The sailors aboard the navy vessel Hashidate know what’s for lunch long before the telltale aromas escape from the galley. Yosuke Oyama, the ship’s chef, has been up since dawn, softening onions and occasionally stirring a pot of chicken stock that has been simmering for several hours. He slices carrots and potatoes, places strips of beef on a tray and performs a quick inventory of the other ingredients – among them a selection of spices, apple puree, ginger and garlic and, for extra umami, a red wine and honey reduction. After a chorus of “Itadakimasu” – bon appétit – the mess deck is silent except for the appreciative noises made by the ravenous men and women of Japan’s maritime self-defence forces (SDF). Justin's Navy curry 1 “The crew love hamburgers, steak, sushi and ramen … they eat a lot like children,” jokes Oyama, a navy chef for three decades who is more accustomed to cooking for up to 500 sailors at a time. “And curry is always a winner.” With each spoonful, they are upholding a tradition of eating curry for lunch every Friday – once a way to track the passage of time on long voyages – and keeping rival SDF vessels around Japan on their culinary toes as they continue their search for the perfect curry recipe. Despite its south Asian origins, it’s no exaggeration to describe curry as Japan’s de facto national dish: a soupy, mild version beloved of schoolchildren and office workers, and generations of SDF personnel for whom kaigun kare – or navy curry – is a source of fierce pride as well as sustenance. The 10 crew members aboard Hashidate, a special services vessel used to host international VIPs that lies at anchor in Yokosuka, a naval base south of Tokyo, are among thousands of sailors eating their ship’s version of the same dish. Chef Oyama says variety is the key to keeping his diners interested in their Friday curry week in, week out. “We mix things up, like making keema or seafood curry, or keeping the leftover sauce and serving it with udon noodles ...

Tippapatt/iStock via Getty Images Quarterly review • The fund underperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index during the first quarter. • Stock selection in energy contributed the most to relative performance, however it was offset by our underweight to this best-performing sector. • Stock selection in the information technology (IT), health care, and consumer staples sectors were the largest detractors from relative performance. Market review January and early February saw a broadening of the markets and a continuation of the “low-quality trade reversal” that started in mid-October. However, the U. S. economic and inflation data that was released in mid-February had a significant impact on future interest rate and economic growth expectations. Expectations of further rate cuts quickly reversed and softer labor statistics sparked fears of a period of more challenging economic growth putting pressure on many of our industrials, materials, and consumer/housing-exposed stocks. Most of the major central banks paused their rate-cutting cycles due to the heightened geopolitical and inflation risks. The quick reversal in macroeconomic data also led to significant hedge fund de-risking during this period, when many hedge funds covered their “lower-quality” shorts. Many of the non-profitable IT stocks rallied during the second half of the quarter. The Iran conflict broke out at the end of February, causing global energy prices to spike. Energy producers rallied, and many of the stocks that consume energy performed poorly. The duration of the conflict will be the key determinant on how sustainable higher energy prices are, but past energy shocks have typically followed a similar pattern: energy shock to feedstock spike to margin compression to price hikes to inflation to margin expansion. We look to lean into the stocks that we believe have the pricing power to absorb and pass on rising input costs as we have successfully done in the past. High yield credit spreads have begun to ...

In recent weeks, Qualcomm has pushed further into AI and data centers, including securing a major hyperscaler customer for future data center processors, while also advancing on-device AI capabilities through products like Snapdragon-powered PCs and continued 5G and IoT development. At the same time, the company faces mixed analyst opinions, insider selling, and smartphone competition pressures, all contributing to sharp swings in sentiment as investors reassess how much its AI and data center ambitions can offset handset-related risks. With Qualcomm’s shares recently retreating amid sector-wide volatility, we’ll examine how its expanding data center AI engagement reshapes the existing investment narrative. AI is about to change healthcare. These 29 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10b in market cap - there's still time to get in early. QUALCOMM Investment Narrative Recap To own Qualcomm, you need to believe its push beyond smartphones into AI, data centers, PCs, automotive and IoT can steadily matter more than handset cycles and Apple exposure. The clearest near term catalyst is successful execution of its new hyperscaler data center CPU engagement, while the biggest risk is that handset and modem revenue pressures, intensified by OEM in house chips and China competition, make recent AI enthusiasm look premature. Recent volatility has not materially changed those core tensions. The most relevant recent announcement is Qualcomm’s new data center AI CPU deal with a leading hyperscaler, with shipments targeted before the end of 2026. This sits squarely against concerns that diversification into data centers and AI is still early and unproven, and that limited disclosure on customer identity and financial impact leaves room for disappointment if expectations around scale, timing or profitability prove too optimistic. Yet investors should also be aware that insider selling and renewed question...
