Q3 2025 Fund Commentary
Market commentary
The global economy was resilient in the third quarter despite trade uncertainty and geopolitical issues. U.S. tariffs weighed on sentiment, but monetary easing in key regions supported growth. Developed markets underperformed, while emerging markets, particularly in Asia, benefited from a weaker U.S. dollar.
Inflation moderated in most regions. Central banks in Canada and the U.K. cut interest rates, while the U.S. Federal Reserve Board lowered its policy rate to 4.00%–4.25%. Trade tensions continued to hamper investment and industrial activity, which government spending in Europe and China helped offset.
Global equity markets rose. The MSCI World Index gained 9.7%, supported by strong earnings and enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI). U.S. large-cap technology stocks drove the S&P 500 Index and NASDAQ Composite Index to new highs. Emerging market equities outperformed their developed market peers.
Performance
The Fund’s overweight exposure to Alphabet Inc. and exposure to Amphenol Corp. contributed to performance. Alphabet’s stock rose because its earnings results beat expectations, particularly in its cloud and YouTube segments. Amphenol reported strong second-quarter earnings because of AI enthusiasm.
Exposure to Texas Instruments Inc. and lack of exposure to NVIDIA Corp. detracted from the Fund’s performance. Texas Instruments’ stock fell after it released a cautious outlook because of geopolitical risks and weak automotive sector recovery, which affected demand for analog chips. NVIDIA returned 21% for the third quarter and accounted for 11% of the benchmark return.
At the sector level, stock selection in communication services contributed to the Fund’s performance. Stock selection in information technology and financials detracted from the Fund’s performance. U.S. software and cloud services companies were weak amid lower tech spending. Within financials, payment processors and financial exchanges underperformed because of regulatory uncertainty and investors’ shift toward high-growth sectors.
At the regional level, stock selection in the U.S. detracted from the Fund’s performance.
Portfolio activity
The sub-advisor added to Colgate-Palmolive Co., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. and Accenture PLC. Colgate’s share price fell after it announced a lower growth forecast and a restructuring program was started.
VeriSign Inc. was sold after its successful contract renewal and a stabilization of the domain name base. TJX Cos. Inc., Texas Instruments and Johnson & Johnson were reduced for valuation reasons.
