The approach focuses on risk-adjusted returns and owner's mindset investing with long-term focus on underlying business performance. Samsung was late relative to competitors in HBM design wins with NVIDIA but was awarded HBM qualification with NVIDIA in 2025 and ramped production quickly. Memory chips are ubiquitous in AI data centers and broad array of IOT devices from cars to refrigerators to wearables. South Korea is launching broad value-up reforms modeled after Japan's program, shifting governance standards from company-centric to shareholder value creation focus. The country may eventually be re-rated by MSCI from Emerging Market to developed market, with investor access and index flows beginning to close the 30-year Korean discount. Samsung has three primary lines of business including memory, foundry, and phones. The company has long been a leader in memory including NAND, DRAM, and now HBM. Samsung has focus on U.S. foundry with massive fab outside Austin in Taylor, Texas. Hyundai Mobis benefitted from share gain and electrical vehicle penetration by Hyundai and Kia, continuing strong capital allocation discipline. The company is one of the top global auto parts suppliers. Warner Bros. Discovery has been a relatively small position along with other sizeable media holdings.

| 2025 Q4 | Feb 25, 2026 | The D. E. Shaw Group | - | - | AAPL, AMZN, AVGO, BRK-B, CVX, GE, GOOGL, IBM, JNJ, JPM, META, MSFT, NVDA, PG, TSLA, WFC, XOM | active management, AI, Concentration, market structure, Mega Cap, portfolio construction, risk management, technology | Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence have helped drive notably strong performance in a handful of mega cap stocks. The concentration in tech and AI-related companies has contributed to the current market dynamics where the ten largest S&P 500 constituents account for more than 40% of the index's weight. The document extensively analyzes how market concentration affects portfolio risk characteristics and active management strategies. It discusses the implications for risk models, beta distributions, and the challenges concentration poses for traditional risk management approaches in equity portfolios. The analysis focuses on how equity market concentration impacts the fundamental law of active management, transfer coefficients, and breadth of investment opportunities. It examines the structural changes in capital markets that affect managers' ability to generate alpha and express investment views effectively. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 8, 2026 | NS Partners Ltd | - | - | GOOGL, KO, NVDA, PG | AI, Biotechnology, commodities, emerging markets, energy, global, private equity, technology | The AI build-out is capital intensive with uncertain returns, as leading companies spend gigantic sums in an arms race. Unlike the internet boom, AI requires massive capital investment with datacentres subject to rapid obsolescence. The relentless innovation could make current cutting-edge technology obsolete within years, making satisfactory returns challenging. Private equity and debt markets face significant challenges with funds struggling to exit investments at elevated prices. The industry has taken more companies into funds than can be sold into public markets, creating a major logjam. Rising interest rates and overinvestment have caused pressure to reduce prices, potentially forcing substantial losses. Hard assets offer protection against monetary inflation as governments attempt to print their way out of decline. Construction of datacentres and infrastructure in booming countries require commodities when mines have suffered from underinvestment. Competition between China and the US for strategic metals underpins the outlook for these resources. The oil market has been in three-year consolidation due to subdued growth and large OPEC supply increases. Lower prices damage future supply as producers pull back on new capacity spending. OPEC's spare capacity is limited, and while the world isn't running out of oil, it's running out of oil producible below $60. The biotech sector offers exceptional long-term performance potential despite poor performance in the 2020s. AI is reducing costs and speeding up product development, while new technologies and cost declines are unleashing a wave of new treatments. This combination can underpin a new cycle in a huge market. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 24, 2026 | Miller Howard Investments | - | - | AAPL, AMZN, BAC, BRK-B, GOOG, GOOGL, JNJ, JPM, META, MSFT, NVDA, PG, TSLA, WMT, XOM | Concentration, dividends, Indices, Magnificent 7, nuclear, SMRs, value | The US is on the cusp of a nuclear renaissance driven by rising electricity demand, policy support, and emerging technologies like small modular reactors. Nuclear capacity could quadruple by 2050, though regulatory, economic, and execution risks remain significant challenges. Miller/Howard maintains strict dividend focus across portfolios, avoiding Magnificent 7 stocks in income-oriented strategies. The firm emphasizes high current income and growth of income as core differentiators in an increasingly concentrated market. Index reconstitutions have compromised style integrity by adding growth-oriented Magnificent 7 stocks to value indices. This creates concentration risk and challenges traditional value investing principles based on lower valuations and higher dividend yields. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 19, 2026 | Carillon Eagle Growth & Income Fund | 0.0% | 0.0% | ADI, AVGO, AZN, DUK, ETN, GS, HD, JPM, KO, LRCX, MCD, MSFT, ORCL, PG, PNC, RTX, TMUS | AI, Capital markets, earnings, growth, large cap, semiconductors, technology | AI-related investment remains robust and has the potential to broaden its impact across industries. The AI super-cycle continues to provide powerful support, yet it carries risks. Investor willingness to underwrite aggressive AI spending has cooled somewhat, and the debate over whether we are in an AI bubble has increased. Lam Research benefitted from improving sentiment regarding the importance of its products within the semiconductor capital spending market. As a leading provider of equipment tied to memory requirements for AI, Lam Research could have a long and healthy path to growth. Analog Devices pushed toward new all-time highs after solid earnings gave investors confidence that the analog cycle is now beyond its bottom. Earnings growth was the clear engine of the market's advance in 2025. Forward S&P 500 earnings are projected to rise 16% in 2026 over 2025. Bloomberg projects S&P 500 EPS growth of 16% in 2026, up from 15% in 2025 with 7 of 11 sectors expected to deliver double-digit gains. Goldman Sachs Group's shares contributed to fourth-quarter performance due to positive financial results, coupled with increased optimism regarding capital markets activity heading into 2026.

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 18, 2026 | Magellan Global Fund | 0.1% | 3.0% | AMZN, ASML, CMG, GOOGL, MA, META, MSFT, NESN.SW, NFLX, NVO, PG, RMS.PA, SAP, TSM, UNH, V, YUM | AI, Cloud, global, growth, Luxury, Quality, semiconductors, technology | AI investment boom driving strong earnings growth expectations of 13-14% in 2026. Portfolio exposed to highest-quality players in AI value chain including cloud providers benefiting from increased AI adoption. Risks include potential slowdown in AI investment growth due to power, labor and material constraints. Amazon AWS showing acceleration in growth and margin expansion from increased capex spend, with notable deals to provide computing to OpenAI. All incumbent cloud providers viewed as winners from increased AI application adoption despite short-term positioning shifts. Hermès highlighted as structurally advantaged business with rare durability built on craftsmanship and restraint. Company has delivered exceptional consistency through cycles with disciplined supply, minimal discounting and limited fashion risk, insulating it from cyclical luxury demand pressures. TSMC performing strongly on continued strength in semiconductor demand for AI applications, described as insane by CEO.
