SFDR DISCLOSURE
30-Nov-2023 - David Eiswert, Portfolio Manager,
We appear to be on a new macroeconomic path where higher inflation and interest rates lead to scarcity, which, in turn, helps fuel higher inflation and interest rates. In such an environment, we want to maintain a balance in the portfolio in order to capture tailwinds while seeking to support our holdings during periods of volatility.

30-Nov-2023 - David Eiswert, Portfolio Manager,
Global equities advanced in November amid hopes that major central banks may not have to raise interest rates further to combat inflation. Within the portfolio, our holdings in the information technology sector, coupled with an overweight position, contributed the most to relative returns. Shares of an e-commerce omnichannel platform surged following the release of stronger-than-expected third-quarter earnings and fourth-quarter revenue guidance. Management noted that third-quarter gross merchandise value strength was primarily driven by merchant growth across the platform. We think the company is well positioned for accelerating returns given the fact that its strategic positioning as the digital operating system for smaller merchants has only strengthened over the last couple years, and recent plans for increased monetisation are encouraging. Conversely, stock picks and an overweight position in energy detracted. Shares of a large oil field services company declined as falling oil prices pressured energy names. We believe the company is the technology leader in its field with the greatest scale and best reputation with customers. In our view, the firm is also well positioned to benefit from increased international spending that we expect to occur both onshore and offshore and across commodities.
30-Nov-2023 - David Eiswert, Portfolio Manager,
We are underweight industrials and business services given the growing possibility of a global economic slowdown, which generally pressures demand in industrial end markets. However, we still believe our exposure within the sector is poised to capture the tailwinds of accelerating economic fundamentals as COVID-19 distortions continue to abate and the world begins to normalise in a more synchronised fashion. Our exposure is focused on long-cycle industrials and commercial services companies that have strong competitive positions, as well as aerospace-related names that have a significant backlog and pent-up demand.
