Q2 2025 Fund Commentary

Market commentary

The second quarter of 2025 was volatile across global equity markets, driven by concerns about U.S. tariff policies and conflict in the Middle East. Despite these fears, major equity markets recovered and finished the quarter higher in Canadian dollar terms.

U.S. equities declined sharply following the U.S. administration’s early April tariff announcement but recovered after a pause in tariff implementation was announced. Major information technology stocks rose, supported by renewed investor confidence and strong earnings.

European equities rose for the period. The region, particularly Germany, was boosted by optimism about the eurozone’s economy, fueled by expectations of increased fiscal stimulus and reforms. Enthusiasm waned by the end of the quarter amid increased uncertainty over tariffs, and a fragile economic picture saw central banks provide cautious policy updates. The European Central Bank cut its key interest rate twice while the Bank of England reduced interest rates once.

Developed Asian equities saw positive performance, with investor sentiment improving regarding U.S. trade deals as the quarter progressed. Hong Kong and Australia posted gains, buoyed by information technology stocks. Japanese equities were supported by strong earnings from exporters and a broadly weaker yen. The Bank of Japan maintained its base interest rate and indicated it would postpone interest rate hikes until next year.

Easing trade tensions and a declining U.S. dollar benefited emerging market equities. In Asia, South Korea outperformed following the election of a market-friendly president, while Taiwan surged on the strength of technology stocks. Chinese stocks fell despite progress in trade talks and better-than-expected economic data. Latin America gained, led by Mexico and Peru, while the emerging Europe, Africa and Middle East region was largely unchanged.

Global equity sector performance was mostly positive. Information technology, communication services and industrials were the strongest performers, while health care and energy declined the most.

Performance

At the sector level, security selection in health care, consumer discretionary and communication services had a positive impact on the Fund’s performance. Underweight exposure to health care also had a positive impact on performance. Stock selection in financials and industrials, as well as business services companies, was negative for the Fund’s performance.

Portfolio activity

There were no notable transactions in the Fund during the period.

Outlook

At the beginning of 2025, the resilient U.S. economy was expected to continue driving the global economy. Corporate earnings were growing, and prospects for lower regulation and additional tax cuts appeared to be paving the way for equities to move higher. However, the outlook has deteriorated because of trade tensions and U.S. policy uncertainty, now anticipated to cause a slowdown in economic growth. Corporate earnings estimates have been revised downward, and the rising U.S. fiscal deficit is raising additional concerns.

While trade tensions have de-escalated, particularly between the U.S. and China, uncertainty remains about the path forward. The sub-advisor believes a range of outcomes is possible, so has maintained a balanced position in the Fund, neither pivoting defensively nor offensively. This should allow the sub-advisor to respond as the unknowns play out and sets up the Fund to benefit from the broader market environment.

The sub-advisor’s global equity outlook is more subdued than earlier in the year but is encouraged by pockets of growth emerging in the market. The sub-advisor expects the broadening market leadership observed across sectors and regions to continue in the second half of the year. However, elevated uncertainty leads the sub-advisor to focus on being diversified, balanced and positioned for resilience.
