Q4 2025 Fund Commentary
Commentary and opinions are provided by Mackenzie Investments.
Market commentary
The global natural resources sector faced mixed conditions in the fourth quarter as crude markets continued to weaken. The price of crude oil declined through the quarter, averaging about USD$60–63 over the quarter, reflecting ongoing oversupply and rising global inventories. Metals were comparatively firmer, supported by steady demand for electrification?related materials and renewed interest in gold amid persistent geopolitical uncertainty.
In Canada, the natural resources sector lagged the broader market as softer crude oil pricing pressured energy producers. Refining margins improved modestly, but overall sector sentiment remained cautious. Materials provided relative support, with gold and base?metals names benefiting from resilient global demand and investor preference for defensive commodities amid geopolitical tensions.
Globally, energy equities continued to trail broader indices due to oversupply concerns, while mining companies saw steadier performance as international equity markets strengthened late in the year.
Performance
Relative exposures to Barrick Mining Corp. and Rio2 Ltd. contributed to the Fund’s performance as the stocks of both companies rose as gold prices rose. Barrick Mining also benefited from its gold discovery in Nevada. Rio2 made progress at the Fenix gold mine in Chile.
The Fund’s relative exposure to Interfor Corp. detracted from performance. The company raised equity but was under pressure from low lumber prices because of lower housing activity in the U.S. and rising tariffs.
At a sector level, overweight exposure to gold, aluminum and copper-focused companies contributed to the Fund’s performance. Stock selection within the diversified metals and mining industry detracted from performance.
Portfolio activity
A holding in G Mining Ventures Corp. was added to the Fund because of promising output at one of the company’s mines. A holding in EQT Corp. was increased as the company is a leading gas producer. The Fund’s holding in EOG Resources Inc. was sold for better risk/reward opportunities. The sub-advisor reduced the Fund’s holding in Endeavour Mining PLC.
