The fund underperformed its benchmark in Q4 2025, returning 3.87% net of fees versus the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index’s 5.05%, with gains driven by IT, industrials, and communication services sectors. Sumitomo Densetsu surged after Daiwa House’s premium takeover bid, boosting returns, while Samsung Electronics gained from strong demand for its high-bandwidth memory chips, critical for AI and quantum applications. Alibaba’s profitability dipped due to heavy AI infrastructure investments, reflecting broader industry trends as companies prioritize long-term tech upgrades over short-term margins. The portfolio benefits from industry outsourcing trends, positioning larger firms like Samsung to gain market share against smaller competitors amid rising demand for advanced semiconductor solutions. Communication services overweighting paid off, aligning with global digital transformation trends, though macroeconomic pressures and sector-specific volatility remain key risks for 2026.
