Q4 2024 Fund Commentary

Market commentary

Global equity markets performed well during the quarter. Economic conditions in Europe and China remained weak, but the U.S. economy supported global equity market performance. Low unemployment boosted consumer spending. Most major central banks were expected to keep lowering interest rates, which further supported consumer and business spending.

Performance

The Fund’s relative exposure to Amazon.com Inc., Netflix Inc. and ServiceNow Inc. had a positive impact on performance. Lack of exposure to Broadcom Inc., Celestica Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc. had a negative impact on performance.

At the sector level, stock selection in consumer discretionary and communication services was positive for performance.

The Fund’s foreign currency hedge had a negative impact because of the changing value of the U.S. dollar.

The sub-advisor increased the Fund’s exposure to Shopify Inc. and Amazon.com Inc., while exposure to Microsoft Corp. and Constellation Brands Inc. was decreased.

Outlook

The sub-advisor believes the global economy is undergoing two significant structural changes, both of which are accelerating because of artificial intelligence (AI). The first change is the energy transition, which is transforming how energy is produced, distributed and consumed.

The second change is digitization, which includes technologies such as cloud computing, cybersecurity and AI, and is rapidly transforming industries. AI, in particular, is driving innovation and creating new possibilities for businesses and society, in the sub-advisor’s view. The Fund remains focused on companies that are expected to enable technological change.
