Q1 2025 Fund Commentary

Market commentary

The Canadian economy faced significant challenges during the first quarter, driven by trade disruptions and tariff uncertainty. While the U.S. postponed its broad-based tariffs multiple times, trade issues loomed large for investors and markets.

Despite these challenges, the Canadian economy was resilient. Canada’s gross domestic product growth was 1.5% last year and was expected to be 1.4% for 2025, according to the International Monetary Fund. However, productivity growth lagged, highlighting ongoing challenges to business investment in the current environment.

The Canadian equity market outperformed the U.S., with the S&P/TSX Composite Index gaining 1.52% on a total return basis. The materials, utilities and energy sectors were the top performers, while health care, information technology and industrials underperformed. Gold stocks rose strongly as investors sought lower-risk investments given the economic uncertainty.

Performance

The Fund’s relative exposure to Alamos Gold Inc. and Osisko Royalties Ltd. was positive for performance as gold prices rose. Relative exposure to AutoZone Inc., AltaGas Ltd., Pembina Pipeline Corp. and Intact Financial Corp. was positive for performance given their defensive characteristics. Relative exposure to Descartes Systems Group Inc. was negative for performance as the impact of tariffs was seen as a challenge to the business. A lack of exposure to gold stocks Barrick Gold Corp. and Kinross Gold Corp. was negative for performance.

At the sector level, stock selection in consumer discretionary, financials and industrials was positive for the Fund’s performance. Overweight exposure to information technology was negative for performance as growth stocks underperformed.

Portfolio activity

The sub-advisor added Imperial Oil Ltd. The Fund’s gold exposure was raised with increases to Alamos Gold and Franco-Nevada Corp. Pembina Pipeline was increased to raise the Fund’s energy infrastructure exposure.

The sub-advisor sold Capstone Copper Corp., given uncertain U.S. trade policy. Several consumer-related holdings were reduced, including Amazon.com Inc., Aritzia Inc., Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. and FirstService Corp. Holdings in Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. and Canadian National Railway Co. were reduced, as were Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P.
