“Portfolio performance was also notably broad-based. While technology remained an important contributor, returns were generated across multiple sectors and investment themes. Taiwan Semiconductor, Applied Materials, Analog Devices, NVIDIA, Astera Labs and Seagate contributed meaningfully as part of our Compute Infrastructure theme.”

“Astera Labs (ALAB): A pure-play investment in the physical bottlenecks of AI infrastructure.”
Astera Labs - June 2026
“• Astera Labs designs high-speed semiconductor connectivity solutions for AI and cloud data centers. Its products, spanning PCIe, CXL, and Ethernet technologies, enable efficient data movement and signal integrity between GPUs, CPUs, and memory — effectively solving the bottleneck of how AI models communicate and operate within massive server environments at rack scale. We believe the company is positioned at the heart of the AI infrastructure buildout, given its expanding relationships with major hyperscale cloud providers and a rapidly growing product portfolio that addresses a large and growing market. Shares contributed positively to performance, supported by first- quarter results in which better-than-expected revenues were driven by hyperscale customers expanding their AI computing capacity, fueling strong demand for the company’s latest generation of connectivity products.”

“Astera Labs is a fabless provider of connectivity chips designed to address data, network and memory bandwidth bottlenecks in AI data centers. Quarterly results exceeded expectations, driven by continued strength in Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) connectivity products and accelerating adoption of its Scorpio switch platform. The company also continues to invest in next-generation optical connectivity solutions, which we believe positions it well to benefit from longer term AI-driven infrastructure growth. We trimmed the position on valuation.”
