Ole_CNX/iStock via Getty Images Key takeaways 1 The fund underperformed its benchmark Class A shares delivered a positive return for the quarter but trailed the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index. Stock selection in industrials detracted the most from relative performance. 2 Bottom-up stock selection focused on EQV (Earnings, Quality, Valuation) characteristics The market environment throughout the period in our view has created compelling opportunities. While remaining true to our EQV philosophy, we identified several promising new investments and sold several holdings based on our EQV fundamentals. 3 Focused on a long-term investment horizon We remain focused on applying our well-established, long-term, bottom-up EQV investment process that seeks to identify attractively valued, high quality growth companies. With geopolitical and macro risks likely to stay elevated, we believe our EQV style is well positioned. Manager perspective and outlook In the fourth quarter of 2025, global equities posted generally positive results amid increased volatility, as international stocks outperformed US stocks. Artificial intelligence appeared to remain a major driver of investor enthusiasm, but momentum in the US faded late in the quarter as investors seemed to grow more cautious about elevated valuations on technology stocks. Market leadership broadened, with value stocks showing renewed resilience despite softening labor conditions and a historic US government shutdown early in the quarter. Emerging market equities were among the top performers for the quarter, supported by a broad technology rally across Asia. However, results varied: South Korea delivered robust gains fueled by corporate governance reforms and AI-related semiconductor demand, while Chinese equities lagged amid weak economic data and strengthening of its currency. European equities also generated solid returns for the quarter, helped by the euro's appreciation against the US dollar and supported by improving manufacturin...

The movement of the world's richest families across borders is accelerating into what experts are calling the most significant private wealth migration ever recorded. Demand for cross-border relocation, residency planning and citizenship consultancy services is being driven by geopolitical tensions and sudden policy shifts, advisers who work with ultra-high-net-worth clients told CNBC. According to a report by Swiss multinational investment bank UBS, 36% of its 87 billionaire clients surveyed had already relocated at least once in 2025, while another 9% were considering doing so. Among billionaires aged 54 and below, 44% moved last year. Families increasingly recognize that policy regimes can change rapidly. Farro & Co. Deepesh Agarwal "We are truly experiencing the largest private wealth migration in history," UBS told CNBC. Investment migration consultancy Henley & Partners' data points to the breadth of the shift. The firm received enquiries from 218 nationalities in 2025, translating into applications from 100 nationalities across 95 countries for more than 40 residency and citizenship programs. Application volumes also rose 28% year on year. Jurisdictional risks Affluent families have historically gravitated toward jurisdictions offering political stability, personal safety, low taxes and high quality of life. What has changed, advisers say, is that jurisdictional risk is now being treated like financial risk, something to be actively diversified. "Families increasingly recognize that policy regimes can change rapidly, regulatory frameworks can tighten, and geopolitical tensions can escalate with limited notice," said Deepesh Agarwal, managing director and co-founder at Farro & Co., a multi-family office. Wealthy individuals are treating where they live and what citizenship options they have with the same considerations they would extend to diversifying investments across assets, so they're not overly dependent on any single country if policies or politics shif...
