Q4 2025 Fund Commentary
Commentary and opinions are provided by Mackenzie Investments.
Market commentary
The U.S. economy remained resilient in the fourth quarter despite significant disruptions from the record?long government shutdown and slowing job creation. Consumer spending and continued strength in AI?related business investment helped support overall activity.
The U.S. Federal Reserve Board delivered two additional 25?basis?point interest rate cuts in October and December, lowering the federal funds rate to 3.50%–3.75% as policymakers responded to softer labour?market conditions and elevated economic uncertainty. The unemployment rate was 4.4% in December as job gains moderated and labour?market momentum cooled.
The U.S. equity market advanced, with the S&P 500 Index rising 2.7% and reaching fresh record highs in December. Information technology and communication services remained influential, and health care outperformed as investors rotated toward stability amid slowing economic growth signals.
Performance
Stock selection in the financials, health care and consumer staples sectors contributed to the Fund’s performance. From a factor perspective, the stock selection model contributed positively to performance, and the value and growth factors contributed to performance.
Overweight allocations to Micron Technology Inc., Dollar General Corp. and Lam Research Corp. contributed to the Fund’s performance. Micron Technology delivered strong gains, supported by improving memory pricing trends and optimism around demand for AI-driven data center applications. Dollar General contributed as better-than-expected holiday sales and disciplined inventory management drove margin resilience, despite a challenging retail backdrop. Lam Research also contributed, benefiting from robust semiconductor equipment demand and positive outlooks tied to next-generation chip manufacturing and AI-related investments.
Stock selection in the information technology sector detracted from performance. From a factor perspective, the Quality factor detracted from performance.
Overweight allocations to Advanced Micro Devices Inc., Nutanix Inc. and Johnson & Johnson detracted from performance. Advanced Micro Devices declined during the quarter as investor sentiment softened on concerns around near-term demand for personal computer and gaming microchips, despite optimism for artificial intelligence (AI)-related growth over the longer term. Nutanix underperformed following mixed quarterly results and cautious earnings guidance, which raised questions about the pace of the company’s subscription growth and margin improvement.
Portfolio activity
Portfolio activity during the quarter is an outcome of a disciplined process that is largely driven by stock selection, optimization and a vetting process that runs daily.
