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.

| 2025 Q4 | Feb 3, 2026 | Steyn Capital FR Retail Hedge Fund | 5.5% | 18.3% | AEG.JO, ANG.JO, NHM.JO, NPN.JO, PRX.AS, TEN.HK, TGO.JO | China, emerging markets, Long/Short, Mining, Precious Metals, South Africa, value | Gold prices drove a blistering rally that contributed significantly to portfolio returns and local index performance.

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 7, 2026 | Packer & Co | - | 21.5% | 0001.HK, AQN, BABA, BIDU, CA.PA, CEO, CNC, GSK, J36.SI, NE, NXE, PBR, PRX.AS, PYPL, SDRL, VAL, VIPS | AI, Asia, Cash, Defensive, energy, gold, value | The AI boom has driven global stock markets with the Bloomberg AI index up 250% in three years, becoming a core driver of US economic growth. However, the manager draws parallels to the Dotcom bubble, noting over $3 trillion expected investment despite negligible revenue generation and intense competition that may destroy profitability. Gold was the Trust's largest investment and performed exceptionally well, rising 52% for the year. The manager maintains significant gold exposure as part of their defensive positioning amid market uncertainties and elevated valuations. The manager continues to find attractive value opportunities despite expensive markets, purchasing undervalued companies like Centene, GlaxoSmithKline, Carrefour and PayPal trading at low multiples with strong fundamentals. | CA FP |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 6, 2026 | Tapasya Investment Fund | 0.0% | 23.5% | 0700.HK, ADBE, ADYEN.AS, BABA, BLDR, CMG, CVNA, FNMA, GLBE, GOOG, IBKR, LULU, PRX.AS, UMG.AS | AI, Concentration, global, Homebuilders, long-term, Quality, technology, value | The manager extensively discusses whether we are in an AI bubble, noting that AI appears to be the most significant digital disruptor of our lifetime. While acknowledging extremely stretched valuations in AI-associated hardware and semiconductors, the fund avoids these sectors due to inability to forecast cash flows confidently. The fund employs value-based investing principles, focusing on concentrated investments in high-quality businesses at fair valuations. The manager notes they often underperform during periods of extreme sectoral valuation surges but expects long-term success from this approach. The anticipated recovery in the homebuilder sector has stalled due to persistent affordability issues driven by high home prices, despite lower interest rates and strong wages. The fund maintains conviction in Builder FirstSource despite the housing market recession. | View | |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 6, 2026 | The Baird Chautauqua Global Growth Fund | 4.2% | 22.1% | 2269.HK, 6098.T, 6954.T, ASML, BABA, BEKE, BEPC, CSU.TO, D05.SI, GALP.SW, GOOGL, INCY, LULU, MA, MU, PRX.AS, REGN, RYA.L, SCHW, SE, TEAM, TEMN.SW, TJX | AI, China, growth, international, rates, semiconductors, Trade Policy, value | AI-related infrastructure demand drove materials and memory semiconductor outperformance. Fanuc showcased significant advancements in AI-enabled robotics with commercialization expected in coming years. Application software and IT services faced pressure on concerns that generative AI could disrupt traditional business models. Significant de-escalation in U.S.-China trade tensions with agreements reducing fentanyl-related tariffs and suspending reciprocal tariffs. Average effective U.S. tariff rate remains elevated at 17% versus 2-3% in 2024. Tariff pass-through to consumer prices has been more muted than initially feared but remains an upside risk to inflation. Chinese exports resilient despite trade tensions, with trade surplus crossing $1 trillion for the first time. Domestic demand remains weak with property sector downturn continuing. Policymakers signaled shift toward boosting household incomes as priority for consumption growth. Memory semiconductors delivered outsized returns as high-bandwidth memory demand for AI datacenters rewarded players in the consolidated industry.

