Software companies are experiencing a valuation reset as investors question the fundamental value of code when AI can commoditize engineering work. The manager sees opportunities in incumbent companies that can successfully leverage AI to amplify their business models. Ecommerce platforms like Sea Ltd are protected by physical logistics infrastructure and network effects that AI cannot easily replicate. The manager argues that TikTok Shop's growth is decelerating based on alternative data, and that Shopee's margin compression is discretionary investment to strengthen competitive positioning. The core value remains in the network and distribution capabilities. Gaming platforms benefit from network effects where millions of players create instant matchmaking and attract user-generated content creators. As games become easier to make with AI, profit pools will shift toward distribution and monetization platforms rather than game creation itself. The bottleneck remains in attracting users and monetizing games, not creating them. | SE EDU |

Market sentiment was unsettled by concerns about AI investment pace and quality, with fears of an emerging AI bubble as valuations appeared to run ahead of fundamentals. The fund maintains significant exposure to e-commerce platforms like Shopify and Amazon, viewing them as critical infrastructure for global commerce. Shopify delivered strong growth with revenues up 32% year-over-year, supported by enterprise demand and AI-enabled tools rollout. The fund added United Therapeutics as a new investment, focusing on profitable biotech companies with durable cash flows. Guardant Health was a notable contributor with strong fundamentals and guidance, evolving into a multi-product diagnostics platform with progress in oncology and screening.

Robotics is identified as one of the major transformative innovation platforms that should converge with AI and other technologies to drive productivity gains. The ARK Autonomous Technology and Robotics ETF focuses on companies developing autonomous mobility, humanoid robots, and intelligent devices. Energy storage is highlighted as one of the key transformative innovation platforms that will converge with AI, robotics, blockchain, and multiomics sequencing to accelerate productivity growth and economic transformation in the coming years. ARK sees favorable policy shifts around crypto as supportive headwinds shifting into structural tailwinds for innovation. Coinbase faced challenges from weakness in crypto market trading activity, with quarterly spot trading volumes declining 9% quarter-over-quarter. The firm maintains exposure through Bitcoin ETFs and crypto-related companies. Multiomics sequencing is identified as one of the major transformative platforms. The genomics space benefited from increasingly positive sentiment following Abbott's acquisition of Exact Sciences. Companies like Guardant Health and Natera showed strong performance with significant revenue growth and clinical trial successes. Defense spending represents a significant opportunity with the U.S. Army announcing plans to purchase at least one million drones in the next 2–3 years.
