Q4 2025 Fund Commentary
Commentary and opinions are provided by AGF Investments Inc..
Market commentary
Equity markets rebounded in mid-November 2025, supported by a U.S.-China trade truce, strong earnings and U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) interest rate cuts. U.S. gross domestic product grew 4.3% for the third quarter of 2025. However, a prolonged federal government shutdown disrupted data as inflation eased, unemployment rose and manufacturing activity slowed.
Global equities ended the year higher despite volatility from artificial intelligence (AI) bubble fears, geopolitical tensions and the U.S. government shutdown. U.S. equities gained 2.6%, supported by easing trade tensions and continued strength in AI-related stocks. Stocks of companies in the health care, communication services and financials sectors led U.S. markets, while small-capitalization and value stocks outperformed large-capitalization and growth stocks.
Performance
The Fund’s relative exposures to Alphabet Inc., Intuitive Surgical Inc. and Applied Materials Inc. contributed to performance. Relative exposures to Oracle Corp., Uber Technologies Inc. and Netflix Inc. detracted from the Fund’s performance.
At a sector level, security selection in the consumer staples and real estate sectors contributed to the Fund’s performance. Selection in the industrials, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors detracted from performance.
Portfolio activity
The sub-advisor added to the Fund holdings in Danaher Corp., Corning Inc., Ulta Beauty Inc., AbbVie Inc., Applied Materials, Valero Energy Corp., Natera Inc., Capital One Financial Corp., Advanced Micro Devices. Inc. and Northrop Grumman Corp.
Several Fund holdings were sold, including LPL Financial Holdings Inc., GE Vernova Inc., AppLovin Corp., Netflix Inc., Intercontinental Exchange Inc., Booking Holdings Inc. and Uber Technologies. The sub-advisor also sold Fund holdings in O’Reilly Automotive Inc., Oracle, Cheniere Energy Inc. and ServiceNow Inc.
Outlook
The sub-advisor believes that corporate earnings and fundamentals are supportive of U.S. equities. Fiscal stimulus and the Fed’s monetary easing continue to boost investment.
Key risks in 2026, in the sub-advisor’s view, include sticky inflation, geopolitical uncertainty, AI market concentration and fiscal tightening. The Fund has a pro-cyclical growth bias, focusing on earnings momentum and selective buying on pullbacks.
