| 2025 Q4 | Feb 11, 2026 | Tweedy, Browne Value Fund | 4.8% | 21.6% | 005930.KS, BRK-A, CNHI, CVS.L, DHLG.DE, ENVB, FDX, GOOGL, HEIA.AS, IONS, JNJ, NESN.SW, NVST.SW, PRU.L, RMS.PA, ROG.SW, SAF.PA, TTE, U11.SI, WFC | defense, global, healthcare, industrials, international, Pharmaceuticals, technology, value | Health care holdings including pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies added meaningfully to returns. 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 | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 11, 2026 | Tweedy, Browne Worldwide High Dividend | 2.4% | 21.7% | 005930.KS, BAE.L, CNHI, DHL.DE, GOOGL, IONS, J36.SI, KEMIRA.HE, MEGACPO.MX, NESN.SW, NOVN.SW, RB.PA, RHM.DE, ROG.SW, SAF.PA, TFC, TTE, U11.SI, USB, ZURN.SW | defense, dividends, global, industrials, Pharmaceuticals, value | Health care holdings including pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies added meaningfully to returns. 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 Worldwide High Dividend Yield Value Fund shared many attribution themes with a slightly different emphasis. Financials and industrials contributed meaningfully, consistent with the Fund's dividend-focused orientation. The fund maintains an average-weighted dividend yield on fund stocks of 3.94%. Defense-related holdings such as BAE Systems and Rheinmetall, which had been standout performers for much of the year, fell back a bit 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. The gap in valuation between US and non-US equities still remains quite significant and should serve us well going forward given the non-US-centric postures of our fund portfolios. We believe fervently that a diversified portfolio of well-capitalized, competitively advantaged companies purchased at attractive valuations offers the best defense against market uncertainty. | View | |

The strategy emphasizes high and growing income from undervalued cash-generative companies, avoiding speculative AI capex cycles. | TTE HRL ELS COP |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 22, 2026 | Thornburg Equity Income Builder Fund / Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund | 7.0% | 37.0% | 005930.KS, AVGO, AZN, BNP.PA, C, CME, DTEGY, ELE.MC, ENEL.MI, KPN.AS, MRK, NN.AS, NVS, ORAN, PFE, RHHBY, T, TSCO.L, TSM, TTE | dividends, financials, global, healthcare, Telecommunications, Utilities, value | The fund maintains exposure to dividend-paying firms with resilient businesses and strong capital structures. The portfolio's weighted average dividend yield of 4.2% significantly exceeds the MSCI Index's 1.7% yield. Most holdings have made reasonable progress growing their bases of paying customers and distributable cash flows to support multi-year dividend growth. The portfolio trades at attractive valuations with a weighted harmonic average 2025 consensus P/E ratio of 14.3x, well below the MSCI All Country World Index's 21.6x. The manager believes these businesses are valued very attractively relative to their own histories and other assets, incorporating significant intrinsic value. The fund focuses on businesses that occupy important positions in their respective markets and tend to be well capitalized. These firms retain their market positions providing important products and services that generate cash flows. The manager emphasizes resilient businesses with strong capital structures that can maintain operations through various market conditions. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 21, 2026 | Guinness Global Energy | 0.0% | 9.0% | BP, CNQ.TO, COP, CVX, FANG, SHEL, SU.TO, TTE, VLO, XOM | energy, Exploration, Gas, Integrated, oil, Production | The letter positions global energy equities as long-term beneficiaries of population growth, industrialization, and constrained fossil fuel supply, which together support structurally higher energy prices. Energy companies are viewed as a partial hedge against inflation given their linkage to real assets and commodity pricing. A disciplined, value-biased approach combines top-down energy market analysis with bottom-up stock selection in a concentrated portfolio of large, established energy producers. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 11, 2026 | Thornburg International Equity Fund | 4.5% | 34.2% | 005930.KS, 4901.T, 6501.T, 6758.T, 8306.T, AZN, BABA, BNP.PA, BZ, CP, DPW.DE, LIN, NN.AS, ROG.SW, SU.PA, TTE | China, Europe, fundamentals, international, Japan, value | Trade tensions remained a significant theme with continuing negotiations between the U.S. and major trade partners including China, which is also in contentious trade talks and tit-for-tat tariff and procurement walls with the European Union. Technology-related industries showed strength, particularly in Northeast Asia and the U.S., where chip stocks rallied on AI optimism during the fourth quarter. The U.S. Federal Reserve cut its target rate 25 basis points in December. The Bank of Japan lifted its rate a quarter point while the ECB stood pat, creating rate differentials that played out in currency markets. | View | |
| 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 |
