Quarterly Commentary as at March 31, 2015
The volatility that began in Q4 2014 persisted into
Q1 2015, creating a difficult environment for equity
investors. Weak commodity prices, led by stagnant
crude oil, concerns about global economic growth,
and the expectation of a Fed Funds rate hike cycle
beginning later this year, all led to greater
volatility and resulted in a small quarterly gain for
the broad stock market.
The portfolio’s relative performance was aided by
security selection in the Technology, Consumer
Staples, and Utilities sectors. Fundamentals in the
wireless semiconductor space remain healthy as
the “Internet of Things” trend continues to unfold
benefiting Skyworks Solutions and Amdocs.
Strong earnings reports and favorable trends in the
managed healthcare space helped drive shares of
Aetna and Cigna higher. Boeing outperformed
after reporting earnings results that highlighted
their improving free cash flow profile and massive
backlog of orders.
Stock selection in the Financial Services and
Consumer Discretionary sectors and an
underweight position in REITs detracted from
relative performance. Concerns over Bank of
America’s ability to return capital to shareholders
caused shares to underperform. A negative preannouncement by Kansas City Southern pressured
shares of Union Pacific late in the quarter. MSC
Industrial reported disappointing earnings and
guidance as sales have been growing slower than
expected due to low inflation. Shares of Capital
One Financial underperformed as earnings results
were impacted by higher marketing expenses that
offset strong loan growth and an improving net
interest margin. Viacom was impacted by negative
foreign exchange movements and industry-wide
softness in the advertising market.
