Commentary
As of 31 December 2025
Market Overview
− Global equities were supported in Q4 by resilient economic data, strong AIrelated capital expenditure that contributed materially to growth, and expectations of one to two Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2026, following the three cuts of 0.25% in September, October and December.
− Emerging Markets equities delivered a 5.80% return in Q4, driven by growth in China and India.
− Sector rotation was notable over the quarter, with a shift away from concentrated AI-driven gains toward broader participation.
Fund Highlights
− The fund returned 1.18% for the quarter, underperforming the benchmark which returned 3.38%.
− The fund benefitted most from strong double-digit returns in overweight positions in Steel Dynamics, Western Digital Corp., Delta Air Lines, Dollar General Corp and General Motors, with share prices surging between 23% and 45% over the quarter.
− Unfortunately, the fund’s lack of exposure to several other names that delivered similarly strong gains detracted from relative performance. This group of names includes Alphabet Class C, Eli Lilly, Micron Technology, SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics.
