The portfolio is positioned to capture AI value through companies providing essential intellectual property and manufacturing capability for the AI ecosystem, including TSMC, Arm Holdings, SAP, and Dassault Systemes. The portfolio focuses on high-conviction quality growth businesses anticipated to achieve consistent mid-teens earnings growth with reduced variability. Despite market headwinds favoring cyclical assets, SGA maintains conviction in quality companies with predictable revenue and cash flow generation that should become more sought after if market volatility increases. New positions were established in Sea Limited and Grab Holdings, both Southeast Asian consumer internet companies with integrated ecosystems.

Large-scale capital expenditure by global hyperscalers has driven sharp increases in demand for semiconductors and data-center infrastructure. However, SGA believes the current trend of AI CapEx growth is unsustainable and has largely run its course due to structural constraints in power availability, skilled labor, and capital availability. Several investments in e-commerce leaders across Asia and Latin America, including MercadoLibre, Sea Limited and Alibaba, faced a more competitive operating environment during the period. As long-term investors, SGA observes that competitive intensity in these markets tends to ebb and flow over shorter time horizons, with market leaders typically emerging from such periods with strengthened strategic positions given inherent network effects. The portfolio's underweight to South Korean semiconductor companies, including Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, was a key driver of relative underperformance. These stocks continued to benefit from strong AI-related memory demand and elevated investor enthusiasm. Memory chips are largely a commoditized product with weak pricing power, extreme capital intensity and pronounced boom-bust cycles that lead to volatile earnings. SGA sees worrying signs of excess and weakening lending discipline from credit markets. The scale of capital required has led to greater reliance on private credit markets and off-balance-sheet structures. Transactions such as Meta's $27 billion joint venture with Blue Owl Capital highlight both the availability of capital and the risk of excess. The sustained focus on cyclicality and momentum has driven the quality factor to historically depressed relative levels. The valuation premium for high-quality stocks has compressed to levels typically observed only during periods of crisis. SGA remains committed to businesses with pricing power, recurring revenues, and strong balance sheets - attributes that may be underappreciated in today's momentum-driven market. | OR FP TME GRAB SE BABA 9983 JP INFY TSM |

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.

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.

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 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 |

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.
