Agency MBS was the top performing market segment and remained attractive versus corporates despite tightening spreads. The managers reduced allocations to investment-grade and high-yield corporates due to very tight yield spreads versus history. They focused on optimizing income through security selection rather than adding material risk given current tight valuations. The Fed enacted two quarter-point rate cuts in Q4, bringing total 2025 reductions to 75 basis points. The fund maintained neutral duration positioning and retained bias for yield curve steepening through intermediate-term overweights. | View | |

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 |

Duration positioning detracted from performance as this portion of the curve sold off in October due to investor perceptions of a hawkish Federal Reserve. The fund built a U.S. rate-steepening bias throughout the quarter. Agency mortgage-backed securities contributed to performance as spreads continued to tighten amid strong technical support.

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.

Wide range of views within Fed from six rate cuts to two rate hikes for 2026, with new Fed chair expected in May 2026 who may move aggressively on rates.

The generative AI supercycle has driven extreme market concentration in the magnificent few companies, leaving huge parts of the equity universe ignored. Eli Lilly was a key contributor due to its dominant position in the fast-growing GLP-1 drug market. Third-quarter results were exceptional due to explosive demand for its metabolic franchise with Mounjaro for diabetes and Zepbound for obesity generating more than $10 billion in quarterly sales. Micron Technology continued to provide positive contribution as a semiconductor manufacturer benefiting from the AI boom. DRAM pricing has continued to rise sharply, creating a favorable environment for Micron and enabling improved profitability from rising AI workloads and tight semiconductor supply. The fund initiated a position in Hensoldt, a European defense electronics company, classified as an Accelerator. The investment case is underpinned by strong positioning in sensor solutions and electronic warfare, seeing heightened demand amid increased European defense spending with robust order book and technological edge in radar and optronics. The fund benefited from investors beginning to appreciate companies with more defensive qualities such as relatively reliable revenues.

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. On Holding represents a play on the growing scarcity of the real. As digital marketing becomes commoditized and AI floods the world with generic content, value migrates toward physical community and technical prestige. On is selling membership in a curated, physical ecosystem that AI cannot replicate. | AMRZ HOLN SW NU ONON BRK.B TSM GOOGL |

Interest spreads have begun widening as fixed rate assets roll over at higher yields, revealing attractive economics of low-cost deposit franchises. Many banks are generating returns on tangible equity in the mid-to-high teens with management targets suggesting sustainability in the medium term. Capital markets firms were among the drivers of S&P Financials Index performance and contributed to fund outperformance. The regulatory environment has been moving in a favorable direction with capital rules being finalized that are far less onerous than under the prior administration. Regulators are more willing to consider M&A transactions with relief on certain supervisory limitations. Property & casualty reinsurers were added to the portfolio as capital was redeployed from trimmed bank positions. Pricing trends in insurance markets have been strong in recent years. Chubb has consistently generated returns on equity comfortably ahead of the industry owing to advantaged lines of business with disciplined underwriting and operating culture. Payments and consumer lending companies were the biggest contributors to relative performance including Capital One, American Express and Rocket Companies. Capital One's transformational acquisition of Discover Financial closed with anticipated annual cost synergies of $1.5 billion and network synergies of $1.2 billion from transitioning card volumes into Discover's networks. Financial stock valuations have begun to reset higher with price-to-tangible book value multiples expanding by over 70% on average in the past three years.

The manager believes AI's greatest impact will come from companies using it as an input to improve operations rather than those selling AI products. Many dividend-paying companies in labor-intensive industries could benefit significantly from AI adoption through process automation and efficiency gains. The portfolio focuses on high dividend yields approximately 3x the S&P 500, with strong dividend coverage ratios and projected dividend growth. Six companies increased dividends in the quarter, led by MPLX with a 13% increase. The strategy emphasizes collecting high and rising dividends while compounding real cash returns through disciplined reinvestment. The portfolio trades at significant discounts to the broad market, with P/E ratios 40-42% below the S&P 500.

This approach is viewed as offering resilience amid continuing inflation and uncertain macroeconomic conditions. Healthcare led all sectors in the fourth quarter after being beaten down for much of the year. The fund remains keen on healthcare stocks, particularly those in the healthcare equipment and supplies industry, because they are attractively valued and demand tends to be less susceptible to changes in the economic environment.

As a leading provider of equipment tied to memory requirements for AI, Lam Research could have a long and healthy path to growth. Analog Devices pushed toward new all-time highs after solid earnings gave investors confidence that the analog cycle is now beyond its bottom.

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.
