly $8 trillion is currently invested in money market funds with yields falling from peaks above 5% to 3.7%. The manager expresses concern about elevated risk appetite and speculative excess, noting that leveraged ETFs now represent roughly 1% of total ETF assets but account for over 12% of trading volume. They highlight that retail investors now account for roughly 25% of total trading volume, more than twice the long-term average, which has historically served as a signpost of market excess and potential tops. | NSC JPM KVUE UNP UNH QCOM |

Alphabet's AI chatbot Gemini exceeded expectations and was on par with leading AI models, contributing significantly to performance. The managers are comfortable missing out on highly speculative AI investments while focusing on long-term value. Banks had a strong year due to increased lending, reduced regulation, and moderately high interest rates. American Express cardholders continue spending with high payment rates, while the Platinum Card remains desirable despite competition. Credit and banking environment remained strong throughout the period. Off-price retailers TJX and Ross returned to form after struggling during post-Covid inflation, with strong stock performance. AutoZone faced challenges navigating tariff impacts on earnings, though the consolidated auto parts retail market historically passes through price increases. Consumer spending patterns showed resilience in certain segments. Housing investments had a weak year as high interest rates and hopes for lower rates left potential buyers on the sidelines. Home builders initially held up well when rates first rose in 2022, but continued high rates eventually impacted demand. The managers expect pent-up housing demand to eventually drive performance once the market unfreezes. | RVTY GOOG UNH |

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence may drive significant long-term productivity gains and provide a counterweight to softening employment conditions and inflationary pressures. Value stocks outperformed growth counterparts in Q4, with the Russell 3000 Value Index gaining 3.8% versus 1.1% for growth. The team sees intriguing investment opportunities in value-oriented stocks that are being largely ignored, creating an attractive backdrop for stock pickers. Strong demand for data centers has accelerated sales for companies like Eaton Corporation. The buildout of AI-associated data centers is driving increased demand and margin improvements for companies benefiting from this infrastructure spend. The need for upgraded electric grids has accelerated demand for Eaton's products. The process of electrification and grid investment should provide improvements in ROIC along with additional benefits from AI infrastructure spend. | ETN SEE |

Their investments in merchandising and distribution are key competitive advantages in a world of tariffs and potential inflation. The company's prospects are bright, especially if we do ever see a rise in unemployment, which tends to benefit discount stores. Healthcare stocks have broadly underperformed the market since the election of President Trump, due to a plethora of regulatory, pricing and tariff risks. However, the distribution model has proven its strong resilience, with companies having meaningfully reduced their dependence on drug pricing. They are in effect a toll road on the US healthcare system and the opposite of economic rent-seeking businesses. Covid, somewhat ironically given the cancellation of so many flights, impacted the industry positively, as around 10% of aircraft were withdrawn from the market due to bankruptcies. Moreover, post-Covid supply chain shocks at Boeing and Airbus mean that the fleet is not going to be replaced any time soon. Ryanair's cost advantage almost doubled from levels in 2019. Google would be best positioned in an AI world, given its vertically integrated model and its pedigree in AI. The AI revenue model is clearly highly uncertain and far from guaranteed, but the likely attributes of winners in this space are data, processing power and distribution. Google dominates all three. Investing in physical assets in a world with an infrastructure deficit, and the potential resurgence of inflation, is very appealing. The requirement for renewed infrastructure investment in Europe is in the early stages, and competition will remain low giving both Vinci and Eiffage a meaningful competitive advantage. Combining low valuations and high cash conversion, our companies will generate around a 7% of their market cap in free cash flow. We expect them to pay an average dividend of 2.6% and are committed to share buybacks of around the same level. This is a 5% annual tailwind to the portfolio's fundamental growth outlook over the coming years. | ICE JPM GOOGL RYAAY RPRX MCK AZO DLTR |

They regularly search the 52-week low list for potential opportunities rather than momentum plays. The managers believe the investment community is casting its gaze away from various market constituents that offer asymmetric risk-reward for those willing to look forward three to five years. The fund is actively investing in global securities with lower market capitalizations, believing these offer attractive opportunities that are being overlooked. They note there may be a shrinking pool of active investors with the interest and resources to conduct in-depth research on lower market-cap names. Source has 25.9% committed to private credit including called and uncalled capital as of quarter-end. The managers continue to look for opportunities to increase that exposure, viewing private credit as an attractive asset class for the fund's balanced strategy. The fund is responding to historically low credit spreads by reducing exposure to high yield and other lower-rated debt.

