Sanofi was initiated based on strong R&D investment and pipeline potential despite vaccine market volatility. Samsung Electronics was a top contributor as earnings recovered due to strength in its core semiconductor business. The company's High Bandwidth Memory product lineup continues to improve under new management, positioning it as one of the world's leading semiconductor companies with a long runway for future growth. DSV was a top contributor during the quarter, delivering solid third-quarter results and accelerating the timeline for DB Schenker acquisition synergies. The freight forwarding business is viewed as high-growth and return-generative, benefiting from an asset-lite model with industry-leading management and profitability. IMCD and Symrise were added as new positions in the specialty chemicals space.

Symrise leads in flavors, fragrances, and specialty ingredients with renewed focus on profitability and cash flow showing early signs of operational inflection. The manager emphasizes value investing approach, noting that for more than a decade value investing in overseas markets witnessed U.S. growth stocks soar unsustainably.
