They believe high-quality businesses have historically outperformed during economic downturns and earned market-beating returns with less risk due to behavioral biases that create a boredom discount on quality stocks. | View | |

Holdings such as Roche, Novartis, and Ionis Pharmaceuticals benefited from new drug approvals, steady and growing earnings, and business models that continue to generate cash through a wide range of economic conditions. The fund continues to focus on financially sound enterprises purchased at attractive valuations where company stock prices are more than collateralized by underlying intrinsic value. The gap in valuation between US and non-US equities remains quite significant and should serve the fund well going forward. Defense-related holdings such as BAE Systems and Rheinmetall had been standout performers for much of the year but fell back in the 4th Quarter. While these businesses currently benefit from secular growth in defense spending around the world, share prices have moved ahead of underlying fundamentals. | View | |

Jennison plans to execute with fluidity in this rapidly evolving set of opportunities that cross into multiple sectors. The most interesting part of the Fund, with the strongest secular growth profile, seems to be the most controversial in the market and centers on the massive paradigm shift to GenAI. The massive data center buildout is leading to a surge in demand for alternative and traditional energy generation. This trend led Jennison to add GE Vernova to the Fund's Industrials sector for their natural gas turbine, wind, and electrification businesses. Taiwan Semiconductor rose on record profitability as AI demand continues to exceed expectations. Jennison initiated a position in Advanced Micro Devices as the team believes the use of GPUs for agentic AI applications will continue to expand and customers of NVIDIA are looking for second sources. | GEV |
