How did it change from last semester?
Last Semester’s Weight (%): 20.43% Benchmark Weight (%): 19.90%
The portfolio changed because we took profits on a few trades. The Fin 7845 & 3845 Tech Team members just
reallocated funds within different sector industries to position the tiger fund to participant in the growth we see
coming industry.
What did you change?

Apple: equal weight 4.03%
Alphabet C: equal weight 1.51%
Facebook: overweight 3.75%, Double the Benchmark: 1.75%
Industry Outlook
The outlook for the Technology sector and the Communications Technology industry includes: High-end smart
phone markets are slowing down, low end smart phone (below $250) were 60% of global shipments and will be
a problem for 264 smartphone vendors (too many), market appears ripe for shakeout of vendors. Artificial
Intelligence (AI) coupled with the proliferation of messaging apps are fueling the development of Chabot’s-
Software programs. These programs use messaging as the interface to carry out tasks like scheduling a meeting,
reporting weather, or helping users buy a pair of shoes. The immense potential has businesses like HP, 1-800-
Flowers & CNN starting to invest heavily in the bot-economy.
Industries with particularly strong growth include computer software and systems, production technology
equipment and communications systems. In the computer software and systems industry, companies like Google
are leading the way with connected home devices such as Google Home; which is pod like speaker that receives
commands and learns the user’s preferences for information. Facebook has tailored its ads through machine
learning to adapt specifically to what the user wants to see by suggesting related products or topics the user

should like next. Salesforce.com recently acquired the AI developer of automated image recognition company
Metamind, ecommerce solutions platform Demandware, and integrated document platform company Quip; to
help further its growing position in Customer Relationship Management software that it supplies to its
customers via subscription model.
In the production technology equipment industry, Applied Materials supplies standardized as well as custom
semiconductor chips for companies such as Amazon, Google, and Apple. These chips are being used not only in
laptops (a mature market) but also growing markets including connected wearables such as the Apple Watch
and home devices such as Amazon Echo and Google Home. The growing market for these semiconductors
could make Applied Materials an attractive position for the Fund to own.
In the communications technology industry, AI and business intelligence systems sold by Qualcomm and Cisco
should offer growth prospects as they are adopted by companies who like the convenience and business
analytics and service that chatbots offer by harvesting valuable information from customer feedback and
learning how to make necessary changes to optimize the customer buying process. Qualcomm recently acquired
NXP Semiconductors, which is a leading company in making chips for the Internet of Things (IoT). This
acquisition helps position QCOM away from legacy smartphone chips and into the new frontier of the IoT. At
the time of this report, the acquisition had not yet closed.
The strategy for the tech sector is buying growth stocks before their promising new products become widely
adopted and integrated into the lives of users. We believe that continued loyal support by customers of highly
useful products offers the tech sector a unique position in terms of convincing customers to potentially change
their habits and routines to include new tech products in their lives (i.e. Amazon Echo, Apple Watch). Our
sector group hopes to capitalize on the growth potential of AI, machine learning, wearables, custom
semiconductors, and electronic component growth. By buying these stocks in anticipation of wide adoption
of their latest innovations we hope to become widespread adoption by consumers. Since most of the companies
in our sector have various business segments encompassing upcoming tech such AI, IoT, cloud services
connected home and are not precisely focused on one of the growing segments, we plan on carefully considering
our position in each.
Reasons for Sector Weighting:
 Fastest growing sector in the fund
 Holds two largest and most profitable companies (Apple and Facebook)
 Benefits from consumer discretionary income (smartphones, wearable tech, devices, etc.)
 Innovation that introduces products to the market and trigger organic growth
 Rapidly increasing demand for services such as mobile & internet advertising (Facebook), Cloud and
data analytics (Microsoft, Salesforce, IBM), fiber optics (Corning), Virtual reality, etc.

