Q3 2019 Performance Review
3-MONTH REVIEW
- The performance shortfall was driven primarily by weak stock selection results in Energy, Information Technology and Utilities.
- The Fund’s underweight in Financials and overweight in Information Technology were additive during the quarter.
- Performance was detracted due to each of the following: 1) the slight overweight to weaker performing Energy stocks, 2) the underweight in Utilities, and 3) the impact of holding some transactional cash during an up-market period.
12-MONTH REVIEW
- The largest sector allocation impact for the Fund was from the overweight to weak performing Energy stocks.
- Transactional cash holdings in a period of mostly up movements in valuations detracted.
- Security selection in aggregate added. Results were strongest in Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary.
- Three equipment and supply stocks with outsized returns drove the contributions to excess return within the Health Care sector.
- Positive results spread throughout individual stocks in several industries within Consumer Discretionary. The absence of tobacco stocks added to relative return.
