Q1 2026 Fund Commentary

Commentary and opinions are provided by Mackenzie Investments.

Market commentary

The global economy navigated a turbulent first quarter. Markets began 2026 on a positive note, with investor sentiment buoyed by continued disinflation, stable corporate earnings and expectations for further monetary easing. The outlook shifted dramatically in late February after the conflict in the Middle East escalated, and the Strait of Hormuz was effectively closed in early March, disrupting a significant share of global oil supply and raising fears of an energy-driven inflation shock.

Major central banks responded with caution. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board and the Bank of Canada both held rates unchanged at their January and March meetings. The European Central Bank postponed planned interest rate reductions and raised its inflation forecast after energy prices surged. These developments signaled that monetary easing cycles could be delayed or disrupted by the geopolitical shock.

Global equity markets declined in the first quarter, with the MSCI World Index falling about 3.5%. The U.S. market weighed most heavily on results as large-cap technology stocks retreated amid rising inflation concerns. Japanese equities benefited from ongoing corporate governance reforms. Emerging markets ended the quarter roughly flat, as higher import costs in oil-importing economies in Asia partly offset gains in commodity-exporting markets.

Performance

Stock selection in the information technology sector was the top contributor to the Fund’s performance. Linde PLC and Keysight Technologies Inc. were the top individual contributors to performance.

An underweight allocation to the energy sector detracted the most from performance. Waste Connections Inc. and Roper Technologies Inc. were the top individual detractors from performance.

Portfolio activity
