Q4 2025 Fund Commentary
Commentary and opinions are provided by Keyridge Asset Management.
Market commentary
Global equities had broadly positive performance in the fourth quarter of 2025. Canadian equities outperformed international and U.S. equities. Easing U.S.-China trade tensions, interest rate cuts from the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) and a strong earnings season helped push equities to new highs in October. There was a brief pullback in November, driven by concerns around the artificial intelligence (AI) theme and the scale of investment needed to support it. But worries faded quickly as earnings from AI-related companies remained strong. Equities recovered, reaching new highs before year-end.
The Fed cut the target range of its federal funds rate at its October and December meetings, bringing the range to 3.50%–3.75%, which reflected growing concerns about the U.S. labour market.
Performance
The Fund holds an S&P/TSX 60 ETF for equity exposure. The Fund’s option overlay systematically rolls between derivatives contracts every week. This call option overlay detracted from the Fund’s performance. The Fund does not have full equity exposure, and the option premiums were offset in part by mark-to-market moves in rising market conditions.
Portfolio activity
Each week, the sub-advisor trades one-month call options in a systematic manner. This involves closing expired option contracts and selling new ones. This call option overlay helps the Fund achieve its cash flow generation target. This sub-advisor may also increase or decrease the option holdings to maintain the Fund’s notional exposure within a target range. This is done to manage the amount of exposure that is exchanged for a premium.
Outlook
The sub-advisor made no change to the strategic positioning of the Fund. This Fund aims to target 5% annual cash flow, made up of option premiums and the dividends from the underlying equity. Full equity exposure was maintained daily, and option notionals were monitored and maintained within the sub-advisor’s target range.
