European and Japanese equities trade around 15x forward earnings, roughly 30% discount to US multiples. Latin America trades at mere 10x forward earnings with 5%+ dividend yield. Artificial intelligence investments show artificial profit today due to massive capex creating revenue for picks-and-shovels companies while depreciation lags cash expenses. The AI complex is moving toward commoditization with intense competition evident across cloud providers, compute, and models themselves. Circular investments within the AI ecosystem are reminiscent of dotcom-era vendor financing. American institutional excellence is under unprecedented attack including rule of law, independent judiciary, competent bureaucracy, and fiscal prudence. The current administration has conducted mass purges of government watchdogs, attacked Federal Reserve independence, and systematically undermined the norms that define proper federal government role. Markets are experiencing extreme speculation with vibe investing replacing fundamental analysis. Assets are priced on fantastical stories rather than cash flows, with leveraged ETFs, retail options trading, and story stocks reaching bubble-like levels. This madness can only end in disaster. High-quality international businesses trade at fractions of US multiples, with the manager positioning clients to take advantage of this divergence. Despite US equity market dominating investor mindshare, the rest of the world returned 32.6% in dollar terms in 2025 versus SPY's 17.7%. | View | |

The manager views AI as creating opportunities through enabling constraints and compounding downstream optionality, while complexity causes market participants to misprice assets. The AI epoch remains transformational and has dominated US equity markets in both size and mindshare. Upstream supply-chain participants are increasingly signaling that 2028 and beyond capex could be materially higher, not lower, contradicting the widely held digestion narrative. TSMC lifted capex expectations, ASML's bookings re-accelerated, and Intel found itself unexpectedly capacity-constrained in data-centre CPUs. The semiconductor supply chain is signaling acceleration rather than the expected digestion phase. The market is being asked to underwrite multiple Stargate-scale campuses every year for several years, with analyst forecasts implying roughly 10 GW in FY27E, 12 GW in FY28E, 13 GW in FY29E, and 16 GW in FY30E-FY31E. A 1 GW data centre costs roughly $50-60 billion, with NVIDIA capturing around $35 billion of that via its share of the stack. Software multiples have compressed as if AI disruption is inevitable, while hyperscalers and enterprises still struggle to demonstrate clear AI ROI. The traditional SaaS playbook faces challenges from AI eating into margins, attacking the pricing unit, and creating cannibalization problems. The software total addressable market is likely to grow 2-3x as AI replaces some work and the gap between software spend and headcount narrows. | View | |

While AI is an outstanding white-collar tool that will assist good companies, it won't quickly change government, healthcare, banking, or military sectors due to switching costs, training requirements, and regulatory constraints. Over 20% of private credit funds are loans to software companies, creating potential systemic risk as institutional LPs want their money back and GPs don't like the bids on what they need to sell. The pricing of illiquid assets in a market with no bids presents challenges similar to the S&L crisis or 2008 financial crisis. The software business is not dead, but many software stocks are facing repricing as growth gets picked off by AI changes and terminal values need to come down. The manager sees opportunities in slower growth, rule of 30 companies with strong margins and free cash flow that have been less appreciated but are now changing in valuation. | View | |

However, an MIT study found 95% of generative AI pilots failing to deliver measurable returns, raising concerns about overinvestment similar to the dot-com era. Supply demand dynamics favored US stocks with $1.1 trillion in total stock buybacks versus only $46 billion in IPOs. Energy leaders like Chevron rewarded shareholders with aggressive stock buybacks alongside strong production and growing dividends. Over 100 countries dramatically increased defense spending in 2025, providing a boost for the aerospace and defense sector. Jet engine production and maintenance soared, benefiting firms like Parker Hannifin, GE, RTX and Berkshire's Precision Castparts. In the fourth quarter, investors shifted toward undervalued, high-quality companies with strong free cash flow yields. Healthcare led with an 11.25% catch-up return as its valuation metrics remain at a significant discount to the broader market. Larger banks enjoyed steepening yield curves and robust capital markets activity, with Bank of New York and Citigroup showing strong fundamentals at cheap valuations.

Hyperscaler CapEx spending has reached historically high proportions of revenues and operating cash flows. The most attractive long-term AI opportunities reside with businesses building long-term value rather than companies exposed to cyclical swings. 2025 was characterized by extreme momentum dynamics with capital flowing into immediate winners while perceived losers saw unprecedented pressure. Market leadership concentrated in lower-quality, speculative, and cyclically sensitive stocks. The momentum trade has been exceptionally profitable short-term but timing the inevitable reversal remains challenging. Quality growth companies with stable fundamentals have seen relative valuations plummet to lowest levels in decades while cyclicals trade at historically high levels. The portfolio focuses on reliable and durable growth companies with lower variability that continue to compound earnings and cash flows attractively despite not being rewarded by the market currently. Semiconductor and AI capital equipment stocks were among market darlings, buoyed by massive AI infrastructure spending. However, purely cyclical sectors exposed to hyperscaler CapEx growth rates will have a shorter runway of growth left as further upward growth revisions become challenging. | ALC YUM IT META MSFT ARM AVGO CRM COO GOOG |

Continued strength in European defense equities as capital-intensive businesses like defense contractors are having their moment. Investors are waking up to their mission critical role in the rebuilding of supply chains and national security complexes.