The manager believes the current AI investment cycle is different from the dot.com bubble because we don't have enough compute capacity to meet today's needs, driven by three mega-trends: transition from CPU to GPU dominated data centers, replacement of recommender systems with AI-driven systems, and future robotics and digital agents. Companies are spending hundreds of billions of dollars per year to build massive data centers capable of delivering enormous compute power. The infrastructure buildout of massive amounts of compute power needed to drive the next generation of AI applications is viewed as the most secure part of the AI food chain. The manager maintains continued investment in Nvidia and ASML and has made a relatively new investment in Micron, viewing the infrastructure buildout as the most secure part of the AI food chain. GPU dominated servers are replacing CPU servers for cheaper running of traditional workloads. The enterprise software sector faces heightened uncertainty due to the threat of AI disintermediation. The manager consolidated investments into platform companies Service Now and Salesforce while exiting Adobe, believing platforms that connect workflows across organizations are less at risk than best-of-breed apps. 2025 saw the global trade order re-written through executive orders and tweets, with tariffs being a central topic. The manager expects tariffs could remain a central topic in early 2026 depending on upcoming Supreme Court rulings on the legality of Trump tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. | View | |

The manager views AI as creating opportunities through the Jevons paradox, where lower content creation costs increase demand for editing tools like Adobe. PAR Technology is positioned as an AI beneficiary through its unified platform strategy enabling Coach AI functionality. ASML is highlighted as a monopoly in the semiconductor industry during an AI boom. The manager outlined bear case arguments and explained why they were misguided, with the stock appreciating from €600 to over €900 per share in a quarter as other investors agreed with their thesis. The fund holds multiple software positions including PAR Technology, Adobe, and others. PAR is viewed as benefiting from restaurant technology consolidation, with potential McDonald's partnership validation. Adobe is seen as an AI beneficiary rather than victim, trading at 15x earnings despite double-digit revenue growth. PAR Technology represents a play on restaurant technology consolidation, with potential tier-1 client wins including McDonald's. The manager believes even large tech-forward restaurants are realizing POS software is too complex to maintain internally, favoring best-of-breed vendors like PAR with unified platform strategies. Floor & Decor represents a category killer business model in hard surface flooring with 75,000 square foot warehouse stores carrying 2,350+ SKUs versus 630-680 at competitors. The company has grown comparable store sales at 11% annually over 14 years, with strong unit economics and store rollout potential to 500 locations. The manager extensively analyzes mortgage rate dynamics affecting Floor & Decor's housing-dependent business. They expect mortgage spread normalization from current 300+ basis points back toward historical 168 basis point average, potentially reducing rates to 5.5-6.0% range and unlocking housing transaction velocity. | FND 215A JP BCG LN ADBE PAR ASML NA |

The quarter saw massive AI-related IG issuance of $90 billion with expectations of $50 billion more in Q1. The fund expects AI to drive continued massive capital needs with OpenAI alone requiring ~$600 billion through 2029. The fund had significant losses in distressed investments, particularly First Brands (a fraudulent auto parts company) and Eye Care Partners. The manager acknowledges mistakes in underwriting management quality and position sizing. Despite setbacks, they see future opportunities in sectors facing productivity-driven disruption. The fund expects increased capital solutions opportunities as PE-backed companies face refinancing challenges from higher rates. They participated in several rescue financings and expect more zombified PE companies to need capital solutions in various structures from prefs to hybrid equity. The fund invested in EchoStar's spectrum assets which became valuable for AI inference and wireless carriers. They also have exposure to LNG through Delfin, positioning for the coming oversupply period. Power demand from AI datacenters is driving infrastructure investment opportunities.

Unlike the internet boom, AI requires massive capital investment with datacentres subject to rapid obsolescence. The relentless innovation could make current cutting-edge technology obsolete within years, making satisfactory returns challenging. Private equity and debt markets face significant challenges with funds struggling to exit investments at elevated prices. The industry has taken more companies into funds than can be sold into public markets, creating a major logjam. Rising interest rates and overinvestment have caused pressure to reduce prices, potentially forcing substantial losses. Hard assets offer protection against monetary inflation as governments attempt to print their way out of decline. Construction of datacentres and infrastructure in booming countries require commodities when mines have suffered from underinvestment. Competition between China and the US for strategic metals underpins the outlook for these resources. The oil market has been in three-year consolidation due to subdued growth and large OPEC supply increases. Lower prices damage future supply as producers pull back on new capacity spending. OPEC's spare capacity is limited, and while the world isn't running out of oil, it's running out of oil producible below $60. The biotech sector offers exceptional long-term performance potential despite poor performance in the 2020s. AI is reducing costs and speeding up product development, while new technologies and cost declines are unleashing a wave of new treatments. This combination can underpin a new cycle in a huge market. | View | |

The managers acknowledge underestimating AI spending magnitude and are repositioning with purchases of Broadcom, Marvell Technology, Datadog and Oracle while exiting lower-conviction AI plays. Cloud infrastructure remains central to AI deployment with data center operators like Equinix positioned as later-stage beneficiaries. Oracle's cloud business represents significant upside potential despite current market skepticism, with the company having a large backlog of signed contracts and generating free cash flow. Semiconductor exposure through Nvidia has been a top holding since 2018, with additional positioning in Broadcom for custom silicon chips and Marvell Technology. The managers regret not scaling positions more aggressively in semiconductor beneficiaries during the AI-driven rally. Healthcare positioning was repositioned with purchases of high-quality biotechnology company Vertex Pharmaceuticals, which was a leading contributor in Q4.

