2025 Q4	Feb 22, 2026	Unconventional Value	0.0%	0.0%	AMZN, HIMS, PGY, PL, RELY, SPIR, THRY, UPST, WISE.L, WU, XMTR	AI, Fintech, growth, SaaS, Satellites, small cap, technology, value	AI is viewed as a technology enabler that will accelerate product development and create tailwinds for existing businesses rather than replace human judgment. The manager believes AI will never replace human judgment and sees it as enhancing rather than disrupting core investment strategies. Planet's satellite constellation and daily Earth imaging capability represents a unique infrastructure play. The manager believes Planet is building the default system of record for monitoring Earth, with the daily scan providing infinitely scalable data distribution at zero marginal cost. Remitly's digital remittance platform is taking market share from legacy players like Western Union. The business model relies on acquiring customers via digital channels and earning fees on repeat transactions, with scale benefits improving economics over time. Thryv represents a business model transition from legacy marketing services to SaaS, targeting small businesses moving up-market. The strategy focuses on converting legacy customers to the SaaS platform and expanding functionality for larger businesses with more complex needs.	RELY THRY PL	View
2025 Q4	Jan 9, 2026	Vision Capital	-5.0%	9.8%	000660.KS, 005930.KS, AMZN, GOOGL, MELI, META, MSFT, MU, NOW, NVDA, ORCL, PME.AX, SE, SPOT, STX, TSM, TTD, WDC, WISE.L, ZS	AI, Asia, Cloud, E-Commerce, growth, long-term, semiconductors, technology	Manager expresses skepticism about LLMs as a path to AGI, viewing them as sophisticated pattern recognition systems that mimic understanding without genuine comprehension. LLMs face architectural limitations including quadratic computational costs, memory inefficiency, and persistent hallucinations. The manager believes a fundamental breakthrough in architecture is needed beyond current transformer models. Sea Limited represents the manager's conviction play on Southeast Asia's digital transformation through its dominant Shopee platform with 52% market share. The company has achieved an inflection point with rising take-rates and improving profitability across its integrated ecosystem of e-commerce, logistics, and financial services. Manager avoided memory semiconductor investments despite strong 2025 performance, citing historical cyclicality and commoditization concerns. While acknowledging industry consolidation into an oligopoly, the manager questions sustainability of current supernormal profits and prefers exposure through TSMC and NVIDIA rather than memory-specific players. Manager declined Oracle investment despite strong cloud growth due to concentration risk from OpenAI and high leverage. Also avoided neoclouds like CoreWeave and Nebius, viewing them as commoditized GPU providers vulnerable to demand fluctuations and lacking durable competitive advantages versus hyperscalers.	SE	View
2025 Q4	Jan 21, 2026	VT Holland Advisors Equity Fund	0.0%	0.0%	AMZN, JD2.L, META, NU, TSM, WISE.L	AI, Compounding, global, long-term, Owner Managers, Quality	The fund focuses on great companies with sustainable competitive advantages, run by brilliant owner managers, bought at attractive prices. These businesses have enduring moats that protect excellent returns on invested capital and create lasting customer loyalty through win-win outcomes. Manager sees AI as potentially solving the productivity growth problem that has plagued western economies for 20 years. Views Amazon, TSMC, and Meta as portfolio beneficiaries, with Amazon particularly well-positioned as a trusted supplier of AI solutions through AWS. Amazon highlighted as a standout investment that looks somewhat forgotten, with its AWS business providing a unique position as a trusted, Scale Economy Shared supplier to large organizations seeking AI-powered solutions.