Current large language models suffer from hallucinations but are likely just an opening phase. If AI advances in biotechnology, materials, and energy, the future could be very interesting. The U.S. stock market has been in bubble territory for a prolonged period, defined as a two-standard deviation divergence above long-term real price trend. Unlike every bubble before it, this one has yet to fully deflate despite classic signs of a historic bubble top. Hyperscalers spent nearly $300 billion on capital expenditures in 2025, with AI investment accounting for 1.3% of U.S. GDP. Cumulative spending on U.S. data centers is estimated to reach $3-5 trillion by 2029-2030, representing massive overcommitment of capital. Nvidia is currently the world's most valuable company, exceeding the entire Japanese stock market. The AI boom has created unprecedented demand for chips, with companies stretching depreciation schedules despite ongoing technological progress that should shorten useful chip lives. There has been a surge in aggressive speculative behavior with commission-free trading, plentiful margin loans, and leveraged ETFs. Zero-day options now make up over 60% of all S&P 500 options, alongside the GameStop meme stock craze and cryptocurrency rise. By every historically effective valuation metric, U.S. equities are extremely overpriced. The CAPE of 40 is above any level seen outside the internet bubble peak, with the market cap to GDP ratio at all-time highs and record proportions trading at over 10 times sales. | HUBS |

The focus is shifting from building computational backbone to realizing value through software and application layers. AI agents are creating concerns about disrupting legacy software applications, but incumbents can embed agents into existing systems to leverage proprietary data and customer relationships. The AI build-out is causing extremely tight supply for memory chips, benefiting companies like Micron that supply memory chips and equipment manufacturers like Lam Research and KLA that manufacture wafer equipment needed to expand the supply chain. The semiconductor complex is expected to remain fundamentally strong with potential for further acceleration in specific verticals. Software sector demonstrated resilient but normalizing revenue growth with highly bifurcated results. High-growth leaders maintained 25-30% growth while enterprise stalwarts sustained low-20% growth. Software valuations faced pressure due to fears that AI agents might disrupt legacy feature-heavy applications, creating a selective opportunity to own high-quality firms at a discount. Hyperscalers have aggressively financed massive deployments of GPUs and data center capacity using robust internal cash flows. Energy availability is becoming the constraining factor on datacenter growth, and the nature of AI investment is evolving toward more complex financing structures including alternative financing and circular financing arrangements. | View | |

FANUC exemplifies this trend as a global leader in factory robots and CNC systems that support re-shoring and friend-shoring while maintaining productivity. The company's technology underpins manufacturing across automotive, electronics, semiconductors, and precision machinery with systems that remain in place for decades. Materials have re-emerged as strategically important rather than purely cyclical as supply chains are re-engineered and infrastructure investment accelerates. Holdings like Pan American Silver and Southern Copper provide exposure to precious metals and copper demand driven by electrification, grid expansion, electric vehicles, and data-centre infrastructure. Supply growth remains constrained by long development timelines while demand continues rising. AI-related stocks remained a key market driver with companies most directly tied to AI infrastructure and monetization delivering the strongest results. The Magnificent Seven continued to dominate markets, accounting for roughly half of the S&P 500's total return. Capital investment remained elevated with spending concentrated in data centres, semiconductors, energy infrastructure, and automation. Governments and corporations are prioritizing re-shoring and friend-shoring, placing greater emphasis on supply-chain resilience across technology, manufacturing, energy infrastructure, and critical minerals. Rather than reversing globalization, supply chains are being re-engineered around strategic alignment and political reliability. This shift is influencing how and where capital is deployed globally. The transition toward renewable energy and electrification continues to drive investment in grid expansion, energy storage, and power infrastructure. Holdings like GE Vernova benefit from rising power and infrastructure demands tied to AI and electrification. Energy has become a strategic asset to fuel the growth of AI and support industrial competitiveness through low, stable energy costs. | View | |

The Fund focuses on dividend-producing equity securities, though this may limit potential for appreciation during broad market advances. The prices of dividend-producing equity securities can be highly volatile. The American economy continues to embrace AI technology, and the prospect of large increases in productivity is spurring optimism. AI-related infrastructure and power demand are driving growth in various sectors.

Analyst expectations for 2026 capex aggregated across the five largest cloud computing platforms now exceed half a trillion dollars, and these estimates have been revised 80% higher in total over the last year. Use cases for AI technology across digital media, e-commerce, infrastructure software and knowledge work are now well-established, and adoption is increasingly spreading into new, labor-intensive sectors. Global equity markets rose in the quarter, with the MSCI AC World Index up 3.4%, driven by solid corporate earnings, expectations for lower interest rates, and moderating inflation. Communication Services was among the best performing sectors (+3.4%, primarily led by strong performance in Alphabet shares). The fund focuses on global content and connectivity companies.

