Quarterly updates
Strategy update: Q4 2025
Worldwide Leaders strategy update: 1 October - 31 December 2025
In the fourth quarter, First Sentier Group announced a strategic transition of Stewart Investors' (SI) investment management responsibilities to its affiliate investment team, FSSA Investment Managers (FSSA), effective 14 November 2025. Importantly, the funds will continue to be run in line with their existing investment objectives and policies. In relation to the Worldwide and Worldwide Leaders strategies, Nick Edgerton and Lorna Logan continue as lead portfolio managers.
In the fourth quarter, global equities capped off a robust year with steady gains, driven in part by easing inflation expectations of continued central bank policy easing. The weaker US dollar encouraged a slight broadening of performance as capital flowed a little more into cyclical sectors, and non-US developed markets.
Our relative performance suffered mostly due to weakness in our larger long term investments in US technology businesses Arista Networks and Fortinet, along with US heating, ventilation and air conditioning business Watsco, and insurance brokerage Brown and Brown. Our performance was supported by non-US investments, including Korean memory chip maker and consumer electronics business Samsung which continues to ride the demand wave for memory, along with Brazilian electric motor business WEG, German rail business Knorr-Bremse and long term Indian tractor business Mahindra and Mahindra. These contributions, positive and negative, highlight the shift in capital from the US into other markets.
Over the quarter, we added two new companies including Alcon, a US-listed eye-health company which specialises in transforming the treatment of eye conditions. Alcon experienced a weak first three quarters of the year following soft market conditions in its surgical franchise and intense competition in the US implantable market. This weakness provided the opportunity for our investment. The other new addition is Cintas, a Cincinnati based, 100 year old family backed and owned business now overseen by its fourth generation. It’s a customer service business backed by a logistics business, harnessing localised routes and relationships to sell uniform rental and sales, facility services, workplace first aid consumables and safety services, which can all be scaled nationally.
We exited four companies, including ABB for valuation reasons with euphoria behind many electrification businesses. We exited Sysmex due to concerns around rising competition in China for diagnostics. We also exited Alibaba due to increasing geopolitical risks, not helped by accusations that Alibaba is providing technological support for the Chinese military. At the same time there are signs that the level of profit the company will be allowed to make may be limited by the government, with its recent AI access point being released free for users.

Strategy update: Q3 2025
Worldwide Leaders strategy update: 1 July - 30 September 2025
On one level, the third quarter saw significant changes at Stewart Investors. After acting as careful stewards of our clients’ capital over many years, three of our colleagues stepped back from their portfolio-management responsibilities in August and left the business.
As part of those changes, Nick Edgerton has been appointed as the new lead manager of the Worldwide Leaders strategy. As the existing lead portfolio manager of our Worldwide All Cap strategy, Nick has been involved in analysing companies and discussing the construction of Stewart Investors’ worldwide strategies since he joined the investment team in 2012. He will continue to apply the same principles to managing this strategy that have guided it since its launch, working as part of the same tight-knit group of investment analysts and drawing on the same common pool of investment ideas.
While the list of portfolio-management responsibilities within our team looks different now than it did when the quarter began, on a deeper level, nothing has changed: the philosophy and approach that has defined Stewart Investors since 1988 is deeply engrained and continues to define what we do. Our structure is flat. Every member of the investment team is first and foremost an analyst and our collective focus is on identifying high-quality companies, with resilient financials, guided by ambitious stewards. This is the bedrock on which the returns of all our strategies, including Worldwide Leaders, have been built.
As analysts, we have always aspired to be excellent generalists rather than narrowly focused sector or country specialists. We scrutinise, debate and decide upon all of the companies that we invest in as a team. Because our understanding is arrived at collectively, because our turnover is low and because much of the information that informs our decision-making doesn’t change on a quarterly basis, we do not immediately lose our insight into companies when an analyst leaves.
Our clients have understandably been keen to discuss the changes that have taken place within our business. Set against that, however, we have been careful to ensure that the majority of our time through the third quarter remained on the companies we invest in and on the environment in which they operate.
The artificial intelligence boom: are the risks of disappointment growing?
It has been nearly three years since ChatGPT astonished the world and triggered a wave of investment in the infrastructure needed to support the rollout of artificial intelligence (AI) models. During that time, the share prices of those companies that are building much of that infrastructure, so-called ‘hyperscalers’ such as Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet and Amazon, have risen sharply. Companies who provide the components of the data centres required to train and run the AI models have also enjoyed significant gains. Nvidia is the highest profile of these but the past three years have also seen sharp gains for businesses such as TSMC, which manufactures advanced semiconductors, and Arista Networks, which makes networking switches.
