We bought four “new” holdings in the quarter. Two of the four — Blackstone and Otis — we have owned before. In IT, we exited Oracle and trimmed Broadcom. Our five-year investment in Oracle proved highly profitable as the company transitioned its business model from licensing to software-as-a-service. On the semiconductor side, we modestly reduced our position in Broadcom to fund our new investment in Taiwan Semiconductor.

U.S. equity markets fell for a fifth-straight week— pulling several major benchmarks into correction territory— as the Iran conflict remained locked in a volatile stalemate, keeping energy markets on edge.