Catalysts for changing the current weighting in the future:
 Decreased demand for company key products
 Decreasing or slowing online and global ad revenue
 Maturing smartphone market
 Cloud Computing
 Continued macroeconomic downturns in the PC market
 Data security and encryption laws
 Companies “over-diversifying” out of their core competencies
 Rebound of semi-conductors due to new technologies requiring those inputs
 Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
 Shifting resources from PC & mobile to Internet of Things (IoT)
 Connect Home, Connected Business, Connected Industrial industries
 Infrastructure & Transportation
 Autonomous driving vehicles
 Mobile, online, and E-sports gaming

Tiger Fund Industry Research
Date: 12/1/2016
Names: Jason Wyman
Sector: Technology, Industry Breakdown
Industry 1: Communications Technology
Over Equal Under
Current Weight (%): 0.66% Benchmark (%): 1.66%
Reason for Industry Weighting:
We want to take an equal weight position in Qualcomm to participant in the growing revenue share of
Software on Chips and there positioning to Autonomous vehicles
Positions in Industry: Qualcomm (QCOM) 0.66%
Catalyst for changing weighting:
Increasing company revenue share of SOC chips and chips for the Autonomous vehicles as well as the
supporting infrastructure. QCOM’s pending acquisition of NXP will make the company a leader in
autonomous vehicle and IoT chip manufacturing.
The Tiger Fund would do well to watch this company closely. 66% of QCOM revenue is derived from
legacy smartphone chips. If higher end smartphone sales reverse their decline, that is good news for
QCOM, however, if the decline is larger than anticipated and the vehicle/IoT chipset growth does not
outpace the decline, expect much volatility from this stock.

5
Industry 2: Computer Services Software & Systems
Over Equal Under
Reason for Industry Weighting: We want to overweight the sector to continue to participate with the
growth in some of the large companies like Microsoft, Facebook, & Google.
The outlook for the Technology sector and the Computer Services Software & Systems industry
includes: Google’s continued dominance in ad sales, YouTube, & cost controls to drive earnings as
future income streams develop. Lower ad prices with a shift to ad exchanges is a near term head wind for
Google and Facebook’s ad revenue. It's believed that Google's language processing & massive data
library to develop (AI) Artificial Intelligence Technology, Facebook & Google dominating mobile ads
space, desktop ads decline. YouTube uses (AI) & Machine Learning (ML) to recommend videos. Expect
Microsoft and Salesforce to participate in the AI revolution as well. With Windows 10, Microsoft tracks
almost everything users do on their computer. This, coupled with Office, LinkedIn, Azure, and other
data will drive Microsoft’s AI systems.
Positions in Industry:
Microsoft, Facebook, Alphabet Class A & C, Salesforce.com, Cognizant Technology Solutions
Positions in these companies can become too large, so it may be necessary to reallocate, as we did during
the fall 2016 semester. Because the primary goal of the holdings in this industry is to provide returns
through the growth of its firms, adjustments may be necessary if any holding in the industry begins to
show a slowdown in growth. We recommend decreasing the heavily overweight position in Facebook to
a moderate one if its growth rates slow to the rates of Microsoft or lower. This will allow the fund to
lessen its exposure to the company’s lost momentum and free up cash to be invested into other
opportunities.

Industry 3: Computer Technology
Over Equal Under
Reason for Industry Weighting: We want an underweight in the Computer Technology sector to
decrease our exposure to Apple’s sales due to declining Apple phone sales coupled with moderate
increased expected in Apple’s other products. Also, we would like to participate with IBM’s play on AI
& Machine learning via their Watson and consider IBM different than other AI market participants
because IBM customer base is mainly all business facing customers.
The outlook for the Technology sector and the Computer Technology industry includes: Apple's sales of
the iPhone 7, smart phone vendors seek new growth segments in content, services, new Devices, such as
low end smart phone market in emerging markets. Take a core Holding position in "IBM", Last week
announced introduction of Apple's "SWIFT" programming language to its cloud serves, which means
that any enterprise developer can use the language to build, create, & manage "SWIFT" applications on
IBM's Cloud. The opportunity was created when Apple decided to "Open Source" its programming
language in December of 2015. Which gave Apple's enterprise partners, like IBM, more options to better
personalize consumer facing applications to better leverage cloud computing in deployment. Hence,
developers could create enterprise software in the cloud. Also, developers can create apps for Apple's
products using the same "SWIFT" language they would use for the server side apps for which they
depend.
Positions in Industry: Apple 4.03% & IBM 0.55%
Catalyst for changing weighting: If Apple’s or smartphones sales decline quickly due to market over
saturation, or IBM’s AI revenue play takes longer to catch on in terms of monetizing Watson. It will be
necessary to watch IBM. If they can monetize their analytics systems well (we believe this is especially
relevant to healthcare and cybersecurity fields), future fund managers will want to increase the position
in IBM. If, however, IBM’s legacy systems continue to decline and their BI units are not able to replace
the lost revenue, future managers should consider getting out of IBM.

