The manager discusses the sustained momentum in AI development, with companies like OpenAI, xAI, Anthropic raising billions for infrastructure spending. New large language models have launched showing significant improvements, particularly in creating chains of thought to simulate human reasoning.

The fund expects continued outperformance through the balance of this decade driven by foreign central bank purchases, persistent inflation, declining U.S. relative power, and gold's role as a neutral reserve asset. Physical gold stores in the West are declining while debt-to-GDP ratios worldwide have never been higher. | View | |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 22, 2026 | Sands Capital Emerging Markets Growth Fund | 0.1% | 21.6% | 000660.KS, 005930.KS, 0700.HK, 1211.HK, 122870.KS, 1299.HK, 1810.HK, 2269.HK, 2454.TW, 300750.SZ, 3690.HK, 4966.TW, 500570.BO, 532978.BO, APHS.NS, ASML, BABA, BBCA.JK, CPNG, DIDI, DNP.WA, FPT.VN, FTA, GLOB, GRAB, HDB, HDFCLIFE.NS, HTHT, ICT.PS, KSPI.L, MELI, NU, PHNX.NS, RADL3.SA, SE, TSM, WEGE3.SA, WMMVY | AI, China, E-Commerce, emerging markets, growth, Memory Chips, semiconductors, technology | AI is spreading across industries, reshaping business models and driving market leadership. The firm sees an ongoing AI boom rather than a full bubble, with meaningful exposure in semiconductors and digital advertising while maintaining valuation discipline. Memory chip cycle strengthening fueled by growing AI demand. SK hynix and Samsung are effectively sold out of memory inventory for 2026 with limited capacity in 2027. High-bandwidth memory remains essential for AI servers. Select ecommerce businesses underperformed despite strong fundamentals. Sea, MercadoLibre, and Coupang faced near-term headwinds from increased investment and competitive pressure, but maintain strong long-term positioning. Defense technology entering structural growth phase driven by rising geopolitical risk and convergence of military and commercial innovation. Focus on autonomous systems, space sensing, and secure communications. AI advances pushing robotics forward with near-term opportunities in logistics and warehouse environments. Focus on companies that make robots reliable and economically compelling rather than headline-grabbing names. Energy transition blending with new power demand from data centers and AI, straining grids and forcing aggressive investment in power infrastructure. Multiyear investment cycle expected across entire power value chain. | View | |

The US market is more dependent on AI continuing to surprise to the upside due to richer valuations and concentrated exposure. Global semiconductor ecosystem enables AI buildout, spanning chip foundries, memory-chip makers, and equipment manufacturers. International markets are more heavily tilted toward this manufacturing and infrastructure provider segment. International markets trade at roughly half the multiples of US stocks, offering more attractive valuations. Non-US markets start from cheaper valuations and possess more diverse growth opportunities unrelated to AI. | GOOG |

The manager notes that tariffs and policies aimed at forcing US self-sufficiency create business uncertainty and undermine investment appetite. | View |
