Q1 2026 Fund Commentary
Commentary and opinions are provided by Marsico Capital Management, LLC.
Market commentary
The U.S. economy started 2026 on a positive note, with consumer spending and business investment providing support through January. Sentiment shifted in late February after the outbreak of the conflict in the Middle East, and equity markets reversed sharply in March as rising oil prices raised concerns about inflation and potential economic softening.
The U.S. Federal Reserve Board held the federal funds rate steady at 3.50%–3.75% at both its January and March meetings, maintaining a pause in its rate-cutting cycle as policymakers assessed the economic impact of higher energy costs alongside a still-resilient labour market. The unemployment rate ranged between 4.3% and 4.4% throughout the quarter, ending March at 4.3%, as job gains moderated and labour force participation edged lower.
The U.S. equity market declined in the first quarter, with the S&P 500 Index falling about 4.4%. Large-capitalization technology and software stocks underperformed as investors rotated away from high-multiple growth companies amid rising inflation concerns. The energy sector was a notable exception, advancing as crude oil prices surged. Smaller-capitalization equities and the equal-weight index outperformed the market-cap-weighted benchmark as market leadership broadened beyond the largest technology names.
Performance
An overweight allocation to the information technology sector contributed to the Fund’s performance during the first quarter of 2026. Conversely, an underweight allocation to the energy sector detracted from performance.
Linde PLC and Johnson & Johnson contributed to performance.
Not owning Exxon Mobil Corp. detracted from performance as energy stocks advanced during the quarter. Boston Scientific Corp. also detracted from performance.
Portfolio activity
The sub-advisor added Parker-Hannifin Corp. and AstraZeneca PLC. The sub-advisor increased Texas Instruments Inc.
Copart Inc. and Waste Connections Inc. were sold. The sub-advisor reduced BlackRock Inc.