2025 Q4	Jan 19, 2026	Forager Australian Shares Fund	-1.9%	24.8%	ARX.AX, BVS.AX, CAT.AX, CCL.AX, CRH, EML.AX, FISV, FIX, IEL.AX, INCH.L, INGA.AS, LNR.TO, MAH.AX, NUTX, NXT, NZX.NZ, OFX.AX, PLT.AX, PPS.AX, WISE.L, ZEG.L	Australia, dispersion, Mining, Quality, small caps, technology, Tourism, value	Small cap stocks significantly outperformed large caps in 2025, with the Small Ordinaries returning almost 25% versus 10% for the All Ordinaries. Small resources companies drove much of this outperformance with a 73% return, while small industrials delivered a more modest 9% return. Mining services investments like Macmahon benefited from enthusiasm for gold, silver and copper, with the company's share price almost doubling in 2025 after almost a decade of mediocre returns. New contracts for civil infrastructure acquisition Decmil position the company well for future revenue guidance. Australian tourism is finally showing signs of recovery with international arrivals hitting 97% of 2019 levels in recent months. Travel has historically grown at a multiple of GDP growth and there is still catching up to do. Tourism stocks remain very cheap on recovered earnings expectations. AI enthusiasm drove strong performance in tech-heavy indices, but also created concerns about software companies' competitive moats. The theory that AI diminishes software value through 'vibe coding' is one the manager is willing to bet against at the right price, particularly for established platforms with security and reliability advantages. Quality businesses with strong moats and decades of earnings growth suffered in 2025 as share prices had been growing faster than earnings. High multiples became problematic even for the best businesses, resulting in years of no returns while earnings catch up or significant derating if both earnings and multiples come into question.

2025 Q4	Jan 19, 2026	Forager International Shares Fund	-2.0%	15.0%	AUTO.L, BKNG, CRH, CRM, FISV, FIX, FLUT, G24.DE, INCH.L, INGA.AS, IT, LNR.TO, NUTX, NXT, PSI.TO, REA.AX, SES.MI, WISE.L, XRO.AX, ZEG.L	AI, global, Quality, small caps, technology, Travel, value	AI companies' insatiable demand for data centres and power generation led to significant returns for heating and cooling system installer Comfort Systems and solar equipment company Nextpower. Markets are increasingly questioning whether new AI-enabled competitors and solutions threaten the dominance of application software companies. The fund added three technology companies that have each halved over 2025 and hopes to add more. Many tech stocks had become expensive but recent falls present opportunities, though most still aren't cheap enough including Xero. International arrivals into Australia set post-Covid records in recent months, with August, September and October combined seeing arrivals hit 97% of 2019 levels. Travel has historically grown at a multiple of GDP growth and there is still catching up to do. Quality businesses with strong moats and decades of earnings growth suffered in 2025 as share prices had been growing faster than earnings. High multiples became a problem even for the best businesses, resulting in years of no returns or significant derating.	ARX AU ZEG LN NXT NUTX FISV	View
2025 Q4	Jan 16, 2026	Ennismore Global Equity Fund	-4.1%	4.0%	3994.T, ACP.WA, AUTO.L, BCG.L, FORTY.TA, PDX.ST, PRJ.WA, SPX.L, STC.L, WISE.L	AI, Classifieds, disruption, global, Long/Short, small caps, technology	The year's dominant theme has been physical vs. digital, with AI disruption fears broadening beyond obvious early casualties to wider sectors including software, digital advertising, and business information. The manager provides extensive analysis of AI disruption risks to classified platforms, concluding that while the bear case is coherent, it overstates key dynamics and underestimates structural barriers protecting incumbents. The fund holds eight long positions in classifieds representing 11% of NAV. Share prices are down 30-50% over six months as the market prices in AI disruption risks. The manager argues the bear case is substantially wrong, citing verified inventory advantages, multi-sided lock-in effects, and partnership rather than displacement as the natural structure. Watson Marlow experienced a Covid-driven boom-bust cycle followed by multi-year inventory unwind that stabilized in 2025. Destocking has ended across the sector with companies like Sartorius Stedim, Danaher, and Merck reporting solid growth. The manager estimates biopharma sales could grow 30% in 2026.

