Q4 2024 Fund Commentary

Market commentary

Equity markets across Europe, Australia and the Far East regions performed well in local-currency terms over the quarter, supported by a resilient global economy and declining global interest rates. Companies with U.S. exposure benefited from having their earnings denominated in the strong U.S. dollar. Japan was the top-performing country in EAFE markets.

In terms of sectors, the more cyclical industrials, financials and information technology sectors outperformed traditionally defensive sectors such as utilities, consumer staples and health care. (Cyclical sectors are generally more sensitive to changes in the economy than defensive sectors.) Materials and energy stocks underperformed because of weaker commodity prices.

Performance

The Fund’s relative exposure to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Bank Leumi Le-Israel BM and EssilorLuxottica SA had a positive impact on performance. Relative exposure to Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Kingspan Group PLC and Alcon Inc. had a negative impact.

At the sector level, stock selection in health care had the most positive impact on performance. However, the Fund’s overweight exposure to health care and underweight exposure to financials was negative for performance.

At the regional level, the Fund had underweight exposure to Japan, which had a negative impact on performance.

During the quarter, the sub-advisor added L’Oréal SA, Demant AS and Epiroc AB to the Fund. Sonova Holding AG and Amada Co. Ltd. were sold.

Outlook

The sub-advisor continues to search EAFE equity markets for attractively valued companies. The sub-advisor’s selection process isn’t driven by macroeconomic events and doesn’t include any macroeconomic forecasting.
