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 consumer staples sector contributed to the Fund’s performance. Underweight allocations to the real estate and utilities sectors also contributed to performance. A holding in Eli Lilly and Co. contributed to performance as the company’s revenue growth beat the market’s expectations. A holding in Intuitive Surgical Inc. also contributed to performance because of a strong third-quarter 2025 earnings report that boosted confidence in the company.
Stock selection in the industrials, information technology and health care sectors detracted from the Fund’s performance. Holdings in Linde PLC and Fastenal Co. detracted from performance. Slow activity in the industrials sector dampened short-term sentiment for Linde. Fastenal’s stock price fell as investors took profits after the stock reached an all-time high in August.
Portfolio activity
A holding in Eli Lilly and Co. was added to the Fund. The sub-advisor believes the company has strong growth prospects after a difficult period for the health care industry after the COVID-19 pandemic. A holding in Walmart Inc. was added as the sub-advisor believes the strategic use of the company’s physical footprint positions the company well for durable free cash flow growth.
The fund’s holding in Alphabet Inc. was increased to capture the upside in what the sub-advisor views as an early artificial intelligence (AI) leader. A holding in Amphenol Corp. was increased as the sub-advisor believes the company does well serving diverse industries with AI infrastructure opportunities.
The Fund’s holding in Verisk Analytics Inc. was sold as the sub-advisor believed AI disintermediation fears cooled investor sentiment for the company. A holding in Marsh & McLennan Cos Inc. was sold to reduce exposure to property and casualty insurance as margins tighten.
The Fund’s holdings in Automatic Data Processing Inc. and Roper Technologies Inc. were reduced.
