Q3 2025 Fund Commentary

Market commentary

The global economy was resilient in the third quarter despite trade uncertainty and geopolitical issues. U.S. tariffs weighed on sentiment, but monetary easing in key regions supported growth. Developed markets underperformed, while emerging markets, particularly in Asia, benefited from a weaker U.S. dollar.

Inflation moderated in most regions. Central banks in Canada and the U.K. cut interest rates, while the U.S. Federal Reserve Board lowered its policy rate to 4.00%–4.25%. Trade tensions continued to hamper investment and industrial activity, which government spending in Europe and China helped offset.

Global equity markets rose. The MSCI World Index gained 9.7%, supported by strong earnings and enthusiasm for artificial intelligence. U.S. large-cap technology stocks drove the S&P 500 Index and NASDAQ Composite Index to new highs. Emerging market equities outperformed their developed market peers.

Gold prices rose to a record high of over US$3,800 per ounce as investors sought safety amid trade tensions and inflation concerns.

Performance

The Fund’s relative exposure to Omai Gold Mines Corp. and Discovery Silver Corp. contributed to performance. Omai Gold Mines announced a large economic resource, which had been drilled off over the past couple of years. Discovery Silver offers a combination of operationally leveraged mining facilities with a large, underdeveloped resource base in both gold and silver.

Relative exposure to K92 Mining Inc. detracted from the Fund’s performance. The company underperformed as it worked through the construction and start-up stages of its expanded mine and mill.

Exposure to gold contributed to the Fund’s performance. Gold bullion prices rose 16.8% (in U.S. dollar terms), supported by central bank purchases and demand as the U.S. dollar’s reserve currency status was questioned.

Portfolio activity

The sub-advisor added Newmont Corp. and Gold Fields Ltd. and increased Magna Mining Inc. Alamos Gold Inc. was sold and Endeavour Silver Corp. was reduced. All trades were based on the holdings’ risk-reward profiles.