The AI trade broadened beyond chips to include data center companies, with three of the S&P 500's top 10 performers being data storage companies. Investment in AI infrastructure is reaching unprecedented levels with trillions in spending, though questions remain about whether revenue can justify the massive capital deployment. President Trump's hardline tariff agenda became one of the most consequential stories of 2025, lifting average tariff rates to nearly 17% from less than 3% at the end of 2024. The tariffs generated roughly $30 billion monthly for the US Treasury and brought world leaders to Washington seeking trade deals. Despite multiple rounds of meetings, a final agreement with China remains incomplete, with China using its leverage in rare earth minerals to push back against further tariffs. Safe-haven gold gained 65% in 2025, its best annual gain since 1979, driven by geopolitical uncertainties, expectations of US rate cuts, strong central bank buying, and the de-dollarisation trend.

The race is for AGI, with wealth accruing to whoever reaches it first. Big Tech's AI spending accounts for roughly 90% of corporate capex and contributes an estimated half of total U.S. GDP growth in 2025. TSMC represents a durable bottleneck in the infrastructure layer—the point of least slack in the global silicon supply chain. All roads lead to TSMC, with approximately 67% share of global foundry revenue and roughly 90% share of leading-edge nodes. Alphabet's cloud business made meaningful progress with revenue expected to reach approximately $57 billion (+32% YoY), while operating profit is projected to nearly double. Revenue backlog is growing faster than reported revenue, underscoring the persistent supply-demand imbalance. By designing proprietary silicon and committing to capital outlays for data centers on a financial scale attainable by only a handful of nation-states, these firms have constructed a physical moat that is, for all practical purposes, unreplicable.

The worldwide adoption of GenAI is already at 15-20% with projected growth rates for 2026-2027 almost doubling these rates. Major hyperscalers are expected to increase their capex to around $500bn in 2026, over three times their pre-ChatGPT levels. Global Data Centers currently use 1.5% to 3% of all total global electricity usage, with 5% to 15% consumed by AI workloads. The enormous demand for AI equipment results in ever-growing demand for energy, creating infrastructure challenges for projected growth rates ahead. Energy costs face upward pressure due to AI infrastructure demands, with 80% of all energy production being hydrocarbon generated. The growth rate in non-hydrocarbon energy is not fast enough, and refining capacity cannot keep up with demand. Energy inflation could feed back into services inflation if it picks up sufficiently. Services inflation has become sticky with key items such as food running at alarmingly high levels. The multi-variate nature of current inflation is different this time, with energy costs unable to sink much lower and potential feedback loops between energy and services inflation creating structural concerns. Markets are watching for equilibrium between full employment and stable inflation to determine R* (neutral rate). The front-end of the yield curve remains suppressed by easing expectations, but the long-end remains anchored to pre-covid norms inconsistent with higher debt and higher R*.

The company announced plans to split into two entities and received multiple takeover bids, with Netflix ultimately winning the bidding war. The market fears AI will disrupt vertical market software by eliminating switching costs and seat-based pricing. However, AI agents will likely increase demand for systems of record and control point software rather than replace them, as enterprises need guardrails for non-deterministic AI outputs. Constellation Software and Topicus represent the core thesis of acquiring mission-critical vertical market software businesses with high switching costs, recurring revenue, and defensive moats. These businesses serve niche markets where switching is painful and alternatives offer minimal benefits.

He argues that we cannot be in an AI bubble when defensive stocks trade at higher multiples than leading AI companies. The discussion emphasizes that AI-driven demand is creating structural changes in memory and semiconductor markets. Memory semiconductors are highlighted as no longer being a commodity business driven by PC cycles, but rather a strategic input for AI, cloud infrastructure, and data-intensive workloads. The supply side has consolidated with fewer rational players, higher capital intensity, and better pricing discipline. Micron is positioned to benefit from AI-driven demand and improved industry structure. The manager emphasizes owning high-quality U.S. businesses that compound intrinsic value over time. He argues that obvious, high-quality businesses are not a failure of imagination but recognition of reality, as the modern internet economy rewards scale and dominant positions. Quality businesses can deliver asymmetric returns through duration of dominance. Valuation discipline is emphasized as critical to long-term success, with the manager noting that overpaying can cause long-term returns to go sideways. The portfolio deliberately avoided chasing narrow market leadership at elevated valuations, accepting short-term underperformance to preserve long-term risk-adjusted outcomes.

The U.S. stock market has been in bubble territory for a prolonged period, defined as a two-standard deviation divergence above long-term real price trend. Unlike every bubble before it, this one has yet to fully deflate despite classic signs of a historic bubble top. Hyperscalers spent nearly $300 billion on capital expenditures in 2025, with AI investment accounting for 1.3% of U.S. GDP. Cumulative spending on U.S. data centers is estimated to reach $3-5 trillion by 2029-2030, representing massive overcommitment of capital. Nvidia is currently the world's most valuable company, exceeding the entire Japanese stock market. The AI boom has created unprecedented demand for chips, with companies stretching depreciation schedules despite ongoing technological progress that should shorten useful chip lives. There has been a surge in aggressive speculative behavior with commission-free trading, plentiful margin loans, and leveraged ETFs. Zero-day options now make up over 60% of all S&P 500 options, alongside the GameStop meme stock craze and cryptocurrency rise.

