| 2025 Q4 | Jan 9, 2026 | Vision Capital | -5.0% | 9.8% | 000660.KS, 005930.KS, AMZN, GOOGL, MELI, META, MSFT, MU, NOW, NVDA, ORCL, PME.AX, SE, SPOT, STX, TSM, TTD, WDC, WISE.L, ZS | AI, Asia, Cloud, E-Commerce, growth, long-term, semiconductors, technology | Manager expresses skepticism about LLMs as a path to AGI, viewing them as sophisticated pattern recognition systems that mimic understanding without genuine comprehension. LLMs face architectural limitations including quadratic computational costs, memory inefficiency, and persistent hallucinations. The manager believes a fundamental breakthrough in architecture is needed beyond current transformer models. Sea Limited represents the manager's conviction play on Southeast Asia's digital transformation through its dominant Shopee platform with 52% market share. The company has achieved an inflection point with rising take-rates and improving profitability across its integrated ecosystem of e-commerce, logistics, and financial services. Manager avoided memory semiconductor investments despite strong 2025 performance, citing historical cyclicality and commoditization concerns. While acknowledging industry consolidation into an oligopoly, the manager questions sustainability of current supernormal profits and prefers exposure through TSMC and NVIDIA rather than memory-specific players. Manager declined Oracle investment despite strong cloud growth due to concentration risk from OpenAI and high leverage. Also avoided neoclouds like CoreWeave and Nebius, viewing them as commoditized GPU providers vulnerable to demand fluctuations and lacking durable competitive advantages versus hyperscalers. | SE |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 23, 2026 | LHC Capital | 0.0% | 3.1% | DBI.AX, HUB.AX, LIFE.AX, MAF.AX, NWL.AX, PME.AX, REA.AX, WTC.AX | AI, Australia, Concentration, Financial Services, Long/Short, Quality, technology, Wealth management | The fund discusses concerns around agentic artificial intelligence including circular financing structures, uncertainty regarding returns on increasing capital expenditure budgets, and fears that AI may commoditize large segments of software-as-a-service businesses. However, they believe AI will enhance rather than replace diagnostic imaging viewers, positioning Pro Medicus favorably as AI adoption accelerates across medical imaging. The fund highlights the structural growth in wealth advisory despite declining numbers of financial advisers. Next generation wealth platform providers like HUB24 and Netwealth are capturing over 90% of incremental industry flows by offering modern platforms that enhance adviser efficiency and scalability, while incumbent providers have underinvested in systems. MA Financial is viewed as an alternative asset manager experiencing strong momentum across its platform, particularly in Asset Management which drives long-term shareholder value. The company has invested ahead of the curve to build scalable operating platforms, with operating leverage becoming evident as revenues scale over a largely fixed cost base. | DBI AU PME AU HUB AU MAF AU |

The firm maintains meaningful AI exposure through hardware and software providers with clear economic models, while avoiding areas where prices assume years of success or sustainable profit remains uncertain. Defense technology is entering a structural growth phase driven by rising geopolitical risk and convergence of military and commercial innovation. Focus on autonomous systems, space sensing, secure communications, and software that connects these pieces. Advances in AI compute power are pushing robotics forward with near-term pull in logistics and warehouse environments. Focus on companies that make robots reliable, safe, and economically compelling rather than headline makers. Energy transition is blending with new power demand from data centers, transportation, and industry, straining grids and forcing aggressive investment in power infrastructure. Expecting multiyear investment cycle across the entire power value chain. Cyberattacks have become more frequent, costly, and sophisticated as more activity moves to cloud and AI tools spread. Security is no longer discretionary but a core operating requirement and foundation for trust. Space is becoming part of everyday life with satellites helping run internet, support defense, and guide transportation. Lower launch costs and improved satellite capabilities are creating growing businesses with steady, long-term revenue. | EL FP MELI RACE IM SPOT 2802 JP SE SHOP VACN SW 2330 TT GALD SW |
