| 2025 Q4 | Jan 23, 2026 | Brandes International Equity Fund | 5.7% | 39.1% | 005930.KS, 1876.HK, 4503.T, 8306.T, BABA, BNP.PA, CX, DGE.L, DPW.DE, EBS.VI, ERJ, GRF.MC, GSK, HEI.DE, KER.PA, MNDI.L, NG.L, ORA.PA, OTEX.TO, RI.PA, TSCO.L, TSM | emerging markets, Europe, international, Outperformance, packaging, Utilities, value | International value stocks continue to trade within the least expensive valuation quartile relative to growth stocks since style indices inception. The valuation gap is evident across multiple metrics including price/earnings, price/cash flow, and enterprise value/sales. Historically, such discount levels often preceded attractive relative returns for value stocks over subsequent three- to five-year periods. Exposure to emerging markets helped returns, led by South Korean Samsung Electronics, Mexico's Cemex, and Erste Group Bank operating across emerging Europe. Leading contributors for the year included emerging market holdings such as Alibaba, Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor, Brazil's Embraer and Mexico-based Cemex. The portfolio continues to have larger weighting to select emerging markets, particularly Mexico, South Korea, and Brazil. National Grid has strategically repositioned its asset base toward electricity networks, reducing exposure to gas and aligning with long-term energy transition trends. Over the past decade, roughly 75% of its regulated asset base is in electricity, expected to rise to 80% by 2029, supported by structural growth in electrification and renewable integration. The company's position as a critical enabler of decarbonization provides attractive risk-adjusted returns. Mondi is a leading European producer of corrugated packaging, containerboard, kraft paper, and uncoated fine paper with strong presence in Eastern and Western Europe. Secular trends such as sustainability, convenience, and the shift from plastic to paper underpin steady growth in fiber-based packaging. The company's cost leadership, strong positioning in high-barrier-to-entry kraft paper market, and integrated operations provide competitive advantage. | TSCO LN NG LN MNDI LN |

| 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 | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 18, 2026 | T. Bailey Multi-Asset Growth Fund | 4.0% | 14.6% | AAPL, AZN, BYTS.L, CKN.L, EXPN.L, HIK.L, HLMA.L, IMI.L, ITRK.L, LLOY.L, MAN.L, MNDI.L, MSFT, NWG.L, ORCL, ROR.L, SHOP.TO, TESCO.L, TSLA | AI, Central Banks, commodities, Copper, 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. 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 |

Gold surged above US$4,300 per ounce in October, then reached new highs above US$4,500 in December. 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 |