AI investment is driving 30% of GDP growth but faces risks from over-investment with 95% of organizations getting zero return on AI investments currently. S&P 500 trades at 22 times forward earnings, matching Internet bubble levels and 1.5 standard deviations above 30-year average. Elevated valuations reflect low interest rates and optimistic 12.1% earnings growth expectations for 2026.

The price rally has aligned gold with its 50-year geometric average relative to US public debt and brought it closer to its geometric average versus the S&P 500. The fund continues to highly value gold's strategic hedge potential given current fiscal and geopolitical dynamics. Massive spending on AI infrastructure buildout has been a chief tailwind supporting economic and equity market growth. Spending on semiconductor fabrication and data centers has accounted for 0.4% of GDP growth annually since 2022. However, hyperscaler capex as a percentage of cash flow has grown from 20% in 2015 to 70% today, making the current rate of growth unsustainable absent other financing sources. Geopolitical tensions ratcheted up with US military action in Venezuela to remove President Maduro, reflecting broader disequilibrium in the global order. The emergence of the Eurasian heartland with authoritarian powers growing increasingly aligned has increased the possibility of destabilizing left-tail events across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. The fund focuses on building portfolio resilience through equities offering ballast through their lower risk character. This is achieved by evaluating stocks from the bottom up for attributes contributing to low correlations with the broader market, including strong balance sheets, high margins, diverse product lineups, long-lived assets, and contractually obligated revenues. | BA LN BABA META ORCL CHRW 005930 KS GOOG |

They believe active managers can be selective at the security level and maintain rational diversification, contrasting with passive indexes where weightings are determined by share price momentum. The fund was opportunistic in healthcare throughout 2025, investing decisively in managed care insurers when operating costs surged unexpectedly. They believe these businesses traded at low multiples on depressed earnings with good recovery potential, as small margin improvements can translate into large percentage increases in earnings power. Holdings span social media, online search, cloud computing and e-commerce including select Magnificent 7 positions. They also own semiconductor companies at reasonable valuations, including picks and shovels businesses like Applied Materials with strong competitive positions and long track records of value creation. The portfolio looks different from major passive indexes in financials. Capital One Financial is a core holding with strong consumer finance, deposit-rich banking, and payment processing capabilities. It trades at only 13-14 times forward earnings despite attractive economics and is the fifth-largest holder of AI-related patents among major US companies.

Only two of the Mag7 outperformed in 2025, and the market is now more discerning about how AI investments will translate into financial returns. Increased debt financing for AI capex creates vulnerability to credit tightening. The fourth quarter saw a reversal in the growth versus value trade, with traditional value sectors like Healthcare and Financials performing well while Mag7 largely lagged. The fund's quality bias and valuation sensitivity were out of step with a market prioritizing higher-beta momentum stocks. Value stocks offer attractive return potential going forward. Small cap stocks trailed larger cap counterparts for the year despite posting respectable 12.8% gains. Companies with negative income outperformed by wide margins in 2025, creating challenges for quality-focused strategies. The market environment paralleled 2021's speculative period with little regard for valuation or earnings. Corporate bankruptcies spiked in 2025, highlighting growing financial pressure amid elevated borrowing costs. Middle and lower income consumers are increasingly stretched with high credit card balances and subprime auto loan delinquencies at highest levels since 2008.

Software platforms are aggressively introducing AI functionality either through internal development or APIs. The range of outcomes has widened but there is a compelling bull case where AI leads to reduced churn, new revenue streams, and accelerated operating margin expansion. Cloud software companies saw valuations decline in 2025 as the market feared AI displacement, but NZS sees opportunity in systems of record and vertical market software. These companies have attractive fundamentals including sticky revenue streams, high margins, and mission-critical positioning. The portfolio's software positioning remains focused on systems of record and vertical market software which have the best chance of adapting to AI. Semiconductor names like Lam Research, Taiwan Semiconductor, and ASML were among the top contributors for the full year.

The quarter saw volatility around AI capital expenditure concerns and whether spending had ramped too fast, but fundamentals remained intact with continued demand for AI data centers and power solutions. Semiconductor equipment demand remained steady and recovered strongly following April volatility around global tariffs. Companies focused on reallocating production across geographic locations to adjust for potential tariff impacts. Memory and storage pricing improved following the 2022-2023 down cycle, with NAND/DRAM markets tightening on AI data demand. Power shortage overhangs new AI data center builds globally, creating demand for alternative energy solutions. Bloom Energy's fuel cells provide solutions that can plug into natural gas lines and ramp up power delivery quicker than traditional providers, addressing the largest constraint on AI development according to NVIDIA's CEO. High-bandwidth memory and AI chips are fueling significant investments and demand for advanced storage solutions. Western Digital benefited from increased purchase orders from major hyperscalers extending into 2026 and 2027, driven by AI infrastructure demand for high-capacity hard disk drives. Cybersecurity consistently remains a top priority for CIO budgets as non-technology companies continue increasing AI solution usage in daily operations. However, increased regulatory scrutiny on data privacy, AI ethics and antitrust could create headwinds as companies seek more security solutions amid AI adoption. | AMAT TER WDC BE LRCX NVDA |

