Q3 2025 Fund Commentary
Market commentary
Global stock markets rose 9.4% in the third quarter of 2025 (in Canadian dollar terms), rebounding from lows in April related to tariff uncertainty. Information technology stocks led amid investor enthusiasm for companies perceived to be beneficiaries of artificial intelligence.
Performance
The Fund’s relative exposure to Oracle Corp., Alphabet Inc. and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. contributed to performance. Relative exposure to Kerry Group PLC, Netflix Inc. and Demant AS detracted from performance.
At the sector level, stock selection in communication services and industrials contributed to performance. Underweight exposure to information technology and overweight exposure to consumer staples detracted from performance.
Portfolio activity
The sub-advisor added Dassault Systemes SE. Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson and Equinix Inc. were sold.
Outlook
The sub-advisor looks to invest in attractively valued companies and is not driven by macroeconomic events. The sub-advisor doesn’t include any macroeconomic forecasting in the search or selection process.
