| 2025 Q4 | Jan 27, 2026 | Diamond Hill International | 3.9% | 28.4% | 000660.KS, 005930.KS, BABA, EXO.MI, ICON, NWG.L | AI, Asia, Banking, defense, Europe, international, semiconductors, value | Strong performance driven by AI infrastructure demand, particularly in memory chips and foundry services.

| 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 | |

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 |

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 |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 15, 2026 | ClearBridge Investments International Growth ADR Strategy | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0700.HK, 8035.T, AZN.L, CLS.TO, EL.PA, ENR1.DE, GALD.SW, HEI.DE, III.L, ITX.MC, LIN, NVO, NWG.L, RACE, ROG.SW, RYA.L, SE, SIE.DE, SONY, TT, UCG.MI | AI, Asia, banks, Europe, growth, international, Pharmaceuticals, value | The Strategy saw strength in holdings supporting the buildout of AI workloads during the quarter, led by Siemens Energy (electrical equipment for data centers), Tokyo Electron (semiconductor equipment), and Celestica (cloud platform technology solutions). Data centers remain supportive for earnings revisions in industrial holdings. Health care was a focus of activity with repurchases of EssilorLuxottica and Galderma Group and addition of Roche. Roche reported positive Phase III data for giredestrant and fenebrutinib with peak sales opportunities of $5 billion each. The sector has been improving after U.S. policy pressures moderated. Increased non-U.S. defense spending is here to stay as NATO evolves from U.S. leadership to more European participation. There has been rebuilding of inventories in the European Union and efforts to maintain steady defense infrastructure supply. Japan has also increased defense spending under its new prime minister. Despite investor avoidance since COVID, Chinese innovation is rapid and happens at lower prices. The next five years will see companies consolidate and dominate higher value chain positions across pharmaceuticals, battery materials, solar energy and technology. Lower valuations and higher profitability make exposure necessary. Banks can benefit from funding AI and energy transitions through new profitable loans. Heidelberg Materials could see upside from implementing decarbonization technologies in cement production. The transition creates lending opportunities and operational improvements for industrial companies. Value has worked internationally because inexpensive stocks are direct beneficiaries of enormous stimulus measures in Germany, Europe and Japan. The Strategy increased structural growth exposure through European and U.K. banks where there is a step change in earnings. Bank valuations remain inexpensive with excess capital. | HEI GR ROG SW NWG LN AZN LN |

They see extreme crowding and overvaluation in domestic banks and several ASX20 stocks, while many cyclical stocks trade at both depressed P/E multiples and depressed earnings bases, providing opportunity for large, medium-term upside for patient investors. | View | |

Germany is leading substantial increases in defense spending as Europe shoulders greater responsibility for security. Military spending in Japan could increase from 1% to 3% of GDP. | View |