AI adoption is proceeding rapidly with productivity gains helping offset wage pressures and containing inflation. The technology is displacing many jobs while reducing business costs, creating an almost ideal environment for stock prices. The capture of Nicolás Maduro represents a dramatic change in U.S. foreign policies under the Monroe-Trump Doctrine. This signals a more assertive approach to countering hostile regimes in the Western Hemisphere, with implications for Cuba, Iran, and China's strategic positioning in Latin America. Venezuela's leadership change may lower global oil prices and benefit energy companies and oilfield service providers. Oil prices are likely to decline further with positive economic consequences globally, boosting real household income and helping reduce inflation measures. Inflation has moderated meaningfully from its 2022 peak and while it remains above the Fed's target, pressures are expected to ease further into 2026. AI-driven productivity gains may help offset wage pressures, keeping inflation and interest rates relatively contained. | View | |

The firm has researched India's defense and aerospace industries extensively, understanding the broader ecosystem from state-controlled behemoths to private-sector suppliers specializing in aerostructures and precision-engineered components. This research forms the basis for selecting ten Indian defense/aerospace companies currently held in the portfolio. India's economy continues to power ahead with 8.2% GDP growth despite U.S. tariffs, driven by booming domestic consumption, prudent macroeconomic governance, and favorable demographics. The Modi government has enacted transformative pro-free market policies including GST streamlining, labor law overhaul, and securities market modernization. Technology titans like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have unveiled over $67 billion in planned investments, while Intel announced strategic alliance with Tata Electronics for semiconductor fabrication. Gymkhana is now more allocated to smaller-capitalization companies and less to larger-cap stocks compared to a year ago. The firm believes their portfolio of well-managed, earnings-compounding smaller-cap businesses purchased at reasonable multiples is more likely to generate superior long-term results than portfolios concentrated in large-capitalization stocks. Most India-dedicated ETFs and mutual funds are over-concentrated in IT services and petroleum behemoths that are less tied to India's booming domestic market. Gymkhana's businesses sell at very significant discounts to their intrinsic values, with a position size-weighted P/E ratio of just over 15 times forward earnings. This represents a significant discount to every U.S. and Indian equity index mentioned, even though the portfolio companies' earnings are growing at faster rates.

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 |

The manager expects a widening gap between pure AI infrastructure companies and those with diversified business models. Market rotation is expected away from speculative AI growth toward more traditional businesses. Share repurchases feature prominently across the portfolio as a signal of management confidence and value creation amplification. Multiple holdings have authorized significant buyback programs, including TDW ($500M), VAL ($600M ongoing), STZ ($4B), and others totaling billions in authorized repurchases. Rivian represents maybe the most exciting position in the portfolio, with the company developing its own autonomy platform and in-house chip (RAP1). The R2 model represents a pivotal moment, and partnerships with Volkswagen and Amazon have strengthened the balance sheet while expanding strategic options. The manager focuses on separating durable value from speculative excess, building positions in under-owned, under-valued businesses with strong balance sheets and leadership positions.

Capital spending and R&D consume greater share of sales for largest AI providers than drug stocks. Manager reduced exposure to AI-related companies over the last year due to concerns about future return on AI investment. After four decades of declining interest rates and ten years of very low inflation, both rates and inflation have returned to long-term norms. This marks a notable shift in the global investment landscape that has not yet been reflected in most investors' portfolio positioning. As the global labor force ages and need for supply-chain redundancies becomes more acute, companies increasingly seek ways to do more with fewer people. Automation technologies have matured and reached an inflection point, now offering attractive returns on investment across many industries.

The manager maintains a positive view on dividend-paying stocks as an out-of-favor segment largely devoid of speculative activity. The market remained supported by ongoing enthusiasm about the artificial intelligence theme, though there was a brief stretch of concern in November about a possible AI bubble. The manager sees potential for improved relative performance if excitement surrounding AI begins to cool. The quarter was characterized by broadening market leadership away from mega-cap technology companies, contributing to relative strength in the value style. The fund's investment universe offers fundamentally sound companies trading with attractive yields and reasonable valuations.

This technological singularity is expected to cause dramatic changes beyond typical generational disruptions. The fund focuses on identifying companies with sustainable competitive advantages in this transformative environment. SpaceX has revolutionized space travel with reusable rockets and dominates launch services, carrying over 500,000kg of spacecraft mass in Q3 2025 alone. The company is uniquely positioned for emerging opportunities in interplanetary logistics, in-orbit data centers, and asteroid mining. EchoStar provides indirect exposure to SpaceX through strategic transactions at attractive valuations. Starlink has achieved significant scale with millions of active customers and is expanding into direct-to-cell services for smartphones. The satellite internet constellation aims to deliver high-speed, low-latency broadband globally, particularly to underserved areas. This represents a major growth opportunity in telecommunications infrastructure. EchoStar's transformation involved monetizing valuable spectrum licenses worth billions, resolving regulatory issues with the FCC. The company sold spectrum to AT&T and SpaceX for over $40 billion combined, demonstrating the significant value of these invisible wireless highways. Remaining spectrum assets provide additional monetization opportunities. The fund holds luxury brands like Kering, Swatch Group, and spirits companies as AI-proof investments. These companies with strong brand moats and pricing power are expected to endure and potentially thrive despite AI disruption. Their business models are considered resilient to technological changes affecting other industries. | SATS |

