Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform and what affected its performance?

The broad international equity market performed strongly overall in 2025, significantly outpacing U.S. stocks in positive territory for the first time since 2017 and by the widest gap since 1993. Such strong performance was supported by an improving economic outlook in Europe, European Central Bank and Bank of England interest rate cuts, increased defense spending, favorable currency movements, rising commodity prices, resilient corporate earnings, strong global enthusiasm for technology/AI, political stability in Japan, higher U.S. equity valuations and the U.S. Federal Reserve’s commencement of a monetary easing cycle—all despite the volatility and sector-specific impacts caused by the persistent overhangs of shifting U.S. tariff and trade policy and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, Russia/Ukraine and other “hot spots” around the world.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform and what affected its performance?

The broad U.S. equity market was volatile amid tariff and trade uncertainty, mixed economic and labor market data, concern over elevated valuations and a record government shutdown but generated strong positive returns for the Period overall. The market’s advance was supported by easing trade tensions, robust corporate earnings results, better than consensus anticipated inflation data and the Federal Reserve’s commencement of a monetary easing cycle. Optimism about AI growth momentum was scrutinized but rather persistent, and consumer spending remained resilient, underscoring the potential longevity of both themes.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform and what affected its performance?

Risk assets produced strongly positive returns during the Period amid bouts of volatility driven by diverse economic conditions, central bank policies, and political and geopolitical developments. Progress in trade negotiations, better than consensus expected inflation data, resilient consumer spending and a resumption of U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) easing generally influenced performance. Alongside 75 basis points of Fed interest rate cuts during the final months of the Period, risk assets were also powered by a wave of deregulation, meaningful advances in innovation and solid corporate earnings results. Optimism about AI growth momentum was scrutinized but remained persistent, underscoring the potential longevity of the theme.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform and what affected its performance?

The performance of the global fixed income market was broadly influenced by shifting investor expectations about central bank monetary policy around the world. In the U.S., after inflation increased slightly at the start of the Period, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) paused its easing cycle and adopted a cautious stance, with policymakers closely monitoring potential tariff-induced inflationary pressures and the health of the U.S. labor market. The Fed’s pause suggested interest rates could remain higher for longer than some market participants had expected. During the second half of the Period, the labor market showed signs of weakening, prompting the Fed to resume its easing cycle in September 2025. By year end, policymakers had implemented three consecutive interest rate cuts of 25 basis points each.

Effective April 30, 2025, the Fund changed its non-fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in core fixed income securities, which are fixed income securities that are rated investment grade. These changes did not materially impact the way in which the Fund is managed nor its portfolio holdings, and the Fund’s investment objective did not change.