However, they express concern that markets have already discounted much future AI-driven growth, with $9-$12 trillion of post-2022 market cap gains unexplained by fundamentals. The aggressive AI spending has materially slowed free cash flow and earnings growth for hyperscalers. The strategy focuses heavily on dividend-paying stocks, with a large dividend contribution of 4.1% and total yield of 7.2% for the year. The manager notes that defensive and dividend-oriented sectors are now at multi-decade lows in index weight and investor interest, trading at unusually attractive relative valuations. They believe equity income is becoming increasingly competitive as money market yields decline from their peaks. The manager emphasizes that Value stocks are positioned for outperformance, noting the Growth-to-Value valuation spread is near historical extremes at nearly 100% premium versus the long-term average of 57%. They highlight extreme underweight positioning, elevated valuations in growth, and historically favorable mean-reversion dynamics as creating a compelling setup for value stocks to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns. The Federal Reserve cut rates twice in Q4 to the current range of 3.50% to 3.75%, following a September cut. The manager views the Fed's easing cycle positively for high-dividend stocks, as declining short-term rates should make equity dividend yields increasingly attractive compared to money market funds. They note nearly $8 trillion is currently invested in money market funds with yields falling from peaks above 5% to 3.7%. The manager expresses concern about elevated risk appetite and speculative excess, noting that leveraged ETFs now represent roughly 1% of total ETF assets but account for over 12% of trading volume. They highlight that retail investors now account for roughly 25% of total trading volume, more than twice the long-term average, which has historically served as a signpost of market excess and potential tops. | NSC JPM KVUE UNP UNH QCOM |

Alphabet's AI chatbot Gemini exceeded expectations and was on par with leading AI models, contributing significantly to performance. The managers are comfortable missing out on highly speculative AI investments while focusing on long-term value. Banks had a strong year due to increased lending, reduced regulation, and moderately high interest rates. American Express cardholders continue spending with high payment rates, while the Platinum Card remains desirable despite competition. Credit and banking environment remained strong throughout the period. Off-price retailers TJX and Ross returned to form after struggling during post-Covid inflation, with strong stock performance. AutoZone faced challenges navigating tariff impacts on earnings, though the consolidated auto parts retail market historically passes through price increases. Consumer spending patterns showed resilience in certain segments. Housing investments had a weak year as high interest rates and hopes for lower rates left potential buyers on the sidelines. Home builders initially held up well when rates first rose in 2022, but continued high rates eventually impacted demand. The managers expect pent-up housing demand to eventually drive performance once the market unfreezes. | RVTY GOOG UNH |

They regularly search the 52-week low list for potential opportunities rather than momentum plays. The managers believe the investment community is casting its gaze away from various market constituents that offer asymmetric risk-reward for those willing to look forward three to five years. The fund is actively investing in global securities with lower market capitalizations, believing these offer attractive opportunities that are being overlooked. They note there may be a shrinking pool of active investors with the interest and resources to conduct in-depth research on lower market-cap names. Source has 25.9% committed to private credit including called and uncalled capital as of quarter-end. The managers continue to look for opportunities to increase that exposure, viewing private credit as an attractive asset class for the fund's balanced strategy. The fund is responding to historically low credit spreads by reducing exposure to high yield and other lower-rated debt. They believe current spreads offer insufficient compensation for credit risk and increase the risk of permanent impairment of capital. The managers are downside-focused and do not share the market's optimism needed to justify such low spreads. | MSFT MTN IFF SAF FP TEL |

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.

The quarter saw massive AI-related IG issuance of $90 billion with expectations of $50 billion more in Q1. The fund expects AI to drive continued massive capital needs with OpenAI alone requiring ~$600 billion through 2029. The fund had significant losses in distressed investments, particularly First Brands (a fraudulent auto parts company) and Eye Care Partners. The manager acknowledges mistakes in underwriting management quality and position sizing. Despite setbacks, they see future opportunities in sectors facing productivity-driven disruption. The fund expects increased capital solutions opportunities as PE-backed companies face refinancing challenges from higher rates. They participated in several rescue financings and expect more zombified PE companies to need capital solutions in various structures from prefs to hybrid equity. The fund invested in EchoStar's spectrum assets which became valuable for AI inference and wireless carriers. They also have exposure to LNG through Delfin, positioning for the coming oversupply period. Power demand from AI datacenters is driving infrastructure investment opportunities. The fund analyzed the growth in asset-backed finance driven by insurers seeking yield on annuity proceeds.

The early-year AI melt-up reversed sharply in April, exposing speculative excess as story stocks began to lose momentum. ROI discipline and selectivity now define performance, reinforcing a true stock-picker's market. Small caps are breaking multi-year bases with early signs of leadership rotation beneath the surface. Small cap earnings revisions turned positive for the first time in years, reinforcing the durability of market broadening into 2026. Small caps and cyclicals trade at a meaningful discount to large caps, creating attractive opportunities where fundamentals are improving faster than prices. Earnings leadership is broadening across Financials, Industrials, Health Care, and small caps. Small- and mid-cap earnings expectations are inflecting higher after several years of underperformance, narrowing the growth gap versus the largest stocks.

