FACTSHEET
KID
30-Sep-2024 - Dom Rizzo, Portfolio Manager,
We continue to believe in the long-term growth prospects of artificial intelligence (AI) and related productivity gains associated with the technology and in our view, we have the investment framework to responsibly navigate the cycle. We anticipate that the portfolio could see increased turnover as the AI environment changes and we take advantage of the broadening market.

Overview
Strategy
Fund Summary
Our fundamental company research and bottom-up analysis aims for early identification of disruptive technology trends and to identify future winners and losers of technological change. We invest in primarily mid- to large-sized companies with strong and/or increasing market share and product pipelines that appear to be strategically poised for long-term growth. The promotion of environmental and/or social characteristics is achieved through the fund's commitment to maintain at least 10% of the value of its portfolio invested in Sustainable Investments, as defined by the SFDR. Additionally, we apply a proprietary responsible screen (exclusion list). The manager is not constrained by the fund’s benchmark, which is used for performance comparison purposes only.

30-Sep-2024 - Dom Rizzo, Portfolio Manager,
Global equities managed to deliver positive returns in September. Within the portfolio, an overweight allocation and stock selection in internet contributed to relative performance as the subsector outperformed the broader index. Shares of a Chinese e-commerce platform advanced as the Chinese government’s supportive economic actions spurred a significant equity rally in the final week of the month. We believe the company is a rising e-commerce leader, and we expect it to continue to gain market share as its value-for-money positioning and differentiated traffic allocation mechanism create sustainable value for both consumer and merchant. Within industrials, security selection added value. Shares of an electric vehicle manufacturer rose in anticipation of the company’s third-quarter deliveries report. We believe structural cost, technology, and cultural advantages should enable the company to continue to disrupt the automotive industry, while it also diversifies into less cyclical and higher-margin verticals. Alternatively, stock selection in software detracted from relative results. Our lack of exposure to an enterprise software company with infrastructure software and applications product hut as the company delivered a better-than-expected earnings report from its most recent quarter. We feel there are more attractive investment opportunities elsewhere in the industry
31-Dec-2023 - Dom Rizzo, Portfolio Manager,
Digital semiconductors companies are direct beneficiaries of artificial intelligence (AI); one major player in the space recently projected that the AI market could grow from USD 45 billion in 2023 to USD 400 billion by 2027 and could comprise a significant portion of the total semiconductor market size. We find this projection remarkable and believe it highlights significant opportunities for several of our investments. One of our largest holdings in semiconductors is a high-quality company solidifying a leadership position in its industry as the role of graphics processing units continues to gain importance amid several powerful vectors for growth: AI, supercomputing, gaming, and autonomous driving.
