| 2025 Q4 | Jan 5, 2026 | The Compounding Tortoise | 0.0% | -2.9% | BRO, HEI, TJX, TVK.TO | earnings, growth, long-term, Quality, Roiic, value | The manager focuses on companies with high returns on incremental invested capital, good growth, and embedded optionality. Portfolio-weighted NOPAT per share growth has been 12.5% per annum over the past two years. The challenge is finding companies that tick all quality growth boxes, especially when attractively priced. Portfolio-weighted earnings growth (NOPAT per share) has been 12.5% per annum over two years. For 2026, the manager estimates portfolio-weighted earnings growth will be about 16%, supported by low-30s percent ROIIC.

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 20, 2026 | The Bristol Gate Canadian Equity | 3.4% | 7.4% | CLS.TO, CM.TO, DOL.TO, EFN.TO, ENGH.TO, EQB.TO, FSV.TO, L.TO, OTEX.TO, PBH.TO, PET.TO, RY.TO, SHOP.TO, TFII.TO, TIH.TO, TRI.TO, TVK.TO | Banking, Canada, commodities, Copper, dividends, gold, materials, value | Bristol Gate focuses on companies with consistent high dividend growth supported by robust free cash flow and disciplined capital allocation. The firm believes dividend growth rates are powerful predictors of total return, with fastest dividend growers often outperforming the broader dividend-growth universe. Several portfolio transactions were driven by deteriorating dividend growth prospects. Gold finished up 67.41% in 2025, the strongest annual return since 1979. Gold benefitted from multiple underlying fundamental and macro drivers, pushing the metal meaningfully higher. The portfolio's underweight and lack of exposure to gold/silver miners was a primary detractor from relative performance. Copper gained over 42% in 2025 and continued its move higher after bottoming during the pandemic. Copper finished up 21.43% in Q4 alone, benefitting from multiple underlying fundamental and macro drivers. The metal's strong performance contributed to Materials sector dominance. | TFII CN CM CN PET CN RY CN OTEX CN TRI CN FSV TVK CN |

The manager emphasizes that this segment remains materially underfollowed and inefficient, providing opportunities for patient and flexible capital to be rewarded. The investment approach centers on ensuring appropriate compensation for risks taken rather than avoiding risk altogether. The manager focuses on disciplined portfolio construction anchored in business fundamentals and clear assessment of downside risk. Top contributors included Groupe Dynamite, a founder-led specialty apparel retailer operating the Garage and Dynamite banners, demonstrating the portfolio's exposure to retail businesses with strong fundamentals. | View | |
