The 25% tariffs on vehicles not made in the USA will add approximately $6,400 to vehicle prices, potentially leading to demand destruction and model discontinuations. | C LNR.TO |

| 2023 Q1 | Mar 31, 2023 | Alluvium Global Fund | - | - | BABA, CHTR, CPRI, DKS, GOOGL, HCA, HRB, LBRDK, LEA, LNR.TO, LUV, MCK, MU, RHI, ROG.SW, RYA.L, THO, UMG.AS, WBA, WFG.TO | Airlines, Cyclical, global, healthcare, Recovery, technology, value | Ryanair was the Fund's best performer over the quarter, up 21.9%. Now operating above pre-Covid levels, management's bold purchase of additional Boeing Max aircraft during the pandemic is proving prescient. Given strong traffic recovery and pricing, Ryanair raised its full year profit guidance by 25%. | LBRDK |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 23, 2026 | Alluvium Global Fund | -1.1% | -0.1% | 005930.KS, AN, BABA, CHTR, DKS, GOOGL, GPI, HCA, HRB, LBRDA, LNR.TO, LYB, MCK, RHI, RYAAY, THO, UMG.AS, V | AI, Airlines, global, healthcare, technology, underperformance, value | The fund discusses the rapid adoption of AI technologies, particularly Alphabet's Gemini AI which gained 650 million monthly active users in six months. Questions remain about quantifying efficiency gains and monetary benefits versus the immense capital outlays by providers. Ryanair represents the fund's largest position at 9.4%, benefiting from earlier aircraft deliveries and upgraded traffic expectations. Management expects reasonable net profit growth with strengthening competitive positioning. The fund follows a value-oriented approach, buying more of poorly performing investments as they decline. The managers acknowledge the value investor's curse of buying too early and selling too early, citing examples of premature exits from gold miners and semiconductor companies. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 19, 2026 | Forager Australian Shares Fund | -1.9% | 24.8% | ARX.AX, BVS.AX, CAT.AX, CCL.AX, CRH, EML.AX, FISV, FIX, IEL.AX, INCH.L, INGA.AS, LNR.TO, MAH.AX, NUTX, NXT, NZX.NZ, OFX.AX, PLT.AX, PPS.AX, WISE.L, ZEG.L | Australia, dispersion, Mining, Quality, small caps, technology, Tourism, value | Small cap stocks significantly outperformed large caps in 2025, with the Small Ordinaries returning almost 25% versus 10% for the All Ordinaries. Small resources companies drove much of this outperformance with a 73% return, while small industrials delivered a more modest 9% return. Mining services investments like Macmahon benefited from enthusiasm for gold, silver and copper, with the company's share price almost doubling in 2025 after almost a decade of mediocre returns. New contracts for civil infrastructure acquisition Decmil position the company well for future revenue guidance. Australian tourism is finally showing signs of recovery with international arrivals hitting 97% of 2019 levels in recent months. Travel has historically grown at a multiple of GDP growth and there is still catching up to do. Tourism stocks remain very cheap on recovered earnings expectations. AI enthusiasm drove strong performance in tech-heavy indices, but also created concerns about software companies' competitive moats. The theory that AI diminishes software value through 'vibe coding' is one the manager is willing to bet against at the right price, particularly for established platforms with security and reliability advantages. Quality businesses with strong moats and decades of earnings growth suffered in 2025 as share prices had been growing faster than earnings. High multiples became problematic even for the best businesses, resulting in years of no returns while earnings catch up or significant derating if both earnings and multiples come into question. | MAH AU PLT AU OFX AU ARX AU |

Markets are increasingly questioning whether new AI-enabled competitors and solutions threaten the dominance of application software companies. The fund added three technology companies that have each halved over 2025 and hopes to add more. Many tech stocks had become expensive but recent falls present opportunities, though most still aren't cheap enough including Xero. International arrivals into Australia set post-Covid records in recent months, with August, September and October combined seeing arrivals hit 97% of 2019 levels. Travel has historically grown at a multiple of GDP growth and there is still catching up to do. Quality businesses with strong moats and decades of earnings growth suffered in 2025 as share prices had been growing faster than earnings. High multiples became a problem even for the best businesses, resulting in years of no returns or significant derating. | ARX AU ZEG LN NXT NUTX FISV |

Visa and Mastercard operate essential open-loop payment systems with insurmountable barriers to entry, benefiting from digital payment growth trends including e-commerce, mobile payments, and emerging market adoption. | LMT V |

They suggest Alphabet's 20.8% return was driven more by AI sentiment than fundamentals. The manager warns that AI-driven valuations may be unsustainable, citing historical examples of tech bubble collapses. | View | |

The manager discusses the long-term performance divergence between growth and value stocks, noting that growth has outperformed value significantly over recent years but maintains their disciplined value philosophy regardless of market trends. | View | |

Regis Resources gained 46.3% and Northern Star 32.0%, with Agnico Eagle also performing well at 18.6%. The fund completed its divestment of Northern Star after a 2.6-year holding period that returned 18.5%. | View |
