| 2025 Q4 | Jan 7, 2026 | ByteTree Asset Management | 0.0% | 0.0% | BARRY.SW, BHMG.L, BRWM.L, DEO, NESN.SW, PHP.L, RCP.L | commodities, diversification, Dollar, global, gold, Japan, Quality, value | Gold beat all major equity markets in 2025, driven primarily by geopolitical concerns and record purchases by the People's Bank of China seeking neutral reserve assets. The Whisky Portfolio held significant exposure to gold mining stocks and silver, which was reduced from 38% in October to 20.6% as precious metals enter a more volatile phase. The manager emphasizes finding value across countries, asset classes, and sectors, focusing on deep value opportunities. GMO forecasts favor deep value investing, especially in small-caps in Japan and emerging markets. The approach consistently seeks opportunities backed by fundamental value rather than following momentum. The dollar had a weak year in 2025, with the Euro rising 13.4%, Pound 7.6%, and Renminbi 4.4% against it. This weak dollar was a tailwind for stockmarkets and particularly beneficial for gold prices, while Bitcoin fell despite normally being inversely sensitive to dollar strength. Japan remains a high-conviction overweight position. The normalisation of the bond market with a cheap currency should lead to strong long-term performance. Japanese equities have been the worst place to invest since 1990, and this should change as yields rise at the fastest pace in years. The manager is focused on broadening exposure to industrial metals and eventually other commodities including energy and agriculture. Commodities tend to move as a group, and this cycle is expected to be no different. The BlackRock Mining Trust returned 67% as mining stocks had their best run since 2016. The ByteTree Quality Portfolio focuses on the highest quality companies with very high conviction in their future performance that could reasonably be held for decades. The discipline of what not to invest in is just as important as what to invest in, especially given current market valuations. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 20, 2026 | OAM European Value Fund | - | - | 096770.KS, BSRT.L, DAN.MI, HANA.L, HAUTO.OL, HVPE.L, NN.AS, NRO.PA, OCI.L, PIN.L, RCP.L, RTW.L, SBER.ME, SIBN.ME, STAN.L, VIG.VI, WALW.OL, WWI.OL, YAR.OL | Biotechnology, Discounts, Europe, insurance, NAV, private equity, shipping, value | Fund focuses on buying shares in decent operating businesses at significant discounts to intrinsic value. European value stocks had their largest outperformance versus growth stocks in 30 years, beating them by 19 percentage points in 2025. Manager believes value will continue to outperform growth during remainder of this decade. Major holdings include NN Group (Dutch life and non-life insurance) and Vienna Insurance Group (leading in Central and Eastern Europe). VIG was best performing stock with 158% return, benefiting from acquisition of Nürnberger and expansion opportunities in Eastern European markets with low insurance penetration rates. Fund had exceptional exposure to car carrier industry through Wallenius Wilhelmsen, Höegh Autoliners, and Wilhelmsen family holding company. Generated 110% IRR over 5 years before exiting operating companies due to expected decline in freight rates as new supply enters market. New investment in RTW Biotech reflects belief that gene splicing and editing will be the next big thing over coming generation. Biotech emerging from bear market with increased M&A activity as Big Pharma faces patent cliff. RTW positioned globally including China's rapidly growing biotech sector. Fund invests in listed private equity funds trading at significant discounts to NAV. Holdings include Pantheon International and HarbourVest Global Private Equity at 26% discounts versus typical 10% discounts in secondaries market. M&A activity picking up, underscoring valuations. | RTW LN DAN IM VIG AV STAN LN |
