The market showed unusually concentrated focus on AI and its immediate beneficiaries throughout 2025, with limited investor attention for performance not tied to artificial intelligence. Gaming holdings provided positive contributions with Light & Wonder rebounding following technical selling pressure and Churchill Downs advancing as operating trends normalized. The gaming sector showed resilience despite broader market headwinds affecting other areas of the portfolio. Online travel platforms contributed positively with Expedia benefiting from improved execution in its consumer business and continued strength in its business-to-business segment. The travel sector demonstrated solid fundamentals amid the challenging market environment. Real estate was a significant source of pressure, particularly Alexandria Real Estate Equities which declined due to slowdown in biopharma research spending and excess laboratory capacity weighing on leasing demand and rental growth expectations. The position was exited due to ongoing uncertainty and dividend cut. | CPAY CWST ARE CHDN EXPE LNWO |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 22, 2026 | WS Amati Global Innovation Fund | 0.0% | 0.0% | 000660.KS, 005930.KS, 2327.TW, 4544.T, CGNX, CHG.L, FN, LITE, LLY, PTC | AI, defense, global, innovation, Pharmaceuticals, Photonics, semiconductors, technology | AI continued to dominate investor debate with impressive deals between OpenAI and semiconductor vendors, though circular nature of agreements reminiscent of dot com excesses gave some pause. Overall sentiment around AI capex cycle remained buoyant despite some financially fragile players seeing share price drops. Memory semiconductors emerged as key AI beneficiaries with Korean chipmakers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix contributing strongly to performance. Samsung fixed technical challenges with high bandwidth memory products to fully participate in AI growth. Eli Lilly strengthened its position as leader in obesity and diabetes medication category with injectable GLP1 products outperforming Novo Nordisk clinically and commercially. Newly approved oral GLP1 promises to unlock large incremental market opportunity. Defense stocks experienced broad sell-off due to concerns about UK defense funding and potential Russia/Ukraine war resolution. Despite near-term headwinds, long-term growth opportunities remain for defense technology companies like Chemring in energetics and electronic warfare. Clinical practice in Alzheimer's diagnostics is moving to blood tests as cheaper, less intrusive but equally precise option. H.U. Group has strong first mover advantage in blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease testing with multi-fold growth in past year. | 4544 JP FN LLY 000660 KS 005930 KS LITE PTC CHG LN CGNX |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 15, 2026 | Canopy Investors | - | - | 4194.T, ASSA-B.ST, AUTO.L, AZEK, JHX, MEDP, MONC.MI, NEM, PTC, TREX, TW | AI, Enterprise Software, global, Japan, Quality, SMID Cap, valuation | AI has driven significant market rotation away from quality stocks, with concerns about disruption weighing on enterprise software and online classifieds companies. The fund believes AI disruption fears are overdone for their portfolio companies, which are more likely to be beneficiaries than victims of AI adoption. Quality was the worst-performing investment factor in H1 FY26, with lower-quality and more volatile stocks significantly outperforming. This represents a continuation of quality underperformance reminiscent of the late 1990s dot-com era, driven by speculative investor behavior and thematic investing. Japan faces structural labor shortages driving increased mid-career hiring and workforce mobility. The country has a new pro-business Prime Minister and depreciating yen enhancing export competitiveness, though it faces labor shortages, inflation, and geopolitical risks with China. Enterprise software companies face investor concerns about AI disruption, particularly around AI agents displacing traditional interfaces and reducing barriers to entry. However, many providers digitize structured processes that AI cannot easily replace and are likely to benefit from AI integration. | 4194 JP TREX AUTO LN MEDP PTC |
