| 2025 Q4 | Jan 23, 2026 | Aoris International Fund | 0.0% | 0.0% | ACN, AMZN, APH, ATCO-A.ST, CPRT, FAST, GWW, HLMA.L, IHG.L, JKHY, MSCI, OR.PA, RELX.L, SAP.DE | AI, international, long-term, Quality, technology, value | AI drove exceptional growth for data center-focused holdings like Amphenol and Halma, while creating market perception challenges for service companies like Accenture and RELX. The manager believes AI will ultimately benefit rather than harm these service businesses, as enterprise AI adoption requires complex change management and enhances rather than replaces proprietary data solutions. The manager emphasizes owning durable, resilient, market-leading businesses with competitive advantages and capable management. The portfolio focuses on companies with consistent earnings growth records, strong market positions, and the ability to gain market share over time through superior execution. The manager describes an unusually wide valuation gap between intrinsic value and share prices, with portfolio holdings trading at an average 25% discount to fair value. This stretched elastic band effect creates attractive prospective returns as valuations normalize over time. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 20, 2026 | Harding Loevner International Small Companies Equity | -1.9% | 15.1% | 0005.HK, 0700.HK, AAPL, BHP.AX, BP.L, GSK, HSBA.L, LLY, MARS, MC.PA, MKC, MSFT, NESN.SW, OR.PA, PAN, SANOFI, SAP.DE, SHOP.TO, VOW3.DE, WEED.TO | AI, Consumer Staples, gold, growth, international, momentum, Quality, small cap | The fund emphasizes quality-growth investing that demands relentless skepticism toward market narratives and constant scrutiny of company fundamentals. They focus on financially strong, well-managed companies equipped with durable competitive advantages, operating in industries poised for long-term growth. The letter discusses how price momentum is a well-documented phenomenon where securities whose prices have risen are more likely to keep rising in the short run. When momentum takes hold, fundamentals usually fade from view while narratives are used to justify price moves. AI enthusiasm has lifted hardware and semiconductor stocks while weighing on shares of software and services holdings. The fund discusses AI infrastructure buildout and questions about the durability of demand across the AI supply chain, while also addressing concerns about AI disrupting IT services businesses. Gold is trading at its highest inflation-adjusted level in five decades, but it is a volatile commodity. Gold-mining companies have not had a great history of profitability other than when prices are unusually high, yet surging gold prices sparked a rally in mining stocks. | EVT GR HERDEZ MM 4527 JP 002891 CH CWK LN DIA IM |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 11, 2026 | Thornburg Global Opportunities Fund | 6.5% | 41.1% | 0027.HK, 005930.KS, 0700.HK, 300750.SZ, BABA, BIRG.L, BNP.PA, C, CACI, COF, FCX, GOOGL, LLY, META, NN.AS, ORA.PA, RELIANCE.NS, SAP.DE, SCHW, SHEL, T, TSCO.L, TSM, TTE | Digital Economy, financials, global, growth, semiconductors, technology, Trade Policy, value | The fund holds significant positions in semiconductor companies including Samsung Electronics, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, and Contemporary Amperex Technology. These technology firms were leading contributors to portfolio performance during Q4 2025, with the manager highlighting their role in the digital economy transformation. Financial intermediaries represent 20.5% of the portfolio, with the manager believing they should benefit from interest rates determined primarily by free market forces. Key holdings include Citigroup, Bank of Ireland, BNP Paribas, NN Group, Capital One, and Charles Schwab, which were significant contributors to Q4 performance. The portfolio includes major e-commerce platforms Alibaba Group, Tencent Holdings, and Meta Platforms, though these were among the most significant detractors from Q4 performance. The manager maintains exposure to firms tied to the digital economy despite recent underperformance. Energy investments comprise 6.9% of the portfolio, including positions in Shell PLC and Total Energies SE. The manager notes periodic fluctuation of investor confidence in industrial commodity sector businesses, with Total Energies contributing positively to Q4 performance. The manager explicitly discusses evolving U.S. trade policies and their impact on global trade flows, noting that winners and losers among multi-national producers of tradeable goods will become obvious in time. The current outlook for many global businesses remains uncertain due to new trade policies. | View |
