Holdings like Pan American Silver and Southern Copper provide exposure to precious metals and copper demand driven by electrification, grid expansion, electric vehicles, and data-centre infrastructure. Supply growth remains constrained by long development timelines while demand continues rising. AI-related stocks remained a key market driver with companies most directly tied to AI infrastructure and monetization delivering the strongest results. The Magnificent Seven continued to dominate markets, accounting for roughly half of the S&P 500's total return. Capital investment remained elevated with spending concentrated in data centres, semiconductors, energy infrastructure, and automation. Governments and corporations are prioritizing re-shoring and friend-shoring, placing greater emphasis on supply-chain resilience across technology, manufacturing, energy infrastructure, and critical minerals. Rather than reversing globalization, supply chains are being re-engineered around strategic alignment and political reliability. This shift is influencing how and where capital is deployed globally. The transition toward renewable energy and electrification continues to drive investment in grid expansion, energy storage, and power infrastructure. Holdings like GE Vernova benefit from rising power and infrastructure demands tied to AI and electrification. Energy has become a strategic asset to fuel the growth of AI and support industrial competitiveness through low, stable energy costs. | View | |

Oracle's December profit warning and data-centre project delays intensified scrutiny of near-term monetisation, marking a turning point that tempered earlier enthusiasm for AI infrastructure and chipmakers. Gold surged above US$4,300 per ounce in October, prompting exposure to be trimmed closer to long-term strategic targets. The metal experienced one of its steepest single-day declines in years on 21 October but subsequently recovered to reach a new high above US$4,500 in December, supported by safe haven demand and central bank purchases. Copper led performance within multi-asset portfolios, advancing 16.57% over the quarter. Following a correction in July 2025 driven by tariff-related volatility, copper stabilised and rebuilt momentum through Q4, underpinned by a structurally tight supply-demand backdrop and disruption risk across key producing regions. Trade tensions stayed elevated despite a truce, with threatened tariff escalation in October giving way to a one-year US-China tariff truce after late-October talks.

U.S. export capacity is projected to increase by 2 bcf/d in 2026, while LNG Canada is expected to ramp up to full capacity. The EIA estimates U.S. electricity demand will grow by 2.2% in both 2025 and 2026, with ERCOT demand expected to grow by 20% from 2024 levels. AI remains the strongest tailwind for global equities, driving immense investment in data centers and providing an offset to economic weakness from trade uncertainty. The technology is still in early stages of adoption and should create new investment opportunities across healthcare and consumer applications. AI agents require crypto rails as the only internet-native financial infrastructure through which they can operate autonomously. Gold continued its upward ascent in 2025, starting at approximately $2,640/oz and peaking at $4,356/oz in October before settling into the $4,000/oz range. This momentum was fueled by continuing central bank demand and increased interest from Western investors embracing gold as a strategic asset. Gold equities finally started to work in 2025 and are expected to continue playing catch-up in this commodity-led rally. 2025 was crypto's strongest year yet due to regulatory progress and institutional adoption. The tokenization of real-world assets accelerated, stablecoins gained legal clarity, and prediction markets emerged as powerful pricing engines. Crypto stands on the edge of its most transformative chapter where digital assets, traditional finance, and AI begin to operate as one interconnected system. Global infrastructure is supported by structural tailwinds from electrification and fiscal spending on large-scale construction projects. Electricity demand is expected to accelerate through 2035, led by power-intensive AI-focused data centers. The IEA expects global electricity demand to increase by 3% per year to 2035, equivalent to adding Japan's current total demand annually. The metals and mining sector has become a strategic priority in a complex geopolitical landscape, with governments pivoting policies to ensure access to critical minerals. Technology is driving strong demand from AI-focused data centers, battery chemistry advances, and electrical grid upgrades. Canada is well positioned as a Tier-1 mining jurisdiction and leading metal producer. The electrification of the global economy has been the most important structural tailwind for infrastructure. Rising electricity demand is a global trend, with the IEA expecting growth across all major regions led by emerging economies. Meeting this demand requires ongoing investment across power generation, electricity transmission and distribution. | View | |

| 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 |