They see a clear structural shift toward defense after years of underinvestment, with visible growth stretching years into the future through strong orders, high backlogs, and political will to invest in national security. Banks were leading sector contributors with strong performance from Standard Chartered and Citigroup. Standard Chartered benefits from wealth management platform growth and cross-border services, while Citigroup's transformation strategy is paying off with improved deal activity and better regulatory environment expected in 2026. The manager re-entered Vertiv given the long-term secular data center infrastructure story and strong fundamentals. They reference approximately 100GW of incremental data-center capacity additions from 2024-2029, representing meaningful revenue upside for companies with global presence in thermal and electrical equipment. The manager initiated a position in Cameco, citing structural shifts away from Russian uranium sourcing and reinvigorated nuclear development due to AI energy needs and low carbon merits. Westinghouse's agreement with the US Department of Commerce to support at least $80bn of new reactor construction materially increases earnings power. Estée Lauder drove Consumer Staples performance as the company progresses through its turnaround with outperformance in sales, margins, China, US and Travel Retail.

Google Cloud processes 1.3 quadrillion AI tokens per month, more than double from just a few quarters ago. Meta has been using AI tools for over a decade to manage their massive network, with their Andromeda machine learning system automatically retrieving and ranking tens of millions of potential ads based on user preferences. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing continues to execute flawlessly on leading-edge node progression and capacity build-out, enabling the AI era by manufacturing nearly every compute accelerator including GPUs. The company's advanced nodes allow accelerator designers greater flexibility to increase performance while limiting power requirements in an increasingly power-constrained compute infrastructure industry. Google Cloud segment revenue and backlog growth accelerated, driven by AI workloads. Amazon's AWS has fostered some of the largest businesses in the world over the past 20 years, with revenue growth accelerating to over 20% as the company deployed almost 4 gigawatts of capacity for AI-workloads over the past 12 months. The manager expresses significant concern about excessive market valuations, noting that more than 30% of US market capitalization now trades above 10x sales, reminiscent of the tech bubble. The crowded AI trade and historically rich valuations are described as haunting prudent investing, with even most non-Magnificent Seven stocks failing to offer bargains. The manager has trafficked in quality stocks for more than 33 years, an approach that has served clients well since 1992 but did not work in 2025.

Technology-related stocks dominated the top 10 performers, though concentration in large tech companies may face challenges as the economy evolves and other market areas become attractive. Earnings growth becomes increasingly important as stocks trade at higher valuations. Analyst expectations are for S&P 500 earnings to grow 15.6% in 2026, following 13.3% growth in 2025 and 12.1% in 2024. Strong earnings growth could drive positive stock returns despite elevated P/E multiples. The U.S. Dollar declined about 10% in 2025, contributing approximately one-third of international returns for U.S. investors. Dollar weakness could persist in 2026 due to budget deficits requiring more debt issuance and a dovish Federal Reserve policy stance. | View | |

The manager sees AI driving demand for semiconductor tools and custom chips, positioning companies like Applied Materials, ASML, and Broadcom to benefit from the infrastructure buildout. Semiconductor companies were top performers with Applied Materials up 59.6% and ASML up 55.8%. The manager emphasizes the bright prospects for chip design tools given silicon requirements for AI deployment, while also initiating Broadcom for its custom chip capabilities serving cloud hyperscalers. Trump announced the highest tariffs since the 1930s, with effective rates settling around 17% after negotiations. This triggered initial market corrections but companies adapted by flexing supply chains, with macroeconomic consequences remaining benign on inflation and GDP fronts. China had a strong year with the Hang Seng up 32% as investors warmed to signals that regulatory tightening was over. Chinese tech companies demonstrated ability to deploy AI efficiently at lower costs despite GPU restrictions, while valuations became attractive after years of consolidation. The manager focuses on high-quality compounders trading at discounts after being left out of the AI rally. They target companies generating strong free cash flow with high ROIC that can redeploy capital effectively, finding opportunities in unloved sectors and geographies like Swiss stocks at multi-year valuation lows. | View | |

The manager believes we may be nearing a Barnes & Noble moment where widespread business adoption accelerates, similar to internet adoption after 1995. They maintain strategic positioning in AI infrastructure companies with strong moats. Semiconductor equipment holdings drove strong Q4 performance, benefiting from improving industry outlooks and attractive valuations. The manager reduced underweight in Nvidia while favoring Broadcom's ASIC strategy, expecting custom silicon to gain market share in AI data centers. Following extensive research including a field trip, the manager re-entered Chinese technology and e-commerce through Alibaba and Tencent. They believe the regulatory environment has shifted from crackdown to active support, creating opportunities to buy excellent businesses at compelling valuations despite ongoing geopolitical tensions. Cloud infrastructure remains critical to AI deployment with companies like Alibaba holding 30% of China's cloud market and integrating AI capabilities. The manager sees cloud as essential infrastructure for the AI ecosystem with substantial growth runway as penetration remains below Western markets. The manager added back to Fortinet following 40% underperformance, seeing the company positioned to benefit from secular tailwinds in cybersecurity and vendor consolidation. Strong customer switching costs and network effects support continuous market share gains despite recent volatility. | View | |

