Q3 2025 Fund Commentary

Market commentary

Global equities rose during the third quarter of 2025 despite a mixed economic and political backdrop. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed), Bank of Canada and Bank of England cut interest rates amid rising risks to employment and economic growth.

Performance

The Fund’s relative exposure to Royal Bank of Canada and Alphabet Inc. contributed to performance. Royal Bank reported higher-than-expected third quarter earnings and gave positive commentary about the credit outlook. Alphabet’s integration of artificial intelligence (AI) across its systems appeared to enhance user value, particularly in Search and Cloud services. Additionally, while its antitrust cases are unresolved, the legal trajectory is increasingly favouring behavioural remedies over more disruptive structural changes.

Relative exposure to CGI Inc. and Liberty Broadband Corp. detracted from performance. CGI’s shares underperformed, reflecting investor concerns over softening demand, economic challenges and fears that AI could disrupt traditional technology services. Liberty Broadband reported weaker-than-expected quarterly results from Charter Communications Inc., its main asset. The company saw subscriber losses driven by competitive pressures from telco fibre and fixed wireless offerings.

Overweight exposure to equities contributed to performance but lagged the performance of its fixed-income portion.

At the sector level, exposure to health care, real estate and consumer staples contributed to performance. Security selection within materials and information technology detracted from performance. Lower exposure to AI, precious metals and the semiconductor industry detracted from performance.

Portfolio activity

The sub-advisor sold Waters Corp. after the company announced its acquisition of Becton, Dickinson and Co.’s biosciences and diagnostics solutions business. In the sub-advisor’s view, the deal was expensive and involves integration risk.

Outlook

The long-term value of companies with strong balance sheets, high returns on capital and competitive advantages has not been much affected by periods of volatility. The sub-advisor believes the companies held in the Fund should be resilient and capable of enduring challenging economic environments.
