The enthusiasm for artificial intelligence driving enormous capital expenditures in associated infrastructure has been a key catalyst for the low-quality rally. Keysight is extremely well positioned to benefit from ongoing technology innovation across the wireless, networking, and semiconductor markets. The fund focuses on high-quality, profitable companies and avoids speculative ventures. Portfolio companies have grown revenues and EBITDA by 10% and 11% over the last twelve months, respectively, compared to 5% and 4% for the Index. The portfolio enjoys superior operating margins and return on equity of 20% and 17%, compared to 12% and 15% for the Index. The fund was trading at 82% of underlying intrinsic value estimates on a weighted-average basis as of December 31, 2025. The manager seeks to invest at a discount to intrinsic value to establish a margin of safety and mitigate the potential for permanent capital loss. While willing to pay a reasonable valuation multiple premium for quality, the focus remains on attractive valuations. | GWRE FOUR KEYS DAR |

The fund invests in the proven over the promise, the long-term over the short-term, and durability over momentum. This focus on quality businesses has been a strong foundation for attractive long-term investment performance. Alphabet released new AI models that gave investors further confidence that the company is well positioned for growth. Workday is investing in commercializing AI agents, which should be additive to revenue growth. The fund acknowledges heightened concerns of AI-related disruption affecting some businesses. Honeywell is undergoing a portfolio transformation with the anticipated separation of the aerospace and automation businesses in the second half of 2026. This separation will further enhance the return on invested capital and growth opportunities for each business. | WDAY FISV |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 16, 2026 | Janus Henderson Global Sustainable Equity Fund | -1.5% | 9.2% | 1299.HK, AAPL, AJG, EXPN.L, GOOGL, IFX.DE, KEYS, KLAC, MMC, MU, NTDOY, NVDA, ORCL, PGR, SPOT, STN.TO, TMUS, TSM, UBER, WD, WK | AI, Climate, Energy Transition, global, semiconductors, sustainability, technology | AI remained a dominant trend with NVIDIA becoming the first company to reach $5 trillion market cap. The rally broadened to the AI value chain including memory companies like Micron. Structural demand across the AI value chain remained robust despite concerns about overstretched valuations. TSMC continued positive momentum with robust results, beating revenue and margin expectations driven by strong demand for advanced products. The company raised full-year revenue guidance to 35% reflecting explosive growth in AI demand from consumer, enterprise and sovereign AI models. Clean technology economics reached a tipping point with renewables and EVs achieving cost parity, driving record investment of $2 trillion in 2025. Global EV sales reached 20% of new car purchases despite policy uncertainty, with solar attracting $500 billion in investment. 2025 was one of the three hottest years ever recorded with climate-driven disasters causing significant costs. Despite political challenges, 84% of large companies maintained climate commitments and investor sentiment remained resilient with 70% committed to sustainability long-term. | View | |

The firm believes solid business fundamentals should reassert themselves as the primary driver of stock prices in the long run, similar to the tech bubble period. AI-related infrastructure investments continue driving market enthusiasm, with companies like Amphenol benefiting from data center buildouts. However, the firm views AI excitement as creating speculation that draws capital away from other areas, leading to extended valuations for AI-related stocks. | FAST AZO BRO APH MKL |
