What this transaction means for investors
By adding the iShares MSCI ACWI Ex U.S. ETF, Premier Path increased its exposure by 31%.
Even after the increase, it is only 2.3% of the fund’s holdings, so given that the fund has hundreds of holdings, this is far from being the fund’s most significant acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Key Data Points
Nonetheless, it is notable that Premier Path has otherwise shown a preference for U.S. stocks.
Moreover, the fund holds a lot of the top non-U.S. stocks, with Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC), Tencent Holdings, and ASML rounding out the top three. Indeed, all three of these companies play a critical role in the economy, especially considering that production of the world’s most advanced chips is not possible without TSMC and ASML.
Furthermore, despite that seeming bias toward tech, the fund invests more heavily in the financial and industrial sectors. That should contribute to the diversifcation and ultimately, the returns of the fund.
