Strong cash generation enables significant shareholder returns through buybacks and dividends. | TSCO.L |

Their investments in merchandising and distribution are key competitive advantages in a world of tariffs and potential inflation. The company's prospects are bright, especially if we do ever see a rise in unemployment, which tends to benefit discount stores. Healthcare stocks have broadly underperformed the market since the election of President Trump, due to a plethora of regulatory, pricing and tariff risks. However, the distribution model has proven its strong resilience, with companies having meaningfully reduced their dependence on drug pricing. They are in effect a toll road on the US healthcare system and the opposite of economic rent-seeking businesses. Covid, somewhat ironically given the cancellation of so many flights, impacted the industry positively, as around 10% of aircraft were withdrawn from the market due to bankruptcies. Moreover, post-Covid supply chain shocks at Boeing and Airbus mean that the fleet is not going to be replaced any time soon. Ryanair's cost advantage almost doubled from levels in 2019. Google would be best positioned in an AI world, given its vertically integrated model and its pedigree in AI. The AI revenue model is clearly highly uncertain and far from guaranteed, but the likely attributes of winners in this space are data, processing power and distribution. Google dominates all three. Investing in physical assets in a world with an infrastructure deficit, and the potential resurgence of inflation, is very appealing. The requirement for renewed infrastructure investment in Europe is in the early stages, and competition will remain low giving both Vinci and Eiffage a meaningful competitive advantage. Combining low valuations and high cash conversion, our companies will generate around a 7% of their market cap in free cash flow. We expect them to pay an average dividend of 2.6% and are committed to share buybacks of around the same level. This is a 5% annual tailwind to the portfolio's fundamental growth outlook over the coming years. | ICE JPM GOOGL RYAAY RPRX MCK AZO DLTR |

Australian bond yields increased significantly with three year bonds rising over 60 basis points and 10 year bonds almost 50 basis points, representing a shift from rate cut expectations to multiple rate increase expectations in 2026. The fund increased exposure to fixed interest rates during the quarter as markets became overly optimistic about cash rate increases in 2026. Management believes multiple rate increases would put notable downward pressure on the economy given cost-of-living pressures and higher house prices remain issues. | View | |

The valuation gap is evident across multiple metrics including price/earnings, price/cash flow, and enterprise value/sales. Historically, such discount levels often preceded attractive relative returns for value stocks over subsequent three- to five-year periods. Exposure to emerging markets helped returns, led by South Korean Samsung Electronics, Mexico's Cemex, and Erste Group Bank operating across emerging Europe. Leading contributors for the year included emerging market holdings such as Alibaba, Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor, Brazil's Embraer and Mexico-based Cemex. The portfolio continues to have larger weighting to select emerging markets, particularly Mexico, South Korea, and Brazil. National Grid has strategically repositioned its asset base toward electricity networks, reducing exposure to gas and aligning with long-term energy transition trends. Over the past decade, roughly 75% of its regulated asset base is in electricity, expected to rise to 80% by 2029, supported by structural growth in electrification and renewable integration. The company's position as a critical enabler of decarbonization provides attractive risk-adjusted returns. Mondi is a leading European producer of corrugated packaging, containerboard, kraft paper, and uncoated fine paper with strong presence in Eastern and Western Europe. Secular trends such as sustainability, convenience, and the shift from plastic to paper underpin steady growth in fiber-based packaging. The company's cost leadership, strong positioning in high-barrier-to-entry kraft paper market, and integrated operations provide competitive advantage. | TSCO LN NG LN MNDI LN |

Defense companies continue to expand globally with European governments investing for security independence outside NATO agreements. The Middle East has emerged as an opportunity area for Korean defense companies. Utilities and grid modernization were areas of strength. National Grid and SSE contributed positively reflecting investor confidence in regulated asset bases and accelerating investment in grid modernization. Elia Group is supported by significant acceleration in capital investment across German and Belgian electricity grids. The portfolio has exposure to electrification trends through companies like LS Electric benefiting from global spending on grid modernization and power transmission infrastructure. CATL provides exposure to battery products for electric vehicles and energy storage systems aligned with long-duration electrification tailwinds. Samsung Electronics provided exposure to AI infrastructure growth as a direct beneficiary of high demand for AI-related chips including DRAM and HBM. Samsung's sixth-generation HBM4 semiconductor recorded the highest operating speed in technical tests, boosting sentiment toward semiconductor manufacturers. | MELI 300750 CH MNC TSCO LN 005930 KS SSE LN NG LN 010120 KS 079550 KS 012450 KS |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 18, 2026 | T. Bailey Multi-Asset Dynamic Fund | 3.5% | 13.9% | AZN.L, BYTS.L, CKN.L, EXPN.L, HIK.L, HLMA.L, IMI.L, ITRK.L, LLOY.L, MAN.L, MNDI.L, NWG.L, ORCL, ROR.L, TSCO.L | AI, Central Banks, Copper, diversification, gold, Multi-Asset, Trade Policy, UK Budget | Artificial intelligence shifted from growth to returns on capital as earnings and guidance highlighted rapidly rising infrastructure spending. 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. After experiencing one of its steepest single-day declines in years on 21 October, the metal subsequently recovered to reach a new high above US$4,500 in December, supported by falling bond yields and growing expectations of rate cuts. Copper performed well this quarter, rising 16.57%, with demand remaining resilient supported by ongoing electrification and infrastructure spend. Supply stayed relatively tight due to limited new mine capacity and periodic disruptions, while improving risk sentiment and pockets of inventory rebuilding provided additional support. 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. This eased near-term supply-chain risk but left strategic issues unresolved, with stockpiling activity providing support as market participants hedged against further tariff uncertainty. | View | |

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 | |
