Portfolio 1

Below is the list of companies in Portfolio 1, as of December 31, 2025.

Also included are graphs to illustrate how the portfolio is diversified by sector and market capitalization.

By dollar value, Portfolio 1 remains heavily concentrated in Technology, largely driven by the strong run-up in NVIDIA’s share price since 2023. More than half of the holdings now come from the Technology sector, with the remainder spread across eight of the other eleven sectors — notably excluding Basic Materials, Healthcare, and Utilities. From a market-cap perspective, this portfolio is dominated by large and mega-cap companies, which tend to be less volatile overall, though that stability isn’t always guaranteed in the tech space. During the fourth quarter, I trimmed exposure by selling four underperforming technology names and redeployed that capital into two higher-conviction tech holdings, tightening the portfolio while staying true to its growth-focused mandate.

Activity during the fourth quarter of 2025:

 

Bought: Arista Networks, Inc.

Bought: Constellation Software Inc.

Sold: indie Semiconductor, Inc.

Sold: Docebo Inc.

Sold: PayPal Holdings Inc.

Sold: Skyworks Solutions, Inc.

Portfolio 1

Below is the list of the Portfolio 1 companies. Some you will recognize some you won't. Either way, I've included the company name, its trading symbol (also known as ticker), the currency used to purchase the shares, the gain or loss in share price since the shares were purchased* (the average, in the case of multiple purchases), the total return (the gain or loss from the shares, plus any dividends) and the stock exchange it was purchased on. I have also shown what the company does, and why it was purchased (including how I categorize the company). In cases where a company's total return is greater than the gain or loss in share price, that is because the company pays a dividend.

Stocks traded on Canadian exchanges have the exchanges listed in red. Stocks traded on American exchanges have the exchanges listed in blue.