One consequence of this investment boom is that movements in stock market indices have come to be dominated by the fortunes of fewer and fewer stocks. Such increases in market concentration have happened before, typically when the excitement surrounding a new technology has sparked an infrastructure boom. A similar thing happened with railways in the nineteenth century and then again with the internet 25 years ago. As investors grow enthused by the promise of a new technology, they become willing to project today’s rapid growth persisting into the far-off future and to pay progressively more for those future earnings. While earnings continue to rise, this makes sense. But as market concentration increases around a single theme (AI in this case), and as companies come to be valued at higher and higher multiples of their future earnings, the risks of disappointment grow.
The long-term beneficiaries of today’s AI investment boom will not necessarily be the hyperscalers
In the current boom, one risk arises from the fact that the real world will eventually begin to impose constraints on the number of data centres that can be built. This was highlighted to us by the management teams of some of the companies we met during our recent trip to Texas, one of the states at the epicentre of the data centre boom.
Another risk arises from the fact that it is unclear who will benefit the most from the investments being made today. In the railway and internet booms, the financial benefits did not accrue to the companies that first built the infrastructure, but rather to those businesses that were subsequently able to use it in ways that weren’t fully appreciated when it was being built. (The profits Netflix and Meta are making today arguably rest on the lossmaking investments telecoms companies made in laying fibre optic cables during the last technology boom). At this point, no large revenue streams from the end users of the current generation of AI tools have been identified. The hyperscalers are making the bulk of the investments in physical plant – but we are conscious that they built their dominant positions in a world of low interest rates and flourishing advertising revenues.
As market indices narrow, we invest in a diverse range of companies that are benefitting from a broad range of long-term tailwinds.
How should long-term, fundamental investors approach the risks, opportunities, and uncertainties being presented by the AI boom? Because our definition of ‘risk’ is the permanent loss of our clients’ capital rather than diverging from a benchmark index, we are prepared to relinquish some potential gains in exchange for reducing the risk of loss. And although we certainly own some companies that are benefitting from the current wave of investment in AI and data centres, our investment philosophy is based on the premise that the best way to deliver long-term returns is to hold a diversified portfolio of companies. The companies we invest in address a range of unmet needs and we believe they will grow their cashflows and earnings over a decade or more by meeting those needs. We established two new positions during the quarter, both of which we believe meet that definition.
New holding: Singtel (Singapore: Communication Services)
We bought Singtel in recognition of its resilient cashflows and its attractive valuation. It owns shares in various telecoms businesses across the Asia Pacific region. Totting up the market value of those shareholdings gives a total implied valuation that is higher than Singtel’s current market value. That implies that its two core businesses, SingTel and Optus, an Australian telecoms network, have no value, despite having 4.6 million and 10.5 million subscribers respectively. That mispricing, combined with its refocused leadership under Kuan Moon Yeon and the company’s ability to deliver steady, predictable and diversified cashflows suggests it could be a good investment.
New holding: W.W. Grainger (United States: Industrials).
Grainger is a leading distributor of maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) products. It serves a diverse range of sectors including manufacturing, government, and healthcare. The breadth of its product range, its excellent logistics and the strength of its relationships should enable it to continue to grow at the expense of its smaller competitors. To fund this addition, we sold the holding in MonotaRO (Japan: Industrials). MonotaRO is in a similar business to Grainger, by whom it is partly owned. By owning shares in the parent company, the strategy gains exposure to growth in the US as well as Japan, thereby diversifying its exposure.
Elsewhere, we topped up our existing position in cybersecurity specialist Fortinet (United States: Information Technology). Its share price fell in August when it signalled that the current upgrade cycle for firewalls was more advanced than investors had realised, implying that future sales of these upgraded components could be smaller than expected. The company subsequently increased the size of its share buyback programme, indicating that it thinks the weakness in its share price represents a great buying opportunity.
We also added to Synopsys (United States: Information Technology) after its share price reacted strongly when it failed to meet earnings expectations. Despite some short-term challenges, it continues to generate healthy cashflows, and the long-term drivers of its growth remain in place.
To help fund these additions, we sold the holdings in Beiersdorf (Germany: Consumer Staples) and Hoya (Japan: Health Care), whose valuations looked less attractive.
Outlook: delivering absolute returns in a relative world
Fear of missing out – ‘FOMO’ – is not confined to the young; it is a natural human instinct. We are conscious that our style of investing, which is designed to deliver compelling absolute returns over the long term (a decade or longer) and to minimise capital losses, has not kept pace with returns from global indices over the short term. We don’t believe that means our philosophy of investing in high-quality companies for extended periods of time has suddenly ceased to work. At a time of change in markets, trade and geopolitics, our underlying approach remains consistent: we continue to focus on generating attractive returns over the long term rather than attempting to outperform through every short-term period. We look forward to demonstrating the fruits of that approach over the years and decades to come.
