The Whisky Portfolio held significant exposure to gold mining stocks and silver, which was reduced from 38% in October to 20.6% as precious metals enter a more volatile phase. The manager emphasizes finding value across countries, asset classes, and sectors, focusing on deep value opportunities. GMO forecasts favor deep value investing, especially in small-caps in Japan and emerging markets. The approach consistently seeks opportunities backed by fundamental value rather than following momentum. The dollar had a weak year in 2025, with the Euro rising 13.4%, Pound 7.6%, and Renminbi 4.4% against it. This weak dollar was a tailwind for stockmarkets and particularly beneficial for gold prices, while Bitcoin fell despite normally being inversely sensitive to dollar strength. Japan remains a high-conviction overweight position. The normalisation of the bond market with a cheap currency should lead to strong long-term performance. Japanese equities have been the worst place to invest since 1990, and this should change as yields rise at the fastest pace in years. The manager is focused on broadening exposure to industrial metals and eventually other commodities including energy and agriculture. Commodities tend to move as a group, and this cycle is expected to be no different. The BlackRock Mining Trust returned 67% as mining stocks had their best run since 2016. The ByteTree Quality Portfolio focuses on the highest quality companies with very high conviction in their future performance that could reasonably be held for decades. The discipline of what not to invest in is just as important as what to invest in, especially given current market valuations. | View | |

The landscape is evolving too swiftly to conclude today's favored players will be ultimate winners, with fundamental questions remaining about LLM commoditization and revenue sustainability. The strategy's average holding has grown its dividend at 10% over the last 12 months with similar growth expected in coming years. The fund maintains focus on dividend-paying companies as part of its core investment approach and diversification strategy. The ClearBridge Dividend Strategy trades at a significant discount to the broader market with a P/E ratio of 19.8x versus 24.7x for the S&P 500. The managers value securities based on free cash flow yields and gravitate toward those with asymmetric risk-reward profiles. | View | |

They focus on financially strong, well-managed companies equipped with durable competitive advantages, operating in industries poised for long-term growth. The letter discusses how price momentum is a well-documented phenomenon where securities whose prices have risen are more likely to keep rising in the short run. When momentum takes hold, fundamentals usually fade from view while narratives are used to justify price moves. AI enthusiasm has lifted hardware and semiconductor stocks while weighing on shares of software and services holdings. The fund discusses AI infrastructure buildout and questions about the durability of demand across the AI supply chain, while also addressing concerns about AI disrupting IT services businesses. Gold is trading at its highest inflation-adjusted level in five decades, but it is a volatile commodity. Gold-mining companies have not had a great history of profitability other than when prices are unusually high, yet surging gold prices sparked a rally in mining stocks. | EVT GR HERDEZ MM 4527 JP 002891 CH CWK LN DIA IM |

The manager emphasizes that fundamentals eventually win out despite current market speculation. The manager identifies significant red flags in circular financing fueling the AI boom, comparing it to vendor financing of the late 90s. Companies like Oracle, OpenAI, Nvidia and CoreWeave participate in arrangements that effectively fund their own customers' purchases. Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) serves as a cautionary tale of speculative excess. The stock fell 60% as its premium to Bitcoin holdings evaporated, forcing the company to sell equity to cover preferred dividends rather than buy more Bitcoin. | NKE TW LN BKNG |