The worldwide adoption of GenAI is already at 15-20% with projected growth rates for 2026-2027 almost doubling these rates. Major hyperscalers are expected to increase their capex to around $500bn in 2026, over three times their pre-ChatGPT levels. Global Data Centers currently use 1.5% to 3% of all total global electricity usage, with 5% to 15% consumed by AI workloads. The enormous demand for AI equipment results in ever-growing demand for energy, creating infrastructure challenges for projected growth rates ahead. Energy costs face upward pressure due to AI infrastructure demands, with 80% of all energy production being hydrocarbon generated. The growth rate in non-hydrocarbon energy is not fast enough, and refining capacity cannot keep up with demand. Energy inflation could feed back into services inflation if it picks up sufficiently. Services inflation has become sticky with key items such as food running at alarmingly high levels. The multi-variate nature of current inflation is different this time, with energy costs unable to sink much lower and potential feedback loops between energy and services inflation creating structural concerns. Markets are watching for equilibrium between full employment and stable inflation to determine R* (neutral rate). The front-end of the yield curve remains suppressed by easing expectations, but the long-end remains anchored to pre-covid norms inconsistent with higher debt and higher R*. This creates risk of adjustment delivered with whiplash force. | View | |

The fund views copper as undervalued relative to its role in data centers, electric vehicles, and renewable energy infrastructure, while copper mining stocks trade at traditional commodity multiples despite exposure to revolutionary trends. The letter discusses AI's massive energy requirements for data centers, estimating 500-700 thousand tonnes of copper demand by 2028-2030. FCL sees AI as driving fundamental changes in commodity demand while noting that direct AI investments trade at expensive valuations compared to indirect plays through commodities. Renewable energy systems are highly copper-intensive, requiring much more copper per unit of capacity than fossil fuel generation. Wind turbines need 8 tonnes of copper per MW offshore and 2.5-3 tonnes onshore, while solar requires 2-5 tonnes per MW, driving substantial copper demand growth. FCL revisits their 2017 crypto thesis, highlighting tokenization of real-world assets and prediction markets as the next evolution. They see tokenization enabling 24/7 global trading of traditionally illiquid assets, while prediction markets like Polymarket demonstrate superior forecasting ability compared to traditional polling. Brazilian investors have developed a false belief in risk-free returns through CDI investments due to high interest rates. FCL argues this creates a paradox where avoiding risk actually increases long-term purchasing power risk, as CDI has delivered near-zero returns in USD terms over the past decade. The fund emphasizes valuation disparities between expensive US tech stocks and cheaper alternatives in emerging markets and commodities. They highlight that copper miners trade at traditional multiples despite exposure to AI and energy transition themes, presenting attractive risk-adjusted opportunities. | View | |

Hyperscalers fund build-out from free cash flow while AI startups strike extraordinary deals with uncertain economics. The shift toward debt-funded expansion adds systemic fragility given unproven AI economics and uncertain future demand. European banks have been rehabilitated after years in purgatory, with returns of 77% in 2025. Return on equity has normalized above 12% following exit from ultra-low rates, while capital positions have been rebuilt. However, supportive factors are well-appreciated by markets, reflected in significant valuation re-rating. Non-US equity markets remain particularly attractive from a stock-picking perspective, offering less concentration risk and a broader opportunity set for valuation-driven investors. The firm maintains disciplined, value-oriented investment approach to identify materially mis-priced securities with superior risk-adjusted return profiles. | View | |

The quarter saw volatility around AI capital expenditure concerns and whether spending had ramped too fast, but fundamentals remained intact with continued demand for AI data centers and power solutions. Semiconductor equipment demand remained steady and recovered strongly following April volatility around global tariffs. Companies focused on reallocating production across geographic locations to adjust for potential tariff impacts. Memory and storage pricing improved following the 2022-2023 down cycle, with NAND/DRAM markets tightening on AI data demand. Power shortage overhangs new AI data center builds globally, creating demand for alternative energy solutions. Bloom Energy's fuel cells provide solutions that can plug into natural gas lines and ramp up power delivery quicker than traditional providers, addressing the largest constraint on AI development according to NVIDIA's CEO. High-bandwidth memory and AI chips are fueling significant investments and demand for advanced storage solutions. Western Digital benefited from increased purchase orders from major hyperscalers extending into 2026 and 2027, driven by AI infrastructure demand for high-capacity hard disk drives. Cybersecurity consistently remains a top priority for CIO budgets as non-technology companies continue increasing AI solution usage in daily operations. However, increased regulatory scrutiny on data privacy, AI ethics and antitrust could create headwinds as companies seek more security solutions amid AI adoption. | AMAT TER WDC BE LRCX NVDA |

AI adoption is proceeding rapidly with productivity gains helping offset wage pressures and containing inflation. The technology is displacing many jobs while reducing business costs, creating an almost ideal environment for stock prices. The capture of Nicolás Maduro represents a dramatic change in U.S. foreign policies under the Monroe-Trump Doctrine. This signals a more assertive approach to countering hostile regimes in the Western Hemisphere, with implications for Cuba, Iran, and China's strategic positioning in Latin America. Venezuela's leadership change may lower global oil prices and benefit energy companies and oilfield service providers. Oil prices are likely to decline further with positive economic consequences globally, boosting real household income and helping reduce inflation measures. Inflation has moderated meaningfully from its 2022 peak and while it remains above the Fed's target, pressures are expected to ease further into 2026. AI-driven productivity gains may help offset wage pressures, keeping inflation and interest rates relatively contained. | View | |

Every industry and company is being categorized as either an AI Winner or AI Loser, which the manager views as a shallow distinction. Almost every industry will need to incorporate and adapt AI, creating both opportunities and disruption across sectors. AerCap contributed 1.4% to Fund returns during the quarter. The aircraft leasing business continues to perform well as a key contributor to portfolio performance, representing a significant position in the Fund's financials allocation. TSMC contributed 0.7% to Fund performance and is highlighted as the leading manufacturer of semiconductor chips used in AI, mobile phone and other applications. The company benefits from extremely strong demand, has industry-leading manufacturing capabilities, and continues to exceed financial performance expectations with a long runway for future growth.

