The majority of the holdings have experienced an increase in value, with some holdings experiencing a sizable drop. In this post, we'll take a deeper look at the holdings and the changes in value.

The top five holdings of James Hambro & Partners have remained relatively unchanged. JPMorgan Chase & Co, Microsoft Corp, Linde PLC, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, and Visa Inc hold the top five spots respectively for both Q3 and Q4. While the share count for JPMorgan and Microsoft have decreased slightly, the value of the shares has increased substantially, with JPMorgan's value increasing by 26.1% and Microsoft's value increasing by 3.1%.

One of the most significant decreases in value is seen in Amazon.com Inc, which saw a 46.3% decrease in value. In contrast, Iron Mountain Inc saw a 173.8% increase in value. These two holdings highlight how drastically the value of a holding can shift in just one quarter.

Looking at the overall portfolio, there has been a 17.7% increase in the value of the portfolio from Q3 to Q4. This increase can be attributed to S&P Global Inc, Coca-Cola Co, and Texas Instrs Inc, which have all experienced double-digit percentage increases in value.

S&P Global Inc saw a 10.2% increase in value, which can be attributed to the company's recent success in merging with IHS Markit. Coca-Cola Co also saw a significant increase in value of 14.7%, which can be attributed to the company's strong financial performance in Q4. Texas Instrs Inc saw a 23.9% increase in value, likely due to strong sales and revenue in the quarter.

On the other hand, there were holdings that experienced decreased values. Apart from Amazon.com Inc, other holdings that showed a decrease in value include Alphabet Inc (GOOG) and Allegion PLC. GOOG saw a decrease in value by 4.3%, while Allegion PLC's value decreased by 47.7%.

The significant decrease in Allegion PLC's value is a bit of a surprise, given that the company has recently been performing well financially. However, this decline in value could be attributed to external factors, such as changes in the market, industry, or economic conditions.

While some holdings have seen significant changes in value, there were a handful of holdings that remained unchanged from Q3 to Q4. Mastercard Incorporated, American Tower Corp New, and Verizon Communications Inc held their respective values from Q3 to Q4.
