"We continued to trim our investment in Intuit as, after strong share price appreciation, we now consider the business to be fully valued. We also fully divested our investment in Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADI), again purely due to valuation considerations. We remain very comfortable with the quality of both of these businesses, with Intuit retained as a smaller holding and Analog Devices moving to our Bench of potential future investments. As outlined earlier in this report, our base case view is that there will not be a recession, particularly in the United States. However, growth is slowing, and this will negatively impact demand for many of Analog Devices’ products."