The industry remains in an arms race to secure capacity for training larger models, funded by big tech balance sheets. AI agents threaten existing paradigms in consumer tech and could cannibalize advertising revenues while potentially making platforms commoditized. Around a third of the Fund is invested in companies benefiting from AI datacenter buildout including Nvidia and Vertiv. The manager expects big tech capex growth of ~35% year-on-year is too conservative, with TSMC AI wafers revenue growing ~60% YoY and advanced packaging capacity growing ~70% YoY. Lower interest rates and AI's role in US-China competition could prolong this cycle. Semiconductor names like TSMC and Lam Research were key contributors this quarter, reflecting expectations that new capacity will be needed in 2026 to support AI compute growth. TSMC is viewed as a key bottleneck in the AI value chain as the only company who can make leading edge AI chips at scale. The fund initiated positions in Siemens Energy and GE Vernova, both sitting in an oligopoly supplying combined-cycle gas turbines to utilities and data centers. With US power shortages and rising electricity prices, both companies are expected to add capacity, driving volumes and margins above consensus. Five percent of the Fund is invested in defense companies such as Rheinmetall and Exosense. The manager sees the beginning of a decade-long capex cycle driven by multi-polar geopolitics, the emerging need to integrate disparate hardware systems, and the growth of AI applications in unmanned system platforms. | 2330 TT VEEV TSM UBER J |

Portfolio companies grew dividends by 14.3% over the last twelve months compared to 5.6% for the S&P 500. The firm believes dividend growth rates are powerful predictors of total return and fastest dividend growers often outperform the broader dividend universe. Since ChatGPT's launch in late 2022, the market has experienced a seismic shift with investor capital concentrating heavily in AI leaders, creating narrow market breadth. Bristol Gate devotes significant resources to data science and machine learning in their investment approach, believing in AI's transformative power. However, their focus remains on identifying high dividend growth companies rather than over-concentrating in AI themes. Eli Lilly continues to benefit from the strength of its incretin portfolio, commanding 58% of the US incretin market and exiting Q3 with 71% of new prescriptions. The company raised annual guidance for the third time in 2025, with strength expected to continue into 2026 when its oral GLP-1 drug orforglipron hits the market in Spring. The oral alternative is expected to significantly expand the market globally due to ease of use, simpler supply chain, and lower cost. Applied Materials rose despite mixed results due to AI-driven demand optimism, specifically around advanced logic and high bandwidth memory chips. Management issued cautiously optimistic Q1 2026 outlook and forecast significant uplift in second half of calendar 2026 as spending shifts back toward AMAT's strengths.

The firm has researched India's defense and aerospace industries extensively, understanding the broader ecosystem from state-controlled behemoths to private-sector suppliers specializing in aerostructures and precision-engineered components. This research forms the basis for selecting ten Indian defense/aerospace companies currently held in the portfolio. India's economy continues to power ahead with 8.2% GDP growth despite U.S. tariffs, driven by booming domestic consumption, prudent macroeconomic governance, and favorable demographics. The Modi government has enacted transformative pro-free market policies including GST streamlining, labor law overhaul, and securities market modernization. Technology titans like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have unveiled over $67 billion in planned investments, while Intel announced strategic alliance with Tata Electronics for semiconductor fabrication. Gymkhana is now more allocated to smaller-capitalization companies and less to larger-cap stocks compared to a year ago. The firm believes their portfolio of well-managed, earnings-compounding smaller-cap businesses purchased at reasonable multiples is more likely to generate superior long-term results than portfolios concentrated in large-capitalization stocks. Most India-dedicated ETFs and mutual funds are over-concentrated in IT services and petroleum behemoths that are less tied to India's booming domestic market. Gymkhana's businesses sell at very significant discounts to their intrinsic values, with a position size-weighted P/E ratio of just over 15 times forward earnings.

Unlike the dot-com era, some AI leaders are real businesses financing substantial AI investments with self-generated cash flow, though valuations for some are attractive while others may be overvalued. The manager emphasizes following value investing discipline by purchasing only companies from their MVP list with stable values at discounted prices. They focus on businesses with sustainable competitive advantages trading below intrinsic value estimates, with portfolios showing improved price-to-value ratios across all strategies despite positive absolute returns. Small Cap returns have lagged Large Cap for an extended period, with Small Cap Value performing even worse. The manager notes conversations with clients questioning continued Small Cap allocation, spotty sell-side coverage, and an ignored segment creating opportunities. Their Small Cap portfolio remains most discounted with weighted average price-to-value ratio in mid-50s. The manager owns more insurance-related businesses, highlighting opportunities in the sector. They discuss Ryan Specialty Holdings as a commercial excess and surplus insurance broker, and Everest Group as a leading reinsurance company trading at discount to tangible book value despite producing underwriting profits. Share repurchases are highlighted as value-creating when companies buy back stock below intrinsic value.

