Just seven mega-cap U.S. tech stocks drove nearly 60% of the S&P 500 gains in 2025 to date.

However, the manager draws parallels to the Dotcom bubble, noting over $3 trillion expected investment despite negligible revenue generation and intense competition that may destroy profitability. Gold was the Trust's largest investment and performed exceptionally well, rising 52% for the year. The manager maintains significant gold exposure as part of their defensive positioning amid market uncertainties and elevated valuations. The manager continues to find attractive value opportunities despite expensive markets, purchasing undervalued companies like Centene, GlaxoSmithKline, Carrefour and PayPal trading at low multiples with strong fundamentals. | CA FP |

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 |

The market expects memory price increases in 2026, further supporting performance of these Korean memory giants. AI demand drove strong performance in technology companies including Capgemini Group which benefited from cloud, data and AI demand. However, Alibaba faced profitability pressure due to significant AI spending despite revenue growth in its cloud division. HD Hyundai Electric capitalized on increased demand to expand and upgrade power infrastructure, completing construction of a new Korean power distribution equipment plant. European fiscal stimulus focused on defense and infrastructure spending supported regional performance. Yara International partnered with Air Products for low-carbon ammonia projects in the U.S. and Middle East, positioning toward becoming an energy-transition and low-carbon fertilizer company while securing long-dated contracts. Chinese e-commerce companies showed mixed results with Alibaba reporting impressive quarterly revenues and growth in cloud division and one-hour delivery business, while facing profitability pressure from aggressive discounting in instant retail space. Lundin Mining announced record third-quarter revenues, profiting from higher realized copper prices in an advantageous supply-demand environment.
