| 2025 Q4 | Feb 10, 2026 | PM Capital Enhanced Yield Fund | 0.8% | 4.6% | 2282.HK, 8570.PA, APO, BAER.L, BHP.AX, CABK.MC, CGF.AX, COL.AX, CRN.L, CS.AX, FCX, FDV.AX, FOXA, HEIA.AS, IMI.L, INGA.AS, LLOY.L, NEM, NSC, NST.AX, QUB.AX, RPRX, SHL.DE, SMR.AX, TECK, TSCO.L, UNP, WDS.AX, WOW.AX | Bonds, credit, fixed income, inflation, rates, Yield | Despite signs of re-emergence of higher inflation across major global developed economies including Australia in the December quarter, the fund delivered positive returns. Australian bond yields increased significantly with three year bonds rising over 60 basis points and 10 year bonds almost 50 basis points, representing a shift from rate cut expectations to multiple rate increase expectations in 2026. The fund increased exposure to fixed interest rates during the quarter as markets became overly optimistic about cash rate increases in 2026. Management believes multiple rate increases would put notable downward pressure on the economy given cost-of-living pressures and higher house prices remain issues. | View | |

Portfolio holdings Freeport McMoRan, Teck Resources, and BHP delivered strong performance. The fund maintains conviction in copper due to tightening supply, record prices, and geopolitical uncertainty. Gold gained 12% in the quarter, reaching record highs and delivering extraordinary 64% gains for 2025. Monetary policy uncertainty and geopolitical tensions provided positive backdrop. Portfolio holdings Newmont and Northern Star Resources contributed meaningfully to performance. Union Pacific's proposed merger with Norfolk Southern would create the first coast-to-coast rail network in the US, potentially unlocking rail's potential to capture long-distance freight. The unified network could benefit broader US supply chains and provide the next leg of growth for an industry that has relied on efficiency gains. European banking sector produced strong outperformance led by Bank of Ireland, Lloyds Banking Group, and CaixaBank. Sector returns supported by interest rate stabilization and yield curve steepening. The market is transitioning toward improving organic loan growth after fifteen years of stagnant credit activity. | CRN LN APO SHL GR UNP LLOY LN BIRG LN IMI LN TECK FCX |

| 2025 Q4 | Dec 31, 2025 | Royal London Global Equity Diversified Fund | 4.8% | 12.5% | 7741.T, AAPL, AMZN, AVGO, BHP.AX, BRO, CPRT, GOOGL, HEIA.L, ITW, JPM, LLOY.L, LLY, LW, META, MSFT, MU, NVDA, RACE, V | AI, defense, Global Equity, healthcare, Quality, semiconductors, technology, Valuations | The fund benefited from strong positioning in AI-related companies, particularly Alphabet which saw positive results following the release of the Gemini 3 model that was widely accepted as market leading. 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. Many fundamentally sound, profitable, and dependable businesses are currently trading on the lowest relative valuations seen for years when compared to the broader index. | HAG GR ITW RACE LW MU LLY GOOG |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 18, 2026 | T. Bailey Multi-Asset Dynamic Fund | 3.5% | 13.9% | AZN.L, BYTS.L, CKN.L, EXPN.L, HIK.L, HLMA.L, IMI.L, ITRK.L, LLOY.L, MAN.L, MNDI.L, NWG.L, ORCL, ROR.L, TSCO.L | AI, Central Banks, Copper, diversification, gold, Multi-Asset, Trade Policy, UK Budget | Artificial intelligence shifted from growth to returns on capital as earnings and guidance highlighted rapidly rising infrastructure spending. Oracle's December profit warning and data-centre project delays intensified scrutiny of near-term monetisation, marking a turning point that tempered earlier enthusiasm for AI infrastructure and chipmakers. Gold surged above US$4,300 per ounce in October, prompting exposure to be trimmed closer to long-term strategic targets. After experiencing one of its steepest single-day declines in years on 21 October, the metal subsequently recovered to reach a new high above US$4,500 in December, supported by falling bond yields and growing expectations of rate cuts. Copper performed well this quarter, rising 16.57%, with demand remaining resilient supported by ongoing electrification and infrastructure spend. Supply stayed relatively tight due to limited new mine capacity and periodic disruptions, while improving risk sentiment and pockets of inventory rebuilding provided additional support. Trade tensions stayed elevated despite a truce, with threatened tariff escalation in October giving way to a one-year US-China tariff truce after late-October talks. This eased near-term supply-chain risk but left strategic issues unresolved, with stockpiling activity providing support as market participants hedged against further tariff uncertainty. | View | |

The metal experienced one of its steepest single-day declines in years on 21 October but subsequently recovered to reach a new high above US$4,500 in December, supported by safe haven demand and central bank purchases. Copper led performance within multi-asset portfolios, advancing 16.57% over the quarter. Following a correction in July 2025 driven by tariff-related volatility, copper stabilised and rebuilt momentum through Q4, underpinned by a structurally tight supply-demand backdrop and disruption risk across key producing regions. Trade tensions stayed elevated despite a truce, with threatened tariff escalation in October giving way to a one-year US-China tariff truce after late-October talks. This eased near-term supply-chain risk but left strategic issues unresolved, with stockpiling activity providing additional support to commodity markets. | LGEU LN |