The manager believes AI is as real and transformational as the Internet, with approximately 61% of the S&P 500's return in 2025 coming from AI-related stocks. However, concerns exist about paying too much for AI businesses despite their real potential. The manager is finding tremendous opportunities in non-AI related companies that are steadily compounding their values but being ignored by the market. These 'old economy' companies are becoming increasingly discounted while AI stocks dominate returns, creating attractive value opportunities similar to the late 1990s dot-com era. Small Cap returns have lagged Large Cap for an extended period, with the manager noting conversations about whether to continue allocating to Small Caps. The Small Cap portfolio has a weighted average price to value ratio in the mid-50s, representing the most discounted portfolio. Sell-side coverage is spotty to nearly non-existent for many small cap holdings. Share repurchases are highlighted as a key value creation mechanism, with Medpace repurchasing over 8% of shares at approximately 50% of intrinsic value, effectively providing 100% returns on capital deployed.

Over $1 trillion in partnerships between OpenAI and public technology companies were announced for AI chips, datacenters, and cloud computing. However, investor concerns arose around circular funding deals reminiscent of vendor financing and uncertain return profiles. The industrials sector benefited from continued data center construction and investments made to modernize the electric grid. This reflects the infrastructure buildout required to support AI computing demand and digital transformation. Consumer reports highlighted an increasingly pronounced bifurcation, with higher-income consumers continuing to spend broadly and lower-income consumers seeking out value and trading down. This reflects the impact of high interest rates on consumer behavior. President Trump and Chinese Leader Xi met and agreed on de-escalatory moves that reversed trade restrictions previously imposed.

The Strategy sees significant opportunity as several portfolio companies are temporarily misjudged in debates about AI's potential impact. Capital expenditure estimates for major tech companies are over 50% above where they were 18 months ago, but scaling laws continue to hold and AI demand currently outstrips supply. Data and information service providers face hypothetical challenges focused on AI's potential to change competitive dynamics, leading to valuation de-rating despite solid operating results. Companies like Experian and LSEG have proprietary datasets that cannot be easily replicated by AI, with deep regulatory moats and embedded customer relationships providing protection. Cloud service revenues are accelerating as capacity comes online, with contracted backlogs growing substantially faster than revenues.

A gold rush mindset developed across the AI ecosystem, spreading to speculative corners including MEME stocks and unprofitable AI/tech companies. However, there are risks around massive capital outlays for computing power and unclear paths to returns. The market was dominated by momentum-driven stories with little regard for valuation, particularly in AI and tech sectors. 18 of the top 20 performers in the Russell 3000 from April through November were unprofitable companies. Jumping on momentum bandwagons proved more fruitful than having differentiated perspectives or being valuation sensitive. The Fund emphasizes high return businesses with durable competitive advantages and management teams committed to long-term capital allocation. Strategy holdings are positioned to consistently compound intrinsic value across market conditions, staying grounded in business fundamentals rather than short-term market trends.

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 |

Healthcare companies offer new products addressing large market opportunities while being nondiscretionary and less economically sensitive. Pharmaceuticals are particularly emphasized for novel therapies targeting large markets. The manager discusses the massive AI infrastructure investments by tech giants like Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Google, totaling hundreds of billions. However, they express skepticism about returns, comparing current partnerships to the telecom boom and dot-com era, preferring companies that use AI to improve business models rather than pure AI infrastructure plays. The fund focuses on small-cap growth companies, noting that small companies have historically outperformed during rate cutting cycles. They highlight a valuation discrepancy where small caps trade at 15x earnings versus the S&P 500 at 22x, presenting opportunities for active stock selection. | MDXH AXSM MAMA |

The narrative is evolving from infrastructure spending to productivity results, with markets likely to reward companies that translate AI adoption into real efficiency gains in 2026. Gold rose more than 64% in 2025, marking its strongest annual gain in over four decades. Demand was driven primarily by non-Western central banks and international investors seeking diversification away from US financial assets amid concerns around fiscal discipline and geopolitical risk. Silver surged 142% in 2025, its largest increase since the late 1970s, due to its dual role as a safe haven asset and critical industrial component for AI data centers and solar infrastructure.

The manager sees AI driving demand for semiconductor tools and custom chips, positioning companies like Applied Materials, ASML, and Broadcom to benefit from the infrastructure buildout. Semiconductor companies were top performers with Applied Materials up 59.6% and ASML up 55.8%. The manager emphasizes the bright prospects for chip design tools given silicon requirements for AI deployment, while also initiating Broadcom for its custom chip capabilities serving cloud hyperscalers. Trump announced the highest tariffs since the 1930s, with effective rates settling around 17% after negotiations. This triggered initial market corrections but companies adapted by flexing supply chains, with macroeconomic consequences remaining benign on inflation and GDP fronts. China had a strong year with the Hang Seng up 32% as investors warmed to signals that regulatory tightening was over. Chinese tech companies demonstrated ability to deploy AI efficiently at lower costs despite GPU restrictions, while valuations became attractive after years of consolidation. The manager focuses on high-quality compounders trading at discounts after being left out of the AI rally. They target companies generating strong free cash flow with high ROIC that can redeploy capital effectively, finding opportunities in unloved sectors and geographies like Swiss stocks at multi-year valuation lows. | View | |

