Q1 2025 Fund Commentary

Market commentary

Europe, Australasia, and the Far East (EAFE) equities rose during the first quarter of 2025, benefiting from investors moving away from U.S. equities and into European equities. In Germany, the new government coalition partners announced a substantial investment program to upgrade infrastructure and expand defence capabilities. Investors viewed the initiatives as having the potential to stimulate economic growth in the region.

Performance

The Fund’s relative exposure to Deutsche Boerse AG, Bank of Ireland and Tencent Holdings Ltd. had the most positive impact on performance. Relative exposure to Nabtesco Corp., Diageo PLC and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. was negative for performance.

At the sector level, stock selection in health care and communication services had the most positive impact on the Fund’s performance. Overweight exposure to health care and underweight exposure to financials had a negative impact.

Portfolio activity

The sub-advisor added United Overseas Bank Ltd. to the Fund. The sub-advisor sold Ferguson Enterprises Inc.

Outlook

The sub-advisor continues to search EAFE 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.
