Why semiconductors represent 40% of the portfolio and the rationale behind this weighting2. The case for cloud software platforms as mispriced opportunities in the AI era3. How all S&P 500 earnings growth since 2007 has come from technology companies4. Outstanding CEOs including Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Lisa Su (AMD), and Marcos Galperin (Mercado Libre)5.