The manager believes we may be nearing a Barnes & Noble moment where widespread business adoption accelerates, similar to internet adoption after 1995. They maintain strategic positioning in AI infrastructure companies with strong moats. Semiconductor equipment holdings drove strong Q4 performance, benefiting from improving industry outlooks and attractive valuations. The manager reduced underweight in Nvidia while favoring Broadcom's ASIC strategy, expecting custom silicon to gain market share in AI data centers. Following extensive research including a field trip, the manager re-entered Chinese technology and e-commerce through Alibaba and Tencent. They believe the regulatory environment has shifted from crackdown to active support, creating opportunities to buy excellent businesses at compelling valuations despite ongoing geopolitical tensions. Cloud infrastructure remains critical to AI deployment with companies like Alibaba holding 30% of China's cloud market and integrating AI capabilities. The manager sees cloud as essential infrastructure for the AI ecosystem with substantial growth runway as penetration remains below Western markets. The manager added back to Fortinet following 40% underperformance, seeing the company positioned to benefit from secular tailwinds in cybersecurity and vendor consolidation.

He compares the current AI race to a prisoner's dilemma where companies must invest aggressively to avoid being left behind, even at the risk of capital destruction. Private AI companies are raising capital at unprecedented valuations without products or disclosed business plans. The manager highlights how passive investing has reached nearly 65% of US equity assets, contributing to market distortions including reduced liquidity, increased volatility, and further concentration in mega-cap stocks. US equity index funds attracted around $650 billion in 2025 while actively managed funds saw record outflows approaching $1 trillion. The manager emphasizes their value investing approach, seeking companies that are temporarily undervalued due to setbacks or negative sentiment. He illustrates this with examples like AerCap and Naspers, where the market failed to recognize underlying value, allowing for opportunistic investments with significant upside potential. The manager discusses rising inflation expectations reflected in elevated long-term government bond yields despite central bank rate cuts. He notes that precious metals experienced explosive rallies as investors sought protection against potential currency debasement and sovereign debt concerns. Gold posted gains of around 65% in 2025, with silver rising over 145% and platinum nearly 125%. The manager attributes these gains to growing perception of potential deterioration in financial solvency of major economies and the risk of persistent inflation as governments deal with rising structural debt levels. | TCEHY SDE CN PLX FP ZEG LN ZIG LN NPSNY AER |

The combination of industrial-scale spending, still-unproven economics, and higher valuations increases the risk that expectations get ahead of reality. Amphenol benefited from robust demand for AI-related interconnect products, which now account for over a third of its revenue. Gold remained well supported against the backdrop of easier global policy and unresolved geopolitical and trade risks. The firm narrowed their long-standing underweight to gold stocks in a measured way as geopolitical uncertainty, de-dollarization, fiscal indiscipline, central bank gold purchases, and falling interest rates created a more supportive backdrop. They focused on gold-related companies with differentiated, relatively lower-risk business models. Defense contractors such as the UK's BAE, Italy's Leonardo, and France's Thales experienced pullbacks in the fourth quarter on the possibility of a diplomatic breakthrough in the Russia-Ukraine war. However, geopolitical events early in the year helped defense company shares more-than-offset the declines seen in the fourth quarter. Kraken Robotics also benefited from increased government defence spending. High-bandwidth memory leader SK Hynix nearly doubled in the quarter thanks to explosive demand for its products. Other AI-linked semiconductor companies were rewarded for continued fundamental strength, such as TSMC and Kokusai Electric. European equities were supported by semiconductor stocks among other factors. | View | |

Hyperscalers are set to increase CapEx by 45% YoY in 2026, funded largely by cash flows rather than debt. AI adoption is accelerating productivity gains and transforming business operations across portfolio companies. Private credit continues to offer 200-250bps of excess return over leveraged loans with structural advantages including direct origination, matched funding, and conservative structures. The opportunity set is expanding beyond sponsor-backed lending into financing the real economy with an addressable market exceeding $30 trillion. Infrastructure is in a supercycle driven by AI investment and US reindustrialization, creating compelling investment opportunities. An estimated $106 trillion of global infrastructure investment is needed through 2040, with 75% concentrated in digital infrastructure, power generation, transportation, and renewables. Real estate appears to be in early stages of cyclical recovery after values troughed in 2023. Borrowing costs are now roughly 40% lower than peak levels, materially improving equity yields. Secular demand remains robust across data centers, logistics, and rental housing driven by AI, e-commerce, and demographic trends. US electricity generation is on track to grow over 40% cumulatively in the next 10 years driven by AI adoption, electrification, and expanding electric vehicle fleets.

They invest across the AI build-out from chip manufacturing (TSMC, ASML) to electrical equipment (Legrand, Schneider) to cloud companies. Roughly one third of the portfolio is involved in AI build-out in some capacity. Generation focuses on quality companies with strong pricing power, indispensable products, and long-term thinking management teams. They believe quality stocks have had one of their weakest relative performances in 15 years, creating attractive valuations. The portfolio has never been so cheaply valued relative to benchmark despite faster earnings growth. MercadoLibre serves as Latin America's core digital infrastructure, operating in 18 countries with strong positions in Brazil, Argentina and Mexico.

