Portfolio Update
Quarterly Update
Canadian equities rose over the quarter as investor confidence continued to be buoyed by strong policy responses from the U.S. Federal Reserve Board and the European Central Bank. In the Fund, financial stocks boosted performance due to overweight exposure, while utilities, which took a pause during the quarter, detracted. Energy stocks in the Fund performed positively as a whole, but stock selection detracted from added value. Underweight exposure to preferred shares helped performance relative to the benchmark. The portfolio adviser anticipates that equities will outperform bonds and companies that can grow dividends alongside earnings will continue to do well as interest rates remain low.
