| 2025 Q4 | Feb 8, 2026 | SGA – International Growth | 1.0% | 9.6% | 1299.HK, 6098.T, 9983.T, ADYEN.AS, ALC, AON, ARM, BABA, CP, DSY.PA, EXPN.L, FEMSAUBD.MX, GALD, GRAB, HDFCBANK.NS, HEIA.AS, HLN.L, INFY, LIN, MELI, OR.PA, SAP, SE, SGE.L, SHOP, SRT3.DE, STE, TEAM, TSM, UL, UMG.AS, WALMEX.MX, WCN, YUMC | AI, Cyclical, E-Commerce, growth, international, Quality, Southeast Asia, valuation | SGA continues to believe the most attractive long-term AI opportunities reside with businesses building long-term value through proprietary data and integrated workflows.

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 7, 2026 | ClearBridge Investments Dividend Strategy | 0.0% | 0.0% | AAPL, ADP, APD, AVGO, GOOGL, ITX.MC, KO, LHX, META, MMC, MSFT, NESN.SW, NVDA, ODFL, ORCL, TEL, TMUS, UL, UNP, XOM | AI, Concentration, diversification, dividends, large cap, semiconductors, technology, value | AI will radically change lives, labor markets and the economy, but investors already ascribe trillions of dollars of value to AI-related enterprises while aggregate AI-related revenues are minimal relative to embedded expectations. The landscape is evolving too swiftly to conclude today's favored players will be ultimate winners, with fundamental questions remaining about LLM commoditization and revenue sustainability. The strategy's average holding has grown its dividend at 10% over the last 12 months with similar growth expected in coming years. The fund maintains focus on dividend-paying companies as part of its core investment approach and diversification strategy. The ClearBridge Dividend Strategy trades at a significant discount to the broader market with a P/E ratio of 19.8x versus 24.7x for the S&P 500. The managers value securities based on free cash flow yields and gravitate toward those with asymmetric risk-reward profiles. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 29, 2026 | Aikya | 0.0% | 8.3% | 000660.KS, 005930.KS, 1288.HK, 2330.TW, 2912.TW, 3690.HK, BBDO3.SA, CPI.JO, EPAM, HDB, KOF, NTCO3.SA, RDY, UL | AI, Brazil, emerging markets, Quality, semiconductors, valuation | The market's continued enthusiasm for AI potential led semiconductor stocks materially higher, with Taiwanese and Korean markets recording further highs.

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 26, 2026 | Harris Associates International Equity Strategy | 4.9% | 32.9% | 005930.KS, 6301.T, AZN, BABA, BAYRY, CNHI, DASTY, DSV.CO, EXO.MI, IMCD.AS, MBG.DE, NVS, SAND.ST, SDR.L, SKF-B.ST, SNY, SY1.DE, UL, WLN.PA | Chemicals, Europe, international, Logistics, Pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, value | The portfolio includes significant pharmaceutical investments including Bayer, AstraZeneca, and Sanofi. Bayer benefited from positive stroke drug trial results and potential Supreme Court hearing on RoundUp litigation. AstraZeneca was added as a new position due to its robust pipeline and attractive valuation following regulatory concerns. Sanofi was initiated based on strong R&D investment and pipeline potential despite vaccine market volatility. Samsung Electronics was a top contributor as earnings recovered due to strength in its core semiconductor business. The company's High Bandwidth Memory product lineup continues to improve under new management, positioning it as one of the world's leading semiconductor companies with a long runway for future growth. DSV was a top contributor during the quarter, delivering solid third-quarter results and accelerating the timeline for DB Schenker acquisition synergies. The freight forwarding business is viewed as high-growth and return-generative, benefiting from an asset-lite model with industry-leading management and profitability. IMCD and Symrise were added as new positions in the specialty chemicals space. IMCD is a global leader in marketing and distribution of specialty chemicals with significant pricing power and demand inelasticity. Symrise leads in flavors, fragrances, and specialty ingredients with renewed focus on profitability and cash flow showing early signs of operational inflection. The manager emphasizes value investing approach, noting that for more than a decade value investing in overseas markets witnessed U.S. growth stocks soar unsustainably. In 2025, they witnessed the unraveling of this paradigm as European equities fundamentals improved and valuation spreads began to narrow, benefiting their value-oriented strategy. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 23, 2026 | American Century Equity Income Fund | 1.8% | 11.9% | BDX, EPD, GOOGL, JNJ, JPM, MCD, MCHP, MDLZ, MDT, MMC, MU, NSC, PEP, PNC, RHHBY, SYY, TFC, UL | Consumer Staples, dividends, financials, healthcare, Quality, value | The fund continues to focus on higher-quality companies with stable revenues and profits, low indebtedness, resilient cash flows and predictable business models that are less sensitive to economic conditions. This approach is viewed as offering resilience amid continuing inflation and uncertain macroeconomic conditions. Healthcare led all sectors in the fourth quarter after being beaten down for much of the year. The fund remains keen on healthcare stocks, particularly those in the healthcare equipment and supplies industry, because they are attractively valued and demand tends to be less susceptible to changes in the economic environment. The fund's investment objective focuses on current income and long-term capital growth, with a strategy of investing in companies believed to be undervalued. The portfolio positioning emphasizes income generation through dividend-paying stocks and preferred securities. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 18, 2026 | Mayar Capital | 4.5% | 14.1% | 005930.KS, 7476.T, 7974.T, BFAM, BKNG, BNNTF, CAP.PA, CFR.SW, CRDA.L, GOOGL, JNJ, KVUE, NESN.SW, NKE, OR.PA, PYPL, SOLV, TW.L, UL, UPS, V, VWS.CO | defense, fundamentals, global, Quality, Speculation, value | The fund maintains its disciplined value investing approach, focusing on boring companies with durable competitive advantages trading at reasonable prices. The manager emphasizes that fundamentals eventually win out despite current market speculation. The manager identifies significant red flags in circular financing fueling the AI boom, comparing it to vendor financing of the late 90s. Companies like Oracle, OpenAI, Nvidia and CoreWeave participate in arrangements that effectively fund their own customers' purchases. Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) serves as a cautionary tale of speculative excess. The stock fell 60% as its premium to Bitcoin holdings evaporated, forcing the company to sell equity to cover preferred dividends rather than buy more Bitcoin. | NKE TW LN BKNG |

The memory division reported record third-quarter sales driven by AI demand. Tokyo Electron was added as a new position, benefiting from increasing semiconductor complexity across various end markets. MercadoLibre faced share price volatility reflecting a tug-of-war between accelerating revenue growth and concerns over short-term margin pressure from defending market share in Brazil. Despite disappointing performance, the manager sees substantial growth runway and disciplined long-term management. DSV shares rebounded after geopolitical pressure on global trade. Third-quarter results exceeded expectations with margin improvement and upgraded guidance on DB Schenker acquisition synergies. Management accelerated integration timeline with most savings expected within two years. Lundin Mining was added as a new position, described as a high-quality copper-focused miner with low-cost assets and strong production growth potential. The manager sees an improving demand-supply balance in copper with current valuation not accounting for company quality. | 2454 TT SALM NO 8035 JP LUN CN DSV 005930 KS TME |
