The AI investment boom continued to power corporate capital expenditures and supply growth, though consumer confidence readings suggest potential underlying softness that could emerge if AI investment moderates. The manager sees excellent value opportunities globally, particularly in international and emerging markets despite strong recent performance. U.S. healthcare and consumer staples have been left behind by the AI frenzy and trade at appealing valuations. Portfolio companies show attractive price/earnings ratios with meaningful long-term return potential. Recent tariff policies continued to negatively impact U.S. consumers and companies throughout the year. However, international companies have been finding new trade arrangements and growth opportunities, benefiting from shifts in global trade patterns as the new U.S. administration alters terms of international cooperation. | View | |

The financial exchange sector is comprised of durable, monopoly-like businesses with a history of predictable mean-reversion. CME is positioned to benefit from continued interest rate volatility and ever-expanding U.S. government debt issuance. | 7011.T CMPO CME |

MicroStrategy operates as the leader in pioneering corporate bitcoin strategy with the largest corporate bitcoin stash. The manager views bitcoin's institutional narrative advancing through maturing spot ETFs and growing corporate interest. AI represents a gunpowder moment that is flattening the playing field, allowing solo entrepreneurs to compete with enterprises and small businesses to compete with larger ones. The manager notes institutional investors have zero interest in non-AI deals currently. However, AI may also make people dumber and risks losing habits of attention and deep learning. AST SpaceMobile represents a bet on eliminating cellular dead zones through space-based broadband to unmodified smartphones. The company has partnerships with major carriers and is building what could become a massive subscription business. The space economy narrative is gaining attention with potential SpaceX IPO catalysts. Gold surged 65% in 2025, its best year since 1979, while most people forgot about it. Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust provides exposure to physical metals without counterparty risk or financial engineering. The position serves as insurance when fiat currencies inflate over long time horizons. | CEF HEI ASTS MSTR |
