ASML has a monopoly in an advanced, precision technology that is vital to the accurate and high-volume manufacture of integrated circuits (semiconductor chips). “ASML’s technology is the most difficult to replicate”3. a. There is strengthening of demand for advanced nodes (semiconductor manufacturing processes) across a wide variety of markets such as tele-working and tele-health, smartphones driven by 5G, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, automotive (electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, connected cars), solid state drives and servers, and industrial - worldwide semiconductor revenue grew 7.3% in 20204 5. However, currently, the world is facing a semiconductor shortage and … ASML manufactures the equipment necessary for the production of semiconductors. This was also a primary factor in ASML’s strong performance in 2020. Semiconductor market growth drivers6 7 are as follows: b. Moore’s Law states that the power of computers will roughly double every two years i.e. technology will continue to get smaller, faster, more reliable, while the relative cost goes down, and this has become a golden rule for the electronics industry since 19758. Two options arise to continue pursuing Moore’s law – using the same number of transistors on a chip at half the cost OR by doubling the number of transistors on a chip at the same cost. For this to be possible, chip manufacturers need EUV lithography systems (which uses lower wavelength light – 13.5nm - compared to traditional DUV lithography systems – 365nm, 248nm and 193nm) since the smaller the wavelength, the smaller the structures that can be printed9. ASML is currently the leading manufacturer of these next generation EUV lithography systems competitors like Carl Zeiss, Canon and Nikon do not have the scale and the resources to catch up. c. No-one else is making these systems because they are complicated10, expensive, and take years to develop11 i.e. barriers to entry. Further, a semiconductor fabrication plant can take 2+ years and billions of dollars to build. However, ASML’s 3 Quote attributed to New Street Research 4 https://www.asml.com/en/investors/financial-results/q4-2020 5 https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2021-01-14-gartner-says-worldwide-semiconductor-revenue-grew-7-percent-in-2020 6 https://www.asm.com/Downloads/2020_Q3_Investor_presentation.pdf 7 https://www.asml.com/en/investors/financial-calendar/investor-days 8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCbcIFAtB0A 9 ASML 2020 10-K 10 https://www.economist.com/business/2020/02/29/how-asml-became-chipmakings-biggest-monopoly How EUV systems work - Inside a cutting-edge EUV machine, molten tin falls through a chamber at 50,000 droplets per second. A pair of lasers zap every drop, creating a plasma that releases light of the desired wavelength. The mirrors guiding this light, made of sandwiched layers of silicon and molybdenum, are ground so precisely that, if scaled to the size of Germany, they would have no bumps bigger than a millimeter. Because EUV light is absorbed by almost anything, including air, the process must take place in a vacuum. 11 https://www.electronicdesign.com/technologies/embedded-revolution/article/21805342/at-asml-orders-pile-up-for-extreme-ultraviolet-lithography breakthrough innovation shows in the financial results - although EUV devices comprised 8% of sales in units (31 of 393 devices sold in 2020), they accounted for more than 40% of sales revenue. 2. Expanded addressable market, driven by EUV adoption a. The wafer fabrication (fab) equipment market is expected to grow ~10% from 2021 to 202212. 85% of semiconductor capital equipment spend goes toward front-end wafer manufacturing where there are four main component categories - deposition, lithography, etch and clean, and process control13. b. ASML estimates demand for EUV systems to reach 10-20 systems/fab for logic chips and 2-10 systems/fab for memory chips based on the number of structural layers of a chip that can be constructed using EUV14. c. ASML has recently received large orders from key customers, implying increasing uptake and acceptance of EUV lithography technology – SK Hynix aims to spend $4.2B on EUV lithography scanners from ASML over the next 5 years15 and Intel intends to increase its use of EUV in a rearchitected, simplified process flow as it looks to expand and manufacture the majority of its products internally as opposed to outsourcing16. TSMC stated that it would spend $100 billion over the next three years to increase production capacity as demand for semiconductors surges. Further, TSMC ($12B) and Intel ($20B) have both pledged billions of dollars to build semiconductor fabs in Arizona17. d. Therefore, an expanding wafer fab equipment market combined with increasing uptake for EUV results in a potential increase of the serviceable addressable market for ASML.

However, some countries, particularly emerging markets nations, continued to experience delays in vaccine rollouts. • Rising inflation and the prospect of higher interest rates triggered volatility in markets, where leadership fluctuated between stocks perceived as value oriented and those perceived as growth oriented. Anxiety about the potential for rate hikes eased after the Federal Reserve (Fed) reiterated it is in no rush to tighten monetary policy. Performance Summary For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Growth IndexSM. The strong performance of select consumer and communications holdings lifted relative results. Conversely, weak stock selection within the health care and financials sectors weighed on results. PORTFOLIO For detailed performance information, please contact a Janus Henderson Institutional team representative. Portfolio Discussion On an individual stock basis, top relative contributors included software firm Adobe. The stock benefited from quarterly earnings results that surpassed consensus COMMENTARY estimates across all areas of the business on both the top and bottom lines. We view the continued strong demand that Adobe has enjoyed in its creative, document and experience cloud business segments as supportive of our thesis that growth is sustainable beyond the pandemic. The Blackstone Group also contributed. Notable increases in fee-related earnings and solid fundraising helped the investment firm log strong first quarter financial results.

    L.F. Atherton, R.W. Atherton Wafer Fabrication: Factory Performance and Analysis Series: The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science, Vol. 339 This book is concerned with wafer fabrication and the factories that manufacture microprocessors and other integrated circuits. With the invention of the transistor in 1947, the world as we knew it changed. The transistor led to the microprocessor, and the microprocessor, the guts of the modern computer, has created an epoch of virtually unlimited information processing. The electronics and computer revolution has brought about, for better or worse, a new way of life. This revolution could not have occurred without wafer fabrication, and its associated processing technologies. A microprocessor is fabricated via a lengthy, highly-complex sequence of chemical processes. The success of modern chip manufacturing is a miracle of technology and a tribute to the hundreds of engineers who have contributed to its development. This book will delineate the magnitude of the accomplishment, and present methods to analyze and predict the performance of the factories that make the chips. The set of topics covered juxtaposes several disciplines of engineering. A primary subject is the chemical engineering aspects of the electronics industry, an industry typically thought to be strictly 1996, XX, 468 p. an electrical engineer's playground. The book also delves into issues of manufacturing, operations performance, economics, and the dynamics of material movement, topics often considered the domain of industrial engineering and operations research.