Supported by falling bond yields, rate cut expectations, geopolitical tensions, and central bank purchases. Copper performed well rising 16.57% in Q4, supported by ongoing electrification, infrastructure spend, tight supply due to limited new mine capacity, and stockpiling activity amid tariff uncertainty. Healthcare exposure contributed positively as policy risks receded, valuations looked attractive, and investors rotated toward high-quality, cash-generative businesses with resilient earnings. Trade tensions stayed elevated despite a truce. Threatened tariff escalation in October gave way to a one-year US-China tariff truce after late-October talks, easing near-term supply-chain risk but left strategic issues unresolved. | PCGH LN |

Coffee viewed as attractive category due to experiential nature and brand loyalty, with Nestlé delivering positive volume growth despite high single-digit price increases.

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 15, 2026 | L1 Capital Long Short Fund | 14.1% | 46.8% | ALL.AX, AZJ.AX, BSL.AX, CRH, CTD.AX, FLT.AX, FTT.AX, JHX.AX, LLOY.L, LNW.AX, LSF.AX, MIN.AX, STLD, WGX.AX | Australia, gold, infrastructure, Long/Short, Steel, Travel, value | Gold price continued to rally, up 12% for the quarter and 65% for 2025, driven by large U.S. federal fiscal deficits, dollar devaluation, emerging market central bank accumulation, and global interest rate cutting cycle. Westgold Resources performed strongly with the company releasing a positive 3-year outlook demonstrating transformation into material scale producer. BlueScope Steel received multiple takeover proposals from Steel Dynamics, validating the strategic value of North American steel assets. Trump administration increased steel tariffs to 50% with no exemptions, materially improving profitability and resilience of U.S. steel producers.

Aurizon benefited from proposed 10-year extension to regulatory arrangements for Queensland rail network access, enhancing long-term earnings certainty. Above-rail performance supported by robust coal volumes and BHP copper railings.

Flight Centre shares rallied 30% on earnings-accretive acquisition of Iglu cruise agency and benefited from competitor issues. Travel sentiment and outbound travel from Australia to Europe and United States continues to improve, providing tailwinds to performance. Uranium continues to be a key portfolio exposure alongside infrastructure, gold, and U.S. cyclicals. The manager believes uranium provides some of the best opportunities globally as part of their quality value investment approach. Following significant outperformance of high P/E stocks over the past decade, the manager is finding more attractive opportunities in Value stocks. They believe low P/E stocks are well positioned to strongly outperform high P/E stocks over the coming 1-2 years, with portfolio having stronger than usual Value skew. Continued acceleration in AI-related capital expenditure attracted increased investor attention during the quarter. Estimated cumulative hyperscaler capex between 2025-2028 is substantial, expected to be double their available cash flows, necessitating increased debt funding. This heightened focus contributed to de-rating of speculative AI-exposed stocks. Mineral Resources benefited from lithium spodumene prices moving 92% higher during the quarter, recovering sharply due to upgraded demand outlook from stationary storage batteries and ongoing supply uncertainty from major Chinese operations. Company announced sale of 30% interest in lithium assets to POSCO for A$1.2b at 45% premium to consensus NAV. | FLT AU LLOY LN JHX AU LNW AU FTT CN AZJ AU MIN AU WGX AU BSL AU |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 11, 2026 | Oldfield Partners Overstone World All Cap Equity Fund | 12.5% | 45.2% | 005930.KS, AC.TO, FFH.TO, Gold, J36.SI, LLOY.L, MT | AI, Asia, Conglomerates, diversification, global, gold, Steel, value | The fund focuses on traditional companies trading at attractive valuations while markets have been distracted by AI and tech excitement. Average price-earnings ratio of holdings is less than twelve and average price-book value is well under one, representing opportunities among essentially sound businesses at moderate valuations. Despite being the year of AI, it has been highly successful for this value manager. The fund has AI exposure through companies in the SK group, Samsung, and Curiosity Stream, with Samsung and SK being major contributors to performance in 2025. Barrick Mining has been the outstanding contributor to fund performance. At the current level of the gold price, it remains highly attractive as an investment opportunity. ArcelorMittal, the European and Indian steel company, has been a major contributor to the fund's performance in 2025 and continues to be held in the portfolio. | View | |

The fund benefited from AI-related dynamics, particularly through Samsung's memory products experiencing substantial price increases due to DRAM shortages driven by AI demand. The fund focuses on investing in companies with low valuations that are unloved, ignored, or out of favor but remain fundamental to the global economy. Despite persistent bubble discussions, opportunities continue to exist away from media headlines in companies trading at attractive valuations. New investment in Swatch represents exposure to luxury watch brands including Omega, Longines, Tissot, and others. The investment thesis is based on tangible assets including Swiss real estate and the potential for operating leverage when luxury demand recovers from current structural pressures. | View |
