The pace of innovation is unprecedented with LLMs becoming more intelligent, costs declining 10x per year, and agentic AI task duration doubling every 6-7 months. Portfolio companies are categorized as AI infrastructure builders, providers, early adopters, and beneficiaries of productivity gains. E-commerce platforms benefit from AI adoption in recommendation engines, advertising algorithms, and customer support optimization. Companies like Amazon, MercadoLibre, Coupang, and Shopify are leveraging AI to improve conversion rates and reduce service costs while expanding into new markets and verticals. Semiconductor companies, particularly TSMC and NVIDIA, are benefiting from AI demand with TSMC raising revenue guidance to mid-30s% growth. NVIDIA continues evolving from graphics cards to leading AI infrastructure company, while TSMC maintains 90% market share in leading-edge manufacturing with ability to raise prices. Cybersecurity companies are using AI in core algorithms to better identify anomalies and block malicious traffic. CrowdStrike is seeing reacceleration in growth with new Falcon Flex offering, while Netskope continues gaining SASE market share with strong competitive win rates. Biotechnology investments focus on companies with differentiated technologies and expanding addressable markets. Argenx continues strong performance with Vyvgart sales exceeding expectations, while BillionToOne disrupts prenatal and oncology diagnostics with innovative QCT technology achieving superior accuracy. Cloud infrastructure companies are positioned to benefit from AI buildout with AWS aggressively investing in capacity and offering full-stack AI solutions.

They emphasize disciplined AI capex spending and focus on companies with sustainable competitive advantages rather than chasing AI hype. The team is adding to Chinese holdings where they find leading businesses with strong competitive advantages and attractive growth at reasonable valuations, particularly Tencent. They view China as offering better opportunities despite some headwinds in specific sectors like property and chemicals. The team is reducing exposure to India, mainly in cyclical businesses where valuations are expensive and growth outlook has deteriorated. However, they remain excited about high-quality Indian companies positioned to benefit from structural tailwinds including urbanization, demographics, and digital infrastructure. Semiconductor holdings like Samsung and TSMC are key contributors, benefiting from AI-related demand for memory chips and leading-edge processors. The team focuses on companies with strong competitive positions and visibility into future earnings growth through 2026-2027. The investment philosophy centers on identifying quality companies with exceptional cultures, strong franchises, resilient financials, and sustainable competitive advantages. The team seeks companies that can deliver attractive returns over much longer periods than the market expects. The team is optimistic about emerging market opportunities, noting that the global economy is increasingly being led by emerging markets. They see attractive valuations compared to developed markets and expect this trend to accelerate as investors seek alternatives to US markets. | View | |

Falling interest rates, rising equity prices, and improving corporate confidence are driving an optimistic outlook for deals, which should benefit advisory firms, rating agencies, and alternative asset managers. The fund continues its growth approach to investing in financial and financial-related companies, including payment businesses, financial exchanges, and data providers that enable financial transactions. The common denominator across all holdings is the use of technology and data to better serve customers and grow at above-average rates. The broader software industry came under pressure due to fears of AI disintermediation. However, vertical market software vendors serving highly regulated industries are most insulated from AI risk given their deep workflow integrations and high switching costs. Morgan Stanley expects continued margin expansion from operating leverage and efficiencies from the broader usage of AI. Bitcoin fell 23.5% in the quarter, significantly underperforming nearly every major asset class. Robinhood experienced softening in customer engagement, especially in cryptocurrency trading alongside a pullback in crypto prices. The Senate is drafting legislation to create a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency that could potentially boost digital asset adoption. Falling interest rates and federal support for housing should drive a continued rebound in mortgage origination volumes, which should benefit mortgage originators and credit bureaus. FICO launched its new Direct Licensing Program for mortgage lending, which provides greater flexibility to monetize its intellectual property. | NEPT MS GWRE MELI HOOD FICO JKHY SPGI |

The race is for AGI, with wealth accruing to whoever reaches it first. Big Tech's AI spending accounts for roughly 90% of corporate capex and contributes an estimated half of total U.S. GDP growth in 2025. TSMC represents a durable bottleneck in the infrastructure layer—the point of least slack in the global silicon supply chain. All roads lead to TSMC, with approximately 67% share of global foundry revenue and roughly 90% share of leading-edge nodes. Alphabet's cloud business made meaningful progress with revenue expected to reach approximately $57 billion (+32% YoY), while operating profit is projected to nearly double. Revenue backlog is growing faster than reported revenue, underscoring the persistent supply-demand imbalance. By designing proprietary silicon and committing to capital outlays for data centers on a financial scale attainable by only a handful of nation-states, these firms have constructed a physical moat that is, for all practical purposes, unreplicable. On Holding represents a play on the growing scarcity of the real. As digital marketing becomes commoditized and AI floods the world with generic content, value migrates toward physical community and technical prestige. On is selling membership in a curated, physical ecosystem that AI cannot replicate. | AMRZ HOLN SW NU ONON BRK.B TSM GOOGL |

Strong focus on semiconductor investments across Taiwan, Korea, and China, with holdings in TSMC, Samsung Electronics, and SK hynix. The manager believes in long-term growth driven by AI, 5G, automotive, and IoT applications, while noting recent volatility around China semiconductor trade policies. The fund maintains exposure to Chinese technology and e-commerce companies despite fourth quarter volatility. The manager expects improved US-China trade relations and technology flow resumption, believing global investors underestimate China's emerging AI and technology ecosystem capabilities. Large overweight position in India despite flat performance in 2025. The manager believes India is poised for an earnings upgrade cycle supported by infrastructure spending recovery, tax relief, and GST 2.0 implementation, positioning for catch-up with other EM markets. Added positions in South African banks (Absa Group, FirstRand) and Latin American digital banking (Nu Holdings) based on favorable banking cycles, improving loan growth, and digital disruption opportunities in underbanked markets. Investments in sustainability themes including Korean shipbuilding companies (HD Korea Shipbuilding, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries) and energy storage (Contemporary Amperex Technology) that benefit from global decarbonization trends. | NU FSR SJ ABG SJ BABA 005930 KS 000660 KS TSM |

Management has guided to approximately $10 in EPS for FY2027E and more than $20 in EPS by 2030E, suggesting significant upside potential. EPAM was initially deemed an AI loser but the market is realizing that corporations need core systems modernized before AI deployment, custom agents require high-end development, and EPAM can incorporate AI into its delivery organization. The AI sector shows characteristics of frothy environment with elevated valuations. Solar has quietly become the cheapest source of power in many places without subsidies. Canadian Solar was trading at roughly a quarter of its sum-of-the-parts value due to depressed sentiment. Solar stocks have become AI beneficiaries as solar plus storage is seen as viable option to supply clean power to datacenters.