Case Study: Arista Networks
Listing: New York Stock Exchange
Market cap: USD183 billion1
Held since: 2020
Company description
Arista Networks’ software and hardware connects networks, data centres and cloud-computing nodes.
Investment rationale
Arista was founded in 2004 by three engineers who recognised that the market for networking switches was dominated by sleepy incumbents churning out predictable products with minimal upgrades. They set out to disrupt this industry by creating high-performance, low-latency ethernet switches specifically designed for cloud computing and data centres. Having experienced firsthand how Cisco Systems operated, they knew that they could create a company that did things differently in its focus on innovation, in its operating model, and in its culture.
At the time of its launch in 2010, the company’s first product had five times the throughput of its closest competitor.2 It then enhanced its lead by pursuing a programme of innovation and improvement, made possible by investing heavily in research and development.
Two early decisions taken by the company’s founders provided a platform for its subsequent growth. The first was to integrate a proprietary operating system, Arista EOS, into its hardware. This allows its customers to see what is happening across their networks in a single image and to fix issues seamlessly and with minimal network downtime. Arista built that software using open-source (Linux) code, allowing new best-of-breed software to be incorporated as it becomes available.
Their second key decision was to use microchips made by third parties rather than developing their own. By using off-the-shelf components and outsourcing manufacturing to local fulfilment centres, Arista can keep costs down, bring new innovations to market quickly, and benefit from industry-wide improvements in chip size, power usage and computing capacity.
Although two of the company’s three founders remain involved today, they made an early decision to hire a chief executive to run it. Jayshree Ullal joined in 2008, two years before Arista’s first product launch and six years before its IPO (initial public offering). She has been the key to establishing and nurturing its culture of customer focus, innovation, frugality, and flat hierarchies. This combination of a longstanding chief executive supported by the company’s founders has created an ownership mentality that has cascaded through the workforce, helped by its flat structure and lean workforce. Employees are accountable and empowered to openly address and fix problems.
One part of that culture is a refusal to sacrifice quality for speed; Arista will not ship a new product until its engineers are happy that it will operate as expected. This maintains its reputation for reliability, helps it to win repeat business, and supports its long-term partnerships with its two largest customers, Microsoft and Meta, who together account for approximately a third of its revenues.3 And although that means it faces a degree of concentration risk, it also makes it a direct beneficiary of the investments these companies are making in building artificial intelligence (AI) data centres.
Arista is taking steps to mitigate that concentration risk by diversifying its customer base within the US, which currently accounts for approximately three quarters of its revenues, as well as by expanding overseas.4 For example, it recently launched a ‘Make in India’ initiative, through which it is investing in local manufacturing, developing skills, and building centres of excellence in ‘AI for networking’ across the country.
Arista’s strong cash-flow generation, its high profit margins and low debts give it the financial firepower to continue investing in research and development while also acquiring companies to benefit from their technology and engineering expertise. This continual reinvestment in innovation should help it to stay ahead of the pack while exploiting the significant areas of potential growth in front of it.
What could go wrong? / Risks
The clearest risk is posed by customer concentration; any difficulties in Arista’s relationships with either Microsoft or Meta could lead to a fall in its revenues and potential reputational issues. Ongoing price deflation, meanwhile, means that it must innovate continually – and run harder – to increase sales and profits. Finally, there is always the risk that an acquisition goes badly, affecting the company’s culture and causing it to lose its leadership in innovation.

Strategy update: Q2 2025
Worldwide Leaders strategy update: 1 April - 30 June 2025
Draw a circle encompassing Asia on a world map and it would look relatively small in comparison to the rest of the globe. That small circle, however, would contain more than four billion people1 and some of the world’s fastest-growing economies: India, China, Taiwan, South Korea, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
Reflecting the continent’s strong culture of equity investment, it also boasts a disproportionately large share of companies raising capital through initial public offerings (IPOs)2. Stewart Investors’ heritage of investing in Asian markets means we are well-equipped to tap into the opportunities this presents.
This quarter, we invested in Trip.com (China: Consumer Discretionary), a multinational travel agency that owns several platforms including MakeMyTrip and Skyscanner. Trip.com has survived a gruelling decade of intense competition in China, emerging as the country’s leading online travel agency, with a 60% market share3. We also believe it has an outstanding culture, putting its customers first while also taking care of more than 40,000 employees4. This should allow it to maintain its leadership in domestic tourism while expanding its footprint as a growing number of Chinese tourists venture overseas5. The economics of platform businesses such as this are compelling once they reach scale (providing that they operate in a stable industry environment). Trip.com is using the strength of its balance sheet to buy back its shares at what we view as attractive valuations, thereby enhancing returns to long-term investors.
