Companies like SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, and MKS Inc. delivered strong results driven by accelerating AI demand across semiconductor and advanced electronics end markets. Memory manufacturers in Korea were top contributors as supply-demand constraints benefit memory chip suppliers. The market expects memory price increases in 2026, further supporting performance of Samsung and SK Hynix. AI-driven demand across semiconductor end markets accelerated growth. The investment approach remains disciplined and focused on strong cash flows from quality companies selling essential products and services with good management teams creating shareholder value. The manager seeks situations where attractive valuations meet genuine business momentum, avoiding trends and distant promises. International equities outperformed after a decade of American dominance, driven by weaker U.S. dollar, more attractive valuations abroad, and slowing momentum in U.S. tech. This country and sector rotation validated the need for diversification instead of home bias, with attractive opportunities in targeted developed and emerging markets. Yara International benefited from partnerships for low-carbon ammonia projects in the U.S. and Middle East, positioning the company toward becoming an energy-transition and low-carbon fertilizer company while securing long-dated contracts. HD Hyundai Electric capitalized on increased demand to expand power infrastructure. | 267260 KS UTHR JAZZ CAP FP MKSI 000660 KS |
