Q4 2025 Fund Commentary
Commentary and opinions are provided by Mackenzie Investments.
Market commentary
The global economy remained resilient in the fourth quarter despite policy uncertainty and the effects of the prolonged U.S. government shutdown. Investor sentiment improved as inflation eased across major regions and expectations grew for continued monetary and fiscal policy support into 2026. Non?U.S. markets benefited from a weaker U.S. dollar and improving valuations, while Asia and Europe saw stronger earnings momentum.
Central banks maintained or extended easing cycles. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board delivered additional rate cuts in October and December, while other major policymakers signaled that accommodative policy conditions will persist. These measures helped sustain risk appetite even as global manufacturing remained soft.
Global equity markets rose. The MSCI World Index approached record levels, supported by solid earnings, broadening participation beyond U.S. mega?capitalization stocks and continued enthusiasm for AI. Emerging markets outperformed developed market peers, helped by improved sentiment, a favourable currency backdrop and stronger relative earnings trends.
Performance
Relative exposure to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. contributed to the Fund’s performance. The company benefited from artificial intelligence (AI) enthusiasm as it plays a role in the development and manufacturing of AI semiconductor chips. Exposure to Motorola Solutions Inc. detracted from performance as the company’s share price fell.
At a sector level, stock selection in the communication services sector contributed to the Fund’s performance, as did overweight exposure to the health care sector. Stock selection within the industrials and financials sectors detracted from performance.
Portfolio activity
Holdings in TotalEnergies SE, National Grid PLC, Holcim Ltd., Wells Fargo & Co. and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. were added to the Fund. The sub-advisor considered them high-quality, well-capitalized businesses that should be able to navigate the current market environment.