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 26, 2026 | First Eagle Global Fund | 5.4% | 31.6% | 005930.KS, BA.L, BABA, CHRW, GOOG, GOOGL, META, ORCL, PRX.AS | AI, defense, Geopolitical, global, gold, Resilience, technology | Gold surged 65% during 2025, its largest annual gain since 1979, reflecting acknowledgment of the double-bind facing US policymakers. The price rally has aligned gold with its 50-year geometric average relative to US public debt and brought it closer to its geometric average versus the S&P 500. The fund continues to highly value gold's strategic hedge potential given current fiscal and geopolitical dynamics. Massive spending on AI infrastructure buildout has been a chief tailwind supporting economic and equity market growth. Spending on semiconductor fabrication and data centers has accounted for 0.4% of GDP growth annually since 2022. However, hyperscaler capex as a percentage of cash flow has grown from 20% in 2015 to 70% today, making the current rate of growth unsustainable absent other financing sources. Geopolitical tensions ratcheted up with US military action in Venezuela to remove President Maduro, reflecting broader disequilibrium in the global order. The emergence of the Eurasian heartland with authoritarian powers growing increasingly aligned has increased the possibility of destabilizing left-tail events across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. The fund focuses on building portfolio resilience through equities offering ballast through their lower risk character. This is achieved by evaluating stocks from the bottom up for attributes contributing to low correlations with the broader market, including strong balance sheets, high margins, diverse product lineups, long-lived assets, and contractually obligated revenues. | BA LN BABA META ORCL CHRW 005930 KS GOOG |

However, they remain cautious about AI becoming the only game in town and continue to monitor exposure closely. They note that excitement about AI has stretched beyond IT into energy, utilities and other businesses in the AI value chain, creating concentration risk. The manager remains positive on defense fundamentals and long-term growth potential despite sporadic pullbacks. They see a clear structural shift toward defense after years of underinvestment, with visible growth stretching years into the future through strong orders, high backlogs, and political will to invest in national security. Banks were leading sector contributors with strong performance from Standard Chartered and Citigroup. Standard Chartered benefits from wealth management platform growth and cross-border services, while Citigroup's transformation strategy is paying off with improved deal activity and better regulatory environment expected in 2026. The manager re-entered Vertiv given the long-term secular data center infrastructure story and strong fundamentals.

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 14, 2026 | Hardman Johnston International Equity | 4.3% | 0.0% | 0700.HK, 7011.T, AMZN, AZN, DTE.DE, GE, LDO.MI, MELI, NEX.PA, NVO, PRX.AS, PRY.MI, RHM.DE, SDZ, SIE.DE, STAN.L, TMUS, VZ, WEIR.L | AI, Asia, defense, Europe, financials, healthcare, international, Mining | The portfolio maintains exposure to defense companies like Rheinmetall AG despite short-term volatility from Ukraine-Russia peace deal speculation. Management sees structural shift toward increased defense spending across NATO and Asia Pacific nations after years of underinvestment. Visible growth stretches years into the future with strong orders, high backlogs, and political will to invest in national security. The manager acknowledges AI's long-term potential to drive productivity gains while remaining cautious about concentration risk. Companies involved in AI development remain attractively valued relative to growth trajectories, though excitement has stretched beyond IT sector into energy and utilities. The challenge is avoiding portfolios that appear diversified but are overly concentrated around AI themes. Sandoz Group benefits from strong biosimilar growth with streamlined U.S. regulatory guidance moving closer to EU model. This regulatory shift reduces development costs, enabling reinvestment into pipeline expansion and acceleration of future programs. The company plans to launch generic semaglutide in Canada in 2026 as a test case for larger global opportunities. The global mining cycle remains supportive with capex momentum improving after years of troughing, underpinned by elevated commodity prices. Weir Group was initiated as a new position, benefiting from high aftermarket exposure and secular demand drivers in copper and gold. The company is well positioned whether capex flows to greenfield or brownfield projects. Standard Chartered's Wealth Management platform has taken share from competitors and benefits from expanding assets under management. This business contributes to rising fee income that diversifies the bank away from traditional net interest income. Rising wealth in key Asian, Middle Eastern, and African markets with strong demographic growth supports the trajectory. | DTE GR NEX FP WEIR LN MELI 7011 JP RHM GR STAN LN AZN SDZ SW |
