Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

The Fund generated a small positive return for the six-month period ending December 31, 2025, but underperformed the benchmark MSCI World Index as global equities rallied. During this period, equity markets experienced significant rotation between low- and high-quality names, with the latter suffering significant underperformance to the broader index. During the six months through December 31st, the S&P 500 Quality index significantly underperformed the broader S&P 500 Index. Within this environment, the Fund generated negative alpha given its general bias towards quality growth compounders.

The Fund’s exposure to the Financial sector was the largest positive contributor to performance, driven primarily by positions in select U.S. and European banks. Other positive contributors included a position in a consumer credit/finance company and a position in a major U.S. securities exchange. A position in an alternative asset management company detracted from performance.

The Industrial sector portfolio was the second largest return driver, led by long-standing exposure to commercial aerospace and electrical component businesses. We continue to see an attractive long-cycle opportunity within commercial aerospace among the engine and parts manufacturers and the original equipment manufacturers (OEM) – who continue to maintain 10-year order backlogs on strong airframe demand.

Consumer sector exposure was the largest detractor to the Fund’s performance over the period, driven by positions in UK retail and consumer product companies and a U.S. auto-parts business. The TMT sector also detracted from return, driven by positions in global software companies, a Korean ecommerce business and a cybersecurity company. Partially offsetting these losses were positions in a data center skilled labor business and a global semiconductor manufacturing company.

The portfolio ended December with 23 positions. The largest ten positions represent ~58% of capital. The median market capitalization of the portfolio is $107.6 billion and ~73% of the Fund’s assets are not represented in the S&P 500 index.
