2025 Q4	Jan 26, 2026	NZS Capital – Growth	-1.4%	17.9%	AJG, APH, ASML, CDNS, CMG, CSU.TO, DHR, DNP.WA, FI, FND, FROG, GOOGL, HRTX, ISRG, LIN, LRCX, MNDY, PGR, ROP, TSM, URI	AI, growth, positioning, semiconductors, software, technology, valuation	The market created a wall of worry that AI would displace existing software companies, but NZS believes software systems of record are well positioned to adapt through AI integration. 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 portfolio added to IT names amid weakness in the first half of 2025 before reallocating outside of IT in the third quarter as AI euphoria returned and multiples recovered.

They are likely in the early stages of a decade-long AI investment cycle, seeking upside capture while managing risks of rapid technological change, rising competition and growing financial leverage. The gap will widen between AI winners versus AI losers, favoring active portfolio management. The fund maintains exposure to semiconductor companies benefiting from AI-driven demand. Applied Materials and KLA gained from sustained AI-driven semiconductor demand with improving customer outlooks. The portfolio includes semiconductor manufacturing equipment suppliers and chip designers positioned for the AI infrastructure build-out. The fund invests in hyperscalers and cloud infrastructure companies. Alphabet showed improving growth in its cloud segment and renewed confidence in its vertically integrated AI strategy. The portfolio includes companies providing cloud services and infrastructure supporting the AI transformation.

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.

The Bank of Japan lifted its rate a quarter point while the ECB stood pat, creating rate differentials that played out in currency markets.		View
2025 Q4	Jan 11, 2026	Impax Global Environmental Markets Fund	-1.5%	14.0%	A, AI.PA, AMAT, ITRI, KYGA.L, LIN, MSFT, RNR, SU.PA, TSM, UNP, VIE.PA	AI, Energy Efficiency, Environmental, global, Industrial Gases, semiconductors, technology, Waste management	AI-related investments drove portfolio performance with impressive execution from semiconductor foundries, chip equipment manufacturers, and power management companies. The team maintains high conviction in a picks and shovels approach to AI, focusing on performance efficiency and companies improving power supply delivery. Despite market concerns about elevated AI capital expenditure, the team believes AI-driven secular tailwinds remain intact. Energy efficiency remains a core focus with holdings in HVAC, heat pumps, and power management electronics. Weaker US residential construction volumes contributed to underperformance from energy-efficient HVAC and heat pump exposure. The strategy emphasizes companies bending the total power demand curve and improving efficiency of power supply. Industrial gases holdings like Linde and Air Liquide provide operationally defensive businesses with resilient end markets and clear multi-decade pricing power. These companies operate within oligopolistic market structures benefitting from durable demand and attractive pricing power, serving as portfolio ballast despite current muted volume growth. Waste and recycling holdings offer compelling reward-to-risk characteristics through operationally defensive businesses tied to resilient end markets. The team maintains exposure to high-quality businesses in waste and recycling as portfolio ballast, benefiting from oligopolistic market structures and durable demand patterns. Smart and efficient grids exposure faced challenges with companies like Itron disappointing on order intake expectations. However, grid upgrades remain attractive secular growth opportunities over the long-term as part of the broader infrastructure modernization theme. Water infrastructure holdings experienced underperformance during the quarter due to factors including profit taking and poor business execution. Despite near-term challenges, water infrastructure remains part of the long-term environmental markets opportunity set.		View