Industry 4: Electronic Components
Over Equal Under
Current Weight (%): 0.17% Benchmark (%): 0.16
Reason for Industry Weighting: Corning’s Gorilla glass with its multiple versions 1,2,3 etc., for
smartphones, tablets & PC’s, are now being retrofitted to be used in automobile windshields, moon &
sunroofs. Further, Electrochromic glass for buildings and home use for exterior surfaces which auto tints
into switchable privacy glass that is Energy-efficiency, smart glazing with an enhanced ability to redirect
unwanted heat from the sun or allow sunshine to enter for natural warmth and light. These solutions are
based on siloxane-enabled liquid crystal technology, change their optical or solar control characteristics
– switch from clear to translucent – in response to signals from an electronic driver.
The outlook for the Technology sector and the Electronics Components industry includes: increasing
Optical equipment, LCD Gorilla glass products market in Tablets, TV's, & notebooks aids in corning's
sales, long term supply contracts with Samsung until 2025 and BOE Technology until 2028, Corning
used Gorilla Glass to target automotive windows, Fiber cables to the home, Data center boost corning's
Optical sales. Corning Display Glass business is most profitable among peers due to "Gorilla Glass 4"
Brand, for instance, operating margins include: Corning 30.4%, Asahi Glass 8.1%, Nippon Electric
Glass 8.6%. Gorilla Glass 4 is expected to growth 10% in sales. Corning estimates that it has almost 7x
the market share than its closest competitor. Corning target automotive windows to increase "Gorilla
Glass" Brand. They make Glass for Ford's windshield, rear engine cover & acoustic separator of the GT
model. However, auto glass initial adoption is expected to be slow.
Positions in Industry: Corning Incorporated (GLW) 0.17%
Catalyst for changing weighting: Increasing segment sales of their auto/home/electronic Gorilla &
Electronic glass products.
 Slowdown in technological advancement in automotive, healthcare, and industrial industries
 Decreased sales in consumer electronics
 Continued slowdown in TV and PC shipments

Industry 5: Electronic Entertainment
Over Equal Under
Reason for Industry Weighting:
M&A of King Digital positions (ATVI) for mobile, console, Online & PC games producing strong sales
via in digital content and game add-ons.
The outlook for the Technology sector and the Electronic Entertainment industry includes: Activision
Blizzard, Inc. acquired King Digital in February 2016, its 4 largest franchises includes: 1) Call of Duty,
2) World of Warcraft, 3) Sky-landers, and Destiny... The digital in-game offering is expected to result in
growing and recurring user bases, higher per-game engagement, and additional monetization
opportunities. While the acquisition of King Digital was a wise move for the game producer, most of the
growth since 2016 has been inorganic and purely the result of the acquisition. The company recently hit
an unexpected home-run with the success of Overwatch. ATVI also acquired Major League Gaming and
looks to create E-Gaming Leagues for their games. This creates monetization opportunities for the
company which will help increase revenues from their major franchises.
Positions in Industry: Activision Blizzard (ATVI) 0.28% Double the Benchmark: 0.14%
Catalyst for changing weighting: Increasing sales in console, online and mobile revenues due to
extraordinary sales in these segmented units. We would like to increase our exposure to Activision is
their sale increased passed analysts targets over the Christmas holiday season.