Three businesses in the portfolio that fit this mold have committed to return capital to shareholders through buybacks or dividends. The fund believes these businesses could deliver higher returns going forward than the Magnificent 7 through buybacks. The fund is invested in a handful of metallurgical coal businesses, with two near the bottom quartile of the cost curve and all led by exceptional managers. All three businesses have some of the best met coal reserves on the planet. The fund believes there will be no meaningful alternative to using met coal to produce steel for several decades. The fund trades at a trailing P/E of 11 compared to the S&P 500's trailing P/E of 30. The fund seeks to buy capital-light businesses with high returns on equity at no more than a bit more than tangible book value. The fund believes a metallurgical coal miner or offshore oil driller that earns even single digit returns can be a fantastic investment if purchased at a fraction of replacement cost. TAV operates 15 airports in 8 countries with guidance of 10-14% annual passenger growth across its airports, which may continue for decades. TAV has high operating leverage where if passengers grow 12%, cash flow may grow at more than 2x that. The fund believes it is led by an exceptional management team and is very cheap compared to other global airport operators. The fund is invested in a couple of U.S. homebuilders who have morphed into asset-light, efficient factories with shrewd capital return policies. The U.S. is structurally underbuilt with a deficit of 4-7 million homes. The high-quality, scale homebuilders have unique advantages that could allow them to capture a growing portion of this growing pie. Traditional car dealerships are hated by the market due to concerns with the rise of electric vehicles and the perception that EVs do not carry the same parts and repair content as traditional ICE vehicles. The fund believes the market's concerns are overblown and not valid. These are great businesses with high-margin recurring revenues that will continue for decades. The fund has a position in U.S. offshore oil services. Offshore accounts for 1/3 of global oil and gas production and breaks even at levels far below fracking. Drillships are complex and expensive with no new supply in the pipeline. The fund believes supply-demand tightness can yield very high day rates for these ships. | TAVHL TI |

They argue that much of the business and financial benefit from AI will accrue to already-advantaged users of AI tools rather than providers, particularly businesses with customer intimacy, ecosystem dominance, and proprietary data. AI is viewed as the first technological shift to favor incumbents over new entrants. The manager emphasizes their focus on quality businesses with durable competitive advantages, strong balance sheets, excellent returns on capital, and high profitability. They note that quality has historically outperformed over time, citing the S&P 500 Quality Index's superior long-term returns versus the S&P 500. The current performance disparity between quality and growth reminds them of 1999. The fund converted from mutual fund to ETF structure in October 2025. The manager discusses their unorthodox approach to ETF management, using cash-only create baskets to maintain opportunistic deployment rather than pro-rata approaches. They favor buying stocks at known prices rather than receiving shares in-kind at unknown prices through the ETF creation process. | View | |

The AI chip rental market remains competitive with sticky pricing, suggesting the AI bubble has not yet burst. Survey data shows substantial increase in AI use among large American companies with 40% expecting additional AI use in 2026. Physical gold recorded new all-time highs during the quarter driven by geopolitical instability, currency debasement, and physical supply shortages. Central banks have been the marginal buyer, purchasing record amounts including 634 tonnes in the first three quarters of 2025. Gold ended 2025 with gains of 65%, its best calendar year in decades. Silver returned 54% in Q4 driven by a deepening structural deficit from exhaustion of above-ground inventories and absence of new production. Silver's transition to a strategic industrial asset for AI data centers, solar panels, and EVs created supply/demand mismatch. The US officially added silver to its Critical Minerals List, acknowledging its vital role in national security and energy transition. The Federal Reserve cut rates by 25 basis points but exposed deep fractures within the FOMC over prioritizing weakening jobs versus high inflation. The ECB left rates unchanged at 2% with President Lagarde suggesting the rate cutting cycle is complete. The Bank of Japan raised rates to a 30-year high, forcing a global bond re-pricing. Chinese equities broke out to decade-plus highs despite the country remaining firmly in deflation with no sign of consumption recovery. China's growing competitiveness across high-tech sectors including EVs, battery storage, robots and automation is underappreciated.

The top five hyperscalers are expected to spend over $500 billion on capex this year alone, with capex-to-revenue reaching 29% in aggregate by 2026. FMI questions whether the enormous capital spending will generate attractive returns and warns of potential bubble conditions similar to the 2000 tech crash. FMI emphasizes their focus on quality businesses with sustainable competitive advantages, strong balance sheets, and ROIC above cost of capital. Quality has underperformed low-quality sharply in 2025, particularly in small caps where money-losing companies have dominated. Despite recent headwinds, Quality Value's long-term relative outperformance is unmistakable and offers superior downside protection during market downturns. The firm maintains a value orientation, tracking Quality Value versus other gradients including cheap stocks and junky value. They believe buying advantaged businesses at discount valuations is a winning formula, though value has faced headwinds in the current junk rally environment where low-quality stocks have outperformed significantly. | View | |

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 | |

The shift in the yield curve in the latter part of 2023 may have overly discounted forthcoming interest rate cuts. Fed Fund Futures point to 150 basis points of rate cuts by the end of 2024 to 3.85%, which is more aggressive than the Federal Reserve's 75 basis point cut median estimate. | View | |

The macro reasons for owning gold are undeniably strong, with central banks worldwide implementing more rate cuts than hikes for the first time since 2021. There is nothing more bullish for precious metals than being forced to restore financial repression in a highly inflationary environment. | View | |

Tech companies are racing to build AI capacity through GPU chips and data centers, though whether this arms race produces adequate returns remains an open question.
