Aggressive Growth investment profile
MARCH 31, 2015
Objective
Commentary
This portfolio focuses on providing
long-term capital growth.
This quarter, the Aggressive Growth profile benefited from its exposure to a well-diversified
portfolio of global equities. While equity markets performed decently, gains were boosted
by a sharply lower Canadian dollar, which continued to lose ground as the Bank of Canada cut
interest rates and lower oil prices bit into economic growth. Despite the weak performance
of stocks in the financial, energy and materials sectors, Canadian stocks held up due to
strong performance in the industrials, consumer and health care sectors. The U.S. economic
expansion was expected to continue but at a more moderate pace, as the higher U.S. dollar
and still sluggish global growth weighs on company’s non-domestic earnings. Europe and
EM countries look set to gain economic traction, global monetary policy is highly stimulative
and private sector confidence continues to increase, all factors should help lift equity values
while keeping a lid on interest rates in the months ahead.