The quarter’s second key addition was Chubb (United States: Financials). Founded in 1882, Chubb is a world-leading property and casualty insurer, operating in over 50 countries. It merged with Ace Insurance in 2016, combining two high-quality businesses to create an insurer with global scale and a substantial balance sheet. Sound underwriting depends on thousands of underwriters being prepared to say ‘no’ to poor-quality premiums today to protect their company’s profits many years into the future. This approach is at the core of Chubb’s business and, crucially, it was able to preserve this through the merger. Such cultures are rare and can only be built with patience. Chubb’s chief executive, Evan Greenberg, has consistently reiterated his company’s conservative approach to taking on new business and the company’s website states that “Chubb is an underwriting company and we strive to emphasize quality of underwriting rather than volume of business or market share”. Scaling up these types of cultures is difficult – but we think Chubb has succeeded. We believe this combination of culture with the size of its balance sheet and its global reach should help it to both preserve and grow capital at attractive rates over the coming decades.
We continued to build positions in Alibaba (China: Consumer Discretionary) and ABB (Switzerland: Industrials). We also topped up our position in Arista Networks (United States: Information Technology), taking advantage of a spell of what we believe will prove to be temporary weakness in its share price.
We sold our holdings in six companies over the quarter. Copart (United States: Industrials) and Fastenal (United States: Industrials) remain high-quality businesses but their stretched valuations implied that future returns would be lower. We sold Tata Consultancy Services (India: Information Technology) as its valuation left little room for error despite the current elevated level of geopolitical uncertainty. Similarly, we sold Expeditors (United States: Industrials) in the belief that any slowdown in world trade would present a challenge to its growth. Lastly, we sold Ashtead Group (United Kingdom: Industrials) and Rentokil Initial (United Kingdom: Industrials). After reassessing the quality of their franchises and management, we decided that there were better homes for our clients’ capital elsewhere.
A rapidly evolving security situation combined with rising trade tensions and the imposition of barriers to technology exports mean that our companies could face a different set of opportunities – and risks – in the coming decades. Despite this, we are confident that our long-term investment horizon and our philosophy of focusing on stewardship, financial resilience and on growing, high-quality companies whose shares trade at reasonable valuations should continue to deliver attractive returns.

Strategy update: Q1 2025
Worldwide Leaders strategy update: 1 January - 31 March 2025
“Only two things make up a railroad: a track and a locomotive.” Amid the constant barrage of news about tariffs, trade wars and geopolitical realignment, this recent comment – by the chief financial officer (CFO) of one of our companies – provided a timely reminder that things are sometimes simple. It also underscored why we are glad to be bottom-up investors. Through all the noise of the first quarter of 2025, we focused on finding companies with experience in navigating unpredictable political and economic storms and who keep their eyes firmly fixed on their long-term goals.
This quarter witnessed a significant ‘first’ for this strategy – its first investment in a Chinese company. We approached our assessment of Alibaba (China: Consumer Discretionary) as we would with any company, by considering the quality of its people, its franchise and its financials. Alibaba is led by a highly capable management team that combines a private-sector mindset with strategic alignment with the goals of the Chinese government. It is reinvesting the generous cashflows that its mature retail business generates in building a new cloud business. It has net cash on its balance sheet and a share-buyback programme that is friendly to its minority shareholders. In our view, the combination of an attractive valuation with the potential for Alibaba’s technology to help China meet some of the development challenges it faces make the investment case here compelling.
We also added a new position in ABB (Switzerland: Industrials). This high-quality engineering business is a market leader in electrification, motion and automation. Its motors, drives and transformers are a small but critical part of its customers’ overall budget, and the depth of the relationships ABB has fostered with them puts it in a strong competitive position. We believe, the combination of increasing demand for electricity worldwide and the company’s focus on improving margins leaves ABB well placed to generate returns over the coming decade.
We continued to build positions in a number of recent additions to the portfolio such as Brown & Brown (United States: Financials), NVR (United States: Consumer Discretionary) and Carlisle Companies (United States: Industrials). Elsewhere, we responded to the attractive valuation of Samsung Electronics (South Korea: Information Technology) by adding to our position.
During the quarter, we sold Costco (United States: Consumer Staples). This is still a high-quality company but the valuation of its shares indicated a likelihood that returns in the future would be lower. On a similar note, stretched valuations encouraged us to trim our holdings in Fortinet (United States: Information Technology), Copart (United States: Industrials) and Watsco (United States: Industrials). Elsewhere, rising geopolitical risks led us to trim the holding in TSMC (Taiwan: Information Technology).
We continue to find opportunities to invest in the shares of reasonably valued companies worldwide that we believe can (profitably) help to solve a range of development challenges. Being unconstrained by a benchmark allows us to seize those opportunities wherever they arise. At a time of rapid economic and geopolitical change, we continue to apply our investment philosophy consistently and to focus on the things that we believe matter over our investment timeframe. As for what comes next? Another comment from the CFO we quoted earlier encapsulates our view: “there’s only one way to go in rail, and that’s forward!”
