FACTSHEET
KID
SFDR DISCLOSURE
30-Apr-2020 - David J. Eiswert, Portfolio Manager,
Rising equity markets quickly closed many opportunities in April. We are now determining how to balance the portfolio with companies benefitting from the ongoing crisis, secular growers with short-term, pandemic-related headwinds that have recovered, and stocks that are severely affected by the pandemic and are out of favour. We think it has become much more important to have insights into product stories and industry changes, and this is where we are spending much of our time.

Overview
Strategy
Fund Summary
We look for companies that we believe have the potential for improving economic returns in the future and that we can buy at an attractive price. In a world of secular change, this means understanding the forces enhancing or erasing durable competitive advantage to correctly identify the winners and losers ahead of the market. The promotion of environmental and/or social characteristics is achieved through the fund's commitment to maintain at least 10% of the value of its portfolio invested in Sustainable Investments, as defined by the SFDR. Additionally, we apply a proprietary responsible screen (exclusion list). The manager is not constrained by the fund’s benchmark, which is used for performance comparison purposes only.
Performance - Net of Fees

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

30-Apr-2020 - David J. Eiswert, Portfolio Manager,
Global equities rebounded following several months of losses as slowing coronavirus infection rates in a number of global hot spots and massive monetary and fiscal stimulus efforts helped support investor optimism. Within the portfolio, our holdings in the information technology (IT) sector, coupled with an overweight position, contributed the most to relative returns. Canadian e-commerce platform Shopify rose amid strong e-commerce data, with robust order growth in the company’s end markets as consumers shifted spending habits online in the wake of coronavirus social distancing measures and brick and mortar retailer shutdowns. We believe Shopify represents a compelling structural growth opportunity driven by its best-in-class cloud-based software platform that allows merchants to sell their products across many “storefronts.” Conversely, our lack of exposure to the energy sector hurt relative performance. We previously had a subdued outlook on the sector given the global oversupply of oil driven by the disruptive impact from U.S. shale production. The coronavirus-led global economic slowdown further exacerbates the near- and intermediate-term issues facing the sector, in our view. As a result, we ended the quarter with no exposure to the energy sector.
30-Apr-2020 - David J. Eiswert, Portfolio Manager,
We have high conviction in the IT sector. Despite the near-term uncertainty and volatility created by the coronavirus outbreak, the powerful long-term trends that we believe will drive value creation in the technology sector remain in play. Meanwhile, the aftereffects from the virus outbreak could also result in lasting behavioural changes, with more people working remotely and payment methods skewing more digitally. As a result, software and electronic payments are areas of focus within our IT sector exposure. We believe we remain positioned to benefit from increasing AI adoption as well as the growing technology consumption in emerging markets, particularly in Asia. We also have a sizable exposure to semiconductor stocks.

Please note that the Fund typically has a risk of high volatility.
