7 Quarterly Commentary Review Small caps underperformed large caps. While the earnings outlook for non-u.s. small-cap companies remained healthy, global trade and political concerns, slowing growth in China, and rising U.S. interest rates weighed on investor sentiment. Emerging markets underperformed. Emerging markets stocks were particularly vulnerable to the geopolitical backdrop, slowdown in China, rising U.S. interest rates, and a stronger U.S. dollar. Country-specific events also hurt the asset class, which declined and lagged non-u.s. developed markets stocks, which increased modestly. Consumer discretionary sector detracted. Stock selection in the specialty retail industry was a key detractor in the consumer discretionary sector. Hotel Shilla, an operator of luxury hotels and duty-free shops in South Korea, declined on news of weak duty-free store sales and mounting competition. We sold our position. Company-specific issues weighed on industrials sector. The industrials sector was a key detractor, largely due to security selection in the machinery, building products, and road and rail industries. In general, company-specific issues and not owning select stocks represented in the index led to the relative underperformance. Information technology contributed. Information technology stocks were key contributors. Select companies benefited from corporate spending on software and information technology services, including Systena and Solutions 30, a computer and network support provider, which rallied on its broadband connectivity rollout in Europe. Health care exposure increased. We increased our position in the health care sector, including in the generic drugs industry, where pricing trends appear positive. We also favor health care equipment and supplies companies, including Carl Zeiss Meditec, an ophthalmology equipment manufacturer. We reduced exposure to consumer discretionary stocks, as global tariff policies may pressure earnings for select companies. Europe remained a top overweight. We increased our exposure to Europe, largely due to finding attractive stock-specific opportunities in the U.K., Italy, and Spain. We decreased exposure to emerging markets, particularly China, on concerns about tariffs and their effect on future earnings growth. Key Contributors Burford Capital. A provider of financing and professional services for the global legal industry, Burford Capital reported double-digit revenue and profits growth for the first half of The company benefits from a well-diversified portfolio and recurring business, which we believe will support sustainable earnings growth. Systena. The company, which provides technology solutions to support mobile communications, is benefiting from growing demand for connected devices. The company reported better-than-expected revenue and operating profits growth, aided by higher margins for expanding automotive-related business. KH Neochem. This supplier of petrochemical and other chemical products in Japan raised revenue guidance for the full year 2018, due to strong demand trends in several product lines and initiatives designed to improve production efficiency. Pricing is also improving. Key Detractors Tateru. The supplier of cloud-based real estate marketing services based on falsified bank statements. Amid a wider investigation into other potential occurrences, and given near-term uncertainty for the stock, we exited the position. Wisdom Education International. The private education company is capitalizing on growing demand for childhood educational services limiting the ability of private education companies to expand through acquisitions. Melco International Development. This resorts and gaming company operates high-end properties in Macau, a destination popular with Chinese tourists. Its stock price declined on concerns that slowing consumer growth might hurt business. Notable Trades Cosmos Pharmaceutical. We added a position in Cosmos, which earnings growth is sustainable and accelerating. In our view, samestore sales growth is also improving. Canada Goose Holdings. We initiated an investment in this down base and e-commerce activities will boost revenue growth. In our view, increased direct-to-consumer sales and in-house manufacturing should also lead to improving profitability. Hotel Shilla. Weak duty-free store sales and a more challenging competitive environment weighed on the shares of this operator of luxury hotels and duty-free shops in South Korea. We liquidated our position to seek out holdings with more attractive risk/reward profiles. Ambu. We exited our investment in this supplier of advanced, single-use diagnostic medical equipment. In addition to finding opportunities with more compelling risk/reward trade-offs, we were concerned about mounting competitive pressures. 7
8 Positioning for the Future The portfolio continues to invest in companies where we believe the fundamentals are strong and improving but share price performance does not fully reflect these factors. Our process is based on individual security selection, but broad themes have emerged. Information technology was a top overweight. The information technology sector remained a prominent overweight, as favorable capital spending trends are fueling earnings growth in several industries, including software and information technology services. In the software industry, we added a position in Paradox Interactive, a developer and publisher of PC-based strategy games. We also added a position in information technology services provider Afterpay Touch Group, a payment services company. Health care exposure increased. The health care sector was another notable overweight. We continued to find opportunities among drugmakers and health care equipment and supply companies, primarily in Europe and Japan. We are particularly optimistic about pricing trends among generic drug manufacturers, and we added a position in Sawai Pharmaceutical. In the health care equipment and supply industry, we increased our stake in Nihon Kohden, a manufacturer of medical electronic equipment. Consumer discretionary sector reduced. We decreased the exiting positions in China and other emerging markets. Trade-war fears and concerns about a resulting economic slowdown in China led to worries about consumer spending trends and earnings growth outlooks for select consumer-focused companies. Industrials remained a prominent underweight. A stronger U.S. dollar, ongoing global trade tensions, and concerns about an economic slowdown in China prompted us to maintain a large underweight in the industrials sector. We reduced our weighting to machinery stocks, selling Lonking Holdings, a manufacturer of excavators and infrastructure machinery based in China. Australia and Japan exposure increased. We boosted our position in Australia, including new holding Afterpay Touch Group (see above). We believe increased capital spending in the metals and mining industry and rising oil prices are creating a favorable backdrop for broad corporate earnings growth in Australia. We also added exposure in Japan, where we believe improving economic growth is aiding the earnings outlooks for many companies, including new holdings Sankyu, a transportation and logistics company, and Sumitomo Bakelite, a chemicals company. 8
