Q3 2025 Fund Commentary
Market commentary
U.S. economic activity was resilient in the third quarter. Growth was supported by steady consumer spending. However, manufacturing faced pressures from trade uncertainty. Inflation was above the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s (Fed) 2% target. At its September meeting, the Fed lowered its federal funds rate to the 4.00% to 4.25% range.
The U.S. unemployment rate was 4.3% at the end of August 2025. Job growth slowed, but wage gains and consumer demand were supportive. The Fed signaled two additional rate cuts by year-end, balancing inflation risks with employment concerns.
The U.S. equity market rose, with the S&P 500 Index gaining 10.5%. Information technology and communication services outperformed, driven by enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI). Financials and materials also posted gains. The consumer staples sector declined over the quarter.
Performance
The Fund’s relative exposure to Amphenol Corp. and Fastenal Co. contributed to performance. Amphenol reported strong second-quarter earnings because of AI enthusiasm. Fastenal had strong organic growth because of its focus on deeper integration with large customers.
Relative exposure to Roper Technologies Inc. and Verisk Analytics Inc. detracted from the Fund’s performance. Both companies’ stock prices fell because of concerns around AI disintermediation.
At the sector level, underweight exposure to consumer staples, real estate and energy contributed to the Fund’s performance. Stock selection in industrials, information technology and health care detracted from performance.
Portfolio activity
The sub-advisor added TJX Cos. Inc. for its cash flow growth and industry-leading position in discount retail. Oracle Corp. was added for its long-term earnings growth prospects as a key enabler in AI. NVIDIA Corp. and Broadcom Inc. were increased based on their growth prospects related to AI.
Gartner Inc. was sold because of concerns that its earnings growth could be affected as corporate budgets are relocated toward AI. Alcon AG was reduced because of weakening earnings prospects amid higher competition and concerns around market share. Verisk Analytics was trimmed as its performance may be capped for the near future because of investors’ shift into AI.
