Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
What affected the F
un
d’s performance?
  • The market gained steadily during the period, driven by earnings growth and valuation expansion as the promise of artificial intelligence drove gains for certain large technology companies.
  • Disinflation and cooling labor markets provided the impetus for the central banks in several markets to pivot toward monetary easing policies, which prompted a risk-on rally.
  • Strategic sector underweight positioning in the utilities and real estate sectors contributed most to the Fund’s relative performance.
  • Security selection was the primary driver of underperformance relative to the Index, especially in the information technology, industrials and consumer-facing sectors.
