| 2025 Q4 | Jan 31, 2026 | Montaka Global Investments | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0700.HK, ALB, AMZN, BX, CRM, FND, GOOGL, KKR, MA, MDB, META, MOGL.AX, MSFT, NOW, ORCL, REA.AX, SPGI, SPOT, U, V | AI, Cloud, geopolitics, Lithium, software, technology, value | AI is driving dramatic transformation and propelling stock prices higher. The manager sees AI as creating enormous capital investments in data centers and driving growth in LLM tokens north of 200% per annum. They believe AI will increase cloud computing TAM to $2 trillion per annum over the next 10 years. The manager sees high probability of an impending lithium supply shortage as prices have been too low to incentivize new production capacity. They added Albemarle as an asymmetric value investment, expecting a price squeeze driven by electric vehicle batteries and industrial-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems demand. Enterprise software leaders like ServiceNow and Salesforce have been sold off on AI disruption narratives. The manager believes these companies have scale advantages in R&D, customer distribution, and customer data that favor them in the AI transition, making them significantly undervalued after 2025 declines. Alternative asset managers like Blackstone and KKR declined in 2025 despite strong fundamentals. The manager sees cyclical upswing potential as M&A returns, asset realisations follow, and private wealth channel growth continues. They assess the future looks bright for these businesses. | KKR BX NOW FND ALB |

| 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 |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 19, 2026 | Forager International Shares Fund | -2.0% | 15.0% | AUTO.L, BKNG, CRH, CRM, FISV, FIX, FLUT, G24.DE, INCH.L, INGA.AS, IT, LNR.TO, NUTX, NXT, PSI.TO, REA.AX, SES.MI, WISE.L, XRO.AX, ZEG.L | AI, global, Quality, small caps, technology, Travel, value | AI companies' insatiable demand for data centres and power generation led to significant returns for heating and cooling system installer Comfort Systems and solar equipment company Nextpower. Markets are increasingly questioning whether new AI-enabled competitors and solutions threaten the dominance of application software companies. The fund added three technology companies that have each halved over 2025 and hopes to add more. Many tech stocks had become expensive but recent falls present opportunities, though most still aren't cheap enough including Xero. International arrivals into Australia set post-Covid records in recent months, with August, September and October combined seeing arrivals hit 97% of 2019 levels. Travel has historically grown at a multiple of GDP growth and there is still catching up to do. Quality businesses with strong moats and decades of earnings growth suffered in 2025 as share prices had been growing faster than earnings. High multiples became a problem even for the best businesses, resulting in years of no returns or significant derating. | ARX AU ZEG LN NXT NUTX FISV |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 14, 2026 | Brown Capital Management International All Company Fund | -6.5% | 0.0% | ASML, FLTR.L, HUB.AX, REA.AX, SHOP.TO, XRO.AX | AI, EGCs, growth, international, long-term, Quality, technology, underperformance | About one-quarter of underperformance came from market distinctions between AI winners and losers. Companies viewed as AI enablers like ASML and Camtek benefited, while businesses perceived to have AI disruption risk like online classifieds and software companies experienced valuation pressure. The firm assessed AI impact using four factors: data defensibility, workflow stickiness, substitution risk, and adaptation ability. Shopify was highlighted as a leading global commerce platform serving as the operating system for modern commerce. The company showed accelerating growth with 32% revenue growth and strong international expansion. Online pharmacy Apotea was added as a new position, benefiting from the structural shift toward online channels in Sweden's pharmacy market. REA Group operates Australia's leading online property marketplace with substantial scale advantages and network effects. The company was impacted by AI-related sentiment despite solid fundamentals and operational execution. The firm remains confident in marketplace platforms that sit at the center of high-value transactions with trusted, market-leading positions. The firm focuses on Exceptional Growth Companies (EGCs) with mission-critical products, durable competitive advantages, and ability to compound value over decades. 2025 was difficult for quality growth attributes as capital flowed toward more cyclical, capital-intensive businesses. The portfolio comprises growing, profitable companies providing mission-critical products that are difficult to replace. Temenos provides core banking software with cloud-native platforms managing banks' critical systems. The company showed strong operating performance despite leadership transition, with accelerating subscription revenue and expanding margins. Xero offers cloud-based accounting software with high-recurring subscription model and broad ecosystem integrations. | TECN SW AUTO NO TEMN SW HUB AU XRO AU SHOP FLTR LN REA AU |