He compares the current AI race to a prisoner's dilemma where companies must invest aggressively to avoid being left behind, even at the risk of capital destruction. Private AI companies are raising capital at unprecedented valuations without products or disclosed business plans. The manager highlights how passive investing has reached nearly 65% of US equity assets, contributing to market distortions including reduced liquidity, increased volatility, and further concentration in mega-cap stocks. US equity index funds attracted around $650 billion in 2025 while actively managed funds saw record outflows approaching $1 trillion. The manager emphasizes their value investing approach, seeking companies that are temporarily undervalued due to setbacks or negative sentiment. He illustrates this with examples like AerCap and Naspers, where the market failed to recognize underlying value, allowing for opportunistic investments with significant upside potential. The manager discusses rising inflation expectations reflected in elevated long-term government bond yields despite central bank rate cuts. He notes that precious metals experienced explosive rallies as investors sought protection against potential currency debasement and sovereign debt concerns. Gold posted gains of around 65% in 2025, with silver rising over 145% and platinum nearly 125%. The manager attributes these gains to growing perception of potential deterioration in financial solvency of major economies and the risk of persistent inflation as governments deal with rising structural debt levels. | TCEHY SDE CN PLX FP ZEG LN ZIG LN NPSNY AER |

The combination of industrial-scale spending, still-unproven economics, and higher valuations increases the risk that expectations get ahead of reality. Amphenol benefited from robust demand for AI-related interconnect products, which now account for over a third of its revenue. Gold remained well supported against the backdrop of easier global policy and unresolved geopolitical and trade risks. The firm narrowed their long-standing underweight to gold stocks in a measured way as geopolitical uncertainty, de-dollarization, fiscal indiscipline, central bank gold purchases, and falling interest rates created a more supportive backdrop. They focused on gold-related companies with differentiated, relatively lower-risk business models. Defense contractors such as the UK's BAE, Italy's Leonardo, and France's Thales experienced pullbacks in the fourth quarter on the possibility of a diplomatic breakthrough in the Russia-Ukraine war. However, geopolitical events early in the year helped defense company shares more-than-offset the declines seen in the fourth quarter. Kraken Robotics also benefited from increased government defence spending. High-bandwidth memory leader SK Hynix nearly doubled in the quarter thanks to explosive demand for its products. Other AI-linked semiconductor companies were rewarded for continued fundamental strength, such as TSMC and Kokusai Electric. European equities were supported by semiconductor stocks among other factors. | View | |

Hyperscalers are set to increase CapEx by 45% YoY in 2026, funded largely by cash flows rather than debt. AI adoption is accelerating productivity gains and transforming business operations across portfolio companies. Private credit continues to offer 200-250bps of excess return over leveraged loans with structural advantages including direct origination, matched funding, and conservative structures. The opportunity set is expanding beyond sponsor-backed lending into financing the real economy with an addressable market exceeding $30 trillion. Infrastructure is in a supercycle driven by AI investment and US reindustrialization, creating compelling investment opportunities. An estimated $106 trillion of global infrastructure investment is needed through 2040, with 75% concentrated in digital infrastructure, power generation, transportation, and renewables. Real estate appears to be in early stages of cyclical recovery after values troughed in 2023. Borrowing costs are now roughly 40% lower than peak levels, materially improving equity yields. Secular demand remains robust across data centers, logistics, and rental housing driven by AI, e-commerce, and demographic trends. US electricity generation is on track to grow over 40% cumulatively in the next 10 years driven by AI adoption, electrification, and expanding electric vehicle fleets.

Three businesses in the portfolio that fit this mold have committed to return capital to shareholders through buybacks or dividends. The fund believes these businesses could deliver higher returns going forward than the Magnificent 7 through buybacks. The fund is invested in a handful of metallurgical coal businesses, with two near the bottom quartile of the cost curve and all led by exceptional managers. All three businesses have some of the best met coal reserves on the planet. The fund believes there will be no meaningful alternative to using met coal to produce steel for several decades. The fund trades at a trailing P/E of 11 compared to the S&P 500's trailing P/E of 30. The fund seeks to buy capital-light businesses with high returns on equity at no more than a bit more than tangible book value. The fund believes a metallurgical coal miner or offshore oil driller that earns even single digit returns can be a fantastic investment if purchased at a fraction of replacement cost. TAV operates 15 airports in 8 countries with guidance of 10-14% annual passenger growth across its airports, which may continue for decades. TAV has high operating leverage where if passengers grow 12%, cash flow may grow at more than 2x that. The fund believes it is led by an exceptional management team and is very cheap compared to other global airport operators. The fund is invested in a couple of U.S. homebuilders who have morphed into asset-light, efficient factories with shrewd capital return policies. The U.S. is structurally underbuilt with a deficit of 4-7 million homes. The high-quality, scale homebuilders have unique advantages that could allow them to capture a growing portion of this growing pie. Traditional car dealerships are hated by the market due to concerns with the rise of electric vehicles and the perception that EVs do not carry the same parts and repair content as traditional ICE vehicles. The fund believes the market's concerns are overblown and not valid. These are great businesses with high-margin recurring revenues that will continue for decades. The fund has a position in U.S. offshore oil services. Offshore accounts for 1/3 of global oil and gas production and breaks even at levels far below fracking. Drillships are complex and expensive with no new supply in the pipeline. The fund believes supply-demand tightness can yield very high day rates for these ships. | TAVHL TI |

