Q1 2025 Fund Commentary
Market commentary
Global equity markets declined in the first quarter of 2025, partly due to a notably weaker U.S. dollar. Sector and geographic returns varied widely during the quarter. The information technology and consumer discretionary sectors fell about 12% and 10%, respectively. The energy, utilities, financials, consumer staples and health care sectors each rose between 5% and 10%.
Performance
The Fund’s relative exposure to Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Marsh & McLennan Cos. Inc. had the most positive impact on performance. Relative exposure to Alphabet Inc., Oracle Corp. and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. was negative for performance.
At the sector level, stock selection in consumer discretionary and financials had the most negative impact on the Fund’s performance. Overweight exposure to communication services also had a negative impact.
Portfolio activity
The sub-advisor added Edenred SE to the Fund.
Outlook
The sub-advisor continues to search global equity markets for attractively valued companies. The sub-advisor’s selection process isn’t driven by macroeconomic events and doesn’t include any macroeconomic forecasting.