2025 Q4	Jan 15, 2026	Baillie Gifford -International Concentrated Growth	-6.7%	16.7%	0700.HK, 1211.HK, 1810.HK, 2413.T, 3690.HK, ADYEN.AS, ASML, ATCO-A.ST, BABA, BNTX, CPNG, DHER.DE, KER.PA, KINV-B.ST, MELI, MRNA, NU, NVDA, NVO, OCDO.L, OR.PA, PDD, RACE, RMS.PA, SAP, SE, SHOP, SPOT, TSLA, TSM, WISE.L	AI, concentrated, E-Commerce, growth, international, semiconductors, technology	Artificial intelligence continues to drive rapid operational progress across portfolio companies, with TSMC benefiting from AI-led demand and advanced nodes accounting for 74% of wafer revenue. ASML sees increasing lithography intensity driven by artificial intelligence. The managers view compute and generative AI as accelerating across industries as a key structural change driving economies over the next decade. E-commerce continues to reshape retail through greater convenience and lower costs, with portfolio companies like MercadoLibre, Shopify, and Sea Limited representing dominant positions in their respective markets. Despite near-term margin pressures from investments in logistics and fulfillment, the managers remain confident in the long-term digitization trend and competitive positioning of these platforms. The semiconductor sector shows strong momentum with TSMC reporting over 40% year-on-year revenue growth and ASML seeing substantial EUV demand with expectations for 15% sales growth in 2025. The managers emphasize the irreplaceable technology leadership and competitive moats of these companies as compute intensity rises globally. Digital media consumption continues progressing with Spotify demonstrating strong operating leverage, reaching 713 million users and 281 million subscribers while expanding operating margins to mid-teens levels. The platform's ecosystem depth and innovation strengthen its competitive position as media digitization advances.		View
2025 Q4	Jan 14, 2026	Longriver Investment Partners	5.8%	17.8%	0700.HK, 3639.HK, 9435.T, ALAB.L, AMD, AMZN, CSU.TO, FUTU, GAW.L, META, NVDA, PDD, RELY, STRP, TCOM, TSM, WISE.L	Asia, Concentration, gaming, global, long-term, payments, semiconductors, value	Wise represents the most asymmetric investment in the portfolio, taking market share from legacy correspondent banking through cheaper, faster, and more transparent infrastructure. The company is evolving from a remittance app into a global financial services platform with three reinforcing routes to market: Consumer, Business and Platform. TSMC was highlighted as both a top contributor in 2025 and the largest positive contribution since inception at ~16ppt of gross returns. The company exemplifies the fund's approach of finding businesses that can reinvest well over the long term. Games Workshop was identified as a largest contributor in 2025 and also contributed meaningfully in 2024, demonstrating that patience pays when a business is delivering consistent results over multiple years.

2025 Q4	Jan 12, 2026	Kernow Asset Management	0.0%	16.4%	CARD.L, CMCX.L, KIST.L, MTRO.L, SAGA.L, SMWH.L, STB.L, WISE.L	Banking, contrarian, Data centers, Long/Short, oil, Uk, value	The fund demonstrates classic value investing principles, buying companies trading below book value. Secure Trust Bank trades at half its book value, effectively allowing investors to buy £1 for 50p. The contrarian approach of buying when oil dropped 20% and others are selling exemplifies value discipline. Significant exposure to UK banking sector with Secure Trust Bank, Metro Bank Holdings, and CMC Markets representing major positions. Secure Trust Bank's division sale at premium to book value and new lending strategy announcement expected at Capital Markets Day are key catalysts. Despite oil dropping 20% in 2025 and Trafigura expecting further declines amid supply glut, the fund maintains contrarian positioning. Kistos doubled oil and gas production through Middle East acquisition, creating what the manager views as the most mispriced stock in the portfolio. Shorted Fermi, a £12bn AI data centre IPO, betting against the peak of AI data centre euphoria. The thesis relied on political shifts and tech breakthroughs reshaping the landscape. The stock dropped 70% within three months, validating the short position.	MICC LN FRMI LN CARD LN KIST LN STB LN	View
