| 2025 Q4 | Jan 5, 2026 | Greenfield Investment Management | 0.0% | 0.0% | BLDR, BNT.DE, CARR, CSU.TO, GOOGL, HEI.DE, INTC, JMHLY, MCK, OMC, POW.TO, RSHO, RYAAY, TAP, WCC | Airlines, Conglomerates, global, infrastructure, Pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, technology, value | Manager believes Heidelberg Materials will benefit from investment in and upgrading of infrastructure around the world. New bridges, highways, dams, tunnels, airports, ports, pipes, and railways require a lot of cement. McKesson investment viewed as similar to a royalty on Americans taking more pharmaceuticals over time. The pharmaceutical distribution company operates mainly in the United States and has climbed steadily despite earlier opioid crisis concerns. Manager follows value investing approach, buying companies at attractive valuations relative to earnings. Multiple examples given of purchasing stocks at low price-to-earnings multiples when they were out of favor. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 23, 2026 | Brandes International Equity Fund | 5.7% | 39.1% | 005930.KS, 1876.HK, 4503.T, 8306.T, BABA, BNP.PA, CX, DGE.L, DPW.DE, EBS.VI, ERJ, GRF.MC, GSK, HEI.DE, KER.PA, MNDI.L, NG.L, ORA.PA, OTEX.TO, RI.PA, TSCO.L, TSM | emerging markets, Europe, international, Outperformance, packaging, Utilities, value | International value stocks continue to trade within the least expensive valuation quartile relative to growth stocks since style indices inception. The valuation gap is evident across multiple metrics including price/earnings, price/cash flow, and enterprise value/sales. Historically, such discount levels often preceded attractive relative returns for value stocks over subsequent three- to five-year periods. Exposure to emerging markets helped returns, led by South Korean Samsung Electronics, Mexico's Cemex, and Erste Group Bank operating across emerging Europe. Leading contributors for the year included emerging market holdings such as Alibaba, Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor, Brazil's Embraer and Mexico-based Cemex. The portfolio continues to have larger weighting to select emerging markets, particularly Mexico, South Korea, and Brazil. National Grid has strategically repositioned its asset base toward electricity networks, reducing exposure to gas and aligning with long-term energy transition trends. Over the past decade, roughly 75% of its regulated asset base is in electricity, expected to rise to 80% by 2029, supported by structural growth in electrification and renewable integration. The company's position as a critical enabler of decarbonization provides attractive risk-adjusted returns. Mondi is a leading European producer of corrugated packaging, containerboard, kraft paper, and uncoated fine paper with strong presence in Eastern and Western Europe. Secular trends such as sustainability, convenience, and the shift from plastic to paper underpin steady growth in fiber-based packaging. The company's cost leadership, strong positioning in high-barrier-to-entry kraft paper market, and integrated operations provide competitive advantage. | TSCO LN NG LN MNDI LN |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 15, 2026 | ClearBridge Investments International Growth ADR Strategy | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0700.HK, 8035.T, AZN.L, CLS.TO, EL.PA, ENR1.DE, GALD.SW, HEI.DE, III.L, ITX.MC, LIN, NVO, NWG.L, RACE, ROG.SW, RYA.L, SE, SIE.DE, SONY, TT, UCG.MI | AI, Asia, banks, Europe, growth, international, Pharmaceuticals, value | The Strategy saw strength in holdings supporting the buildout of AI workloads during the quarter, led by Siemens Energy (electrical equipment for data centers), Tokyo Electron (semiconductor equipment), and Celestica (cloud platform technology solutions). Data centers remain supportive for earnings revisions in industrial holdings. Health care was a focus of activity with repurchases of EssilorLuxottica and Galderma Group and addition of Roche. Roche reported positive Phase III data for giredestrant and fenebrutinib with peak sales opportunities of $5 billion each. The sector has been improving after U.S. policy pressures moderated. Increased non-U.S. defense spending is here to stay as NATO evolves from U.S. leadership to more European participation. There has been rebuilding of inventories in the European Union and efforts to maintain steady defense infrastructure supply. Japan has also increased defense spending under its new prime minister. Despite investor avoidance since COVID, Chinese innovation is rapid and happens at lower prices. The next five years will see companies consolidate and dominate higher value chain positions across pharmaceuticals, battery materials, solar energy and technology. Lower valuations and higher profitability make exposure necessary. Banks can benefit from funding AI and energy transitions through new profitable loans. Heidelberg Materials could see upside from implementing decarbonization technologies in cement production. The transition creates lending opportunities and operational improvements for industrial companies. Value has worked internationally because inexpensive stocks are direct beneficiaries of enormous stimulus measures in Germany, Europe and Japan. The Strategy increased structural growth exposure through European and U.K. banks where there is a step change in earnings. Bank valuations remain inexpensive with excess capital. | HEI GR ROG SW NWG LN AZN LN |