They argue that much of the business and financial benefit from AI will accrue to already-advantaged users of AI tools rather than providers, particularly businesses with customer intimacy, ecosystem dominance, and proprietary data. AI is viewed as the first technological shift to favor incumbents over new entrants. The manager emphasizes their focus on quality businesses with durable competitive advantages, strong balance sheets, excellent returns on capital, and high profitability. They note that quality has historically outperformed over time, citing the S&P 500 Quality Index's superior long-term returns versus the S&P 500. The current performance disparity between quality and growth reminds them of 1999. The fund converted from mutual fund to ETF structure in October 2025.

The AI chip rental market remains competitive with sticky pricing, suggesting the AI bubble has not yet burst. Survey data shows substantial increase in AI use among large American companies with 40% expecting additional AI use in 2026. Physical gold recorded new all-time highs during the quarter driven by geopolitical instability, currency debasement, and physical supply shortages. Central banks have been the marginal buyer, purchasing record amounts including 634 tonnes in the first three quarters of 2025. Gold ended 2025 with gains of 65%, its best calendar year in decades. Silver returned 54% in Q4 driven by a deepening structural deficit from exhaustion of above-ground inventories and absence of new production. Silver's transition to a strategic industrial asset for AI data centers, solar panels, and EVs created supply/demand mismatch. The US officially added silver to its Critical Minerals List, acknowledging its vital role in national security and energy transition. The Federal Reserve cut rates by 25 basis points but exposed deep fractures within the FOMC over prioritizing weakening jobs versus high inflation.

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 11, 2026 | Thornburg Global Opportunities Fund | 6.5% | 41.1% | 0027.HK, 005930.KS, 0700.HK, 300750.SZ, BABA, BIRG.L, BNP.PA, C, CACI, COF, FCX, GOOGL, LLY, META, NN.AS, ORA.PA, RELIANCE.NS, SAP.DE, SCHW, SHEL, T, TSCO.L, TSM, TTE | Digital Economy, financials, global, growth, semiconductors, technology, Trade Policy, value | The fund holds significant positions in semiconductor companies including Samsung Electronics, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, and Contemporary Amperex Technology. These technology firms were leading contributors to portfolio performance during Q4 2025, with the manager highlighting their role in the digital economy transformation. Financial intermediaries represent 20.5% of the portfolio, with the manager believing they should benefit from interest rates determined primarily by free market forces. Key holdings include Citigroup, Bank of Ireland, BNP Paribas, NN Group, Capital One, and Charles Schwab, which were significant contributors to Q4 performance. The portfolio includes major e-commerce platforms Alibaba Group, Tencent Holdings, and Meta Platforms, though these were among the most significant detractors from Q4 performance. The manager maintains exposure to firms tied to the digital economy despite recent underperformance. Energy investments comprise 6.9% of the portfolio, including positions in Shell PLC and Total Energies SE. The manager notes periodic fluctuation of investor confidence in industrial commodity sector businesses, with Total Energies contributing positively to Q4 performance. The manager explicitly discusses evolving U.S. trade policies and their impact on global trade flows, noting that winners and losers among multi-national producers of tradeable goods will become obvious in time. The current outlook for many global businesses remains uncertain due to new trade policies. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 11, 2026 | Saturna Sustainable Funds (SEEFX, SEBFX) | 2.4% | 17.9% | GOOGL | AI, Dollar, Fed, gold, international, Silver, tariffs, technology | AI was the dominant investment theme of 2025, driving performance in Technology and Communications sectors. China's DeepSeek model initially caused market volatility by appearing to achieve performance comparable to US models at lower cost. Despite initial concerns, AI-related stocks recovered and led market gains through most of the year. The US Dollar Index fell 10.08% in 2025, its steepest drop since 2017. This weakness turbocharged returns for dollar-based investors in international markets, with developed and emerging market ETFs returning over 30% in dollar terms. Gold surged to all-time highs reaching $4,314 by year-end, surpassing previous peaks even in inflation-adjusted terms. The rally was driven by debasement concerns and central bank interest, with gold deriving value from what it is not - an asset based on full faith and credit of the United States. Silver soared even more than gold to $71 by year-end, though remaining short of its inflation-adjusted peak of $170 from the Hunt brothers era. The rally was influenced by supply and demand imbalances and extensive industrial uses, especially in solar power. | View | |