Industry 6: Production Technology Equipment
Over Equal Under NO Position
Reason for Industry Weighting
The outlook for the Technology sector and the Production Technology Equipment industry includes:
Applied Materials (AMAT) stock price target increased to $35 from $33, citing strong pipelines of new
products, such as 3D NAND ships and advanced display units. I expect management to focus on their
expanding opportunities in both Semiconductors & Display which is driven by more materials
innovation in both markets and ramp-up of several new products whereas, some investors are concerned
that the company might be peaking. However, I see a very strong industry momentum along with
Applied Materials (AMAT) gain in share value by way of its sustainable growth into the future. The
tiger fund has no position in Applied Materials, which has strengths in multiple areas, such as solid stock
price performance, impressive record of EPS growth, increases to Net Income, revenue growth and
ROE.
Positions in Industry: The Tiger fund has no position in the Production Technology Equipment
industry in the Technology sector and hence has no position in Applied Materials, Inc.

Industry 7: Semiconductors & Components
Over Equal Under
Reason for Industry Weighting: Weighting is in response to their development of diversifying the
revenue streams from chips for smartphones, tablets, & PC’s into Automous driving vehicles and the
accompanying driving infrastructure & repair network for these smart vehicles.
The outlook for the Technology sector and the Semiconductors & Components industry includes:
Communications Technology critical in the (IoT), Apple iPhone 7 has mixed effect on component
suppliers, Samsung's Note7 recall may impact chip suppliers, Hyper scale data centers are transforming
computing, Data center gains create chip maker opportunity, mobile chipmakers face slower-growth
market, Product sales drive analog chips, Auto chip content to expand on smarter cars. AMD & Nvidia
lead chipmaker gains in first half of 2016. Cloud vendors' bespoke hyper scale servers look to custom
CPU's. Mobile chipmakers face slower growth market. Content growth may not add $10 Billion to
Smartphone chip market. PC's & Tablets still has significant influence in semiconductors. China may
use M&A, Regulatory scrutiny to gain chip power, Logic & memory chipmakers are more likely
takeover targets of Chinese companies than analog producers. Further, demand prospects include the
rising demand for sensors to install into driverless cars. Intel is aggressively pivoting to become a data
center and Internet of Things (IoT) chip company. Intel's Client computing groups generate 57% of sales,
amid PC shipment declines, data center 29% of sales, and the remaining of Intel’s sales come from
Internet of Things, memory, Security, and Altera's programmable solutions. Intel sees sales strengthen in
growing PC gaming market
Positions in Industry: Intel (INTC): 1.1%, Broadcom ( ): 0.56%
 Increased demand for PCs
 New product development requiring semiconductors such as the Automous driving vehicle
 Improved macroeconomic trends, primarily in China and Asia-Pacific
 Increased R&D and capital spending

Financial:
ATVI has an increasing revenue margin post growth of 21.7% YoY from yr. 2015.
Decreasing margins include: Gross profit margin of 37.7% decreasing 23.09% YoY, EBITDA, Net
Income & EPS margins all have slightly decreased over yr. 2016. It is believed that this is due to costs
associated with ATVI purchasing King Digital.

Activision Blizzard vs. its competitor’s 2yr. historical price multiples are all increasing. For example,
ATVI’s BF P/E is trading at a 6% premium, BF EV/EBITDA trading at a 38% premium, BF EV/EBIT at
a 33% premium BF EV/Revenue at a 78% premium and LF P/BV is also trading at a 12% premium.

is currently trading around -0.5 Standard Deviation below its 2yr. average Multiple mean of 18.9, where
ATVI has a 17.6 BF P/E multiple. Hence is trading at a premium to its competitors, however, such
multiples are in-line with its own historical multiples.
Qualitative:
Online gaming - and watching online gaming - is becoming a big deal. ATVI recently acquired Major
League Gaming which will help them monetize and grow championship competitions for gamers. ESPN
recently launched a web-based e-gaming site dedicated to these types of events and we can expect them
to grow. Digital content and game add-ons continue to be a hit and that can be expected to continue. The
acquisition of King Digital will help ATVI expand beyond console gaming into the mobile market.
Catalyst for change: Game content continually being expanded due to synergies via their combined
