Portfolio Update
Quarterly Update
Overall, sector weighting drove outperformance relative to the benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (C$), but stock selection also helped. The financial sector was the leading relative outperformer, driven by beneficial overweighting against the benchmark. The consumer discretionary sector also outperformed primarily due to an overweight position against the benchmark. Consumer staples contributed positively on significant underweighting. The Fund's largest sector, information technology, outperformed on stock selection offsetting detrimental performance due to overweighting. Energy was the leading relative detractor, principally due to stock selection. Health care also underperformed on stock selection.
