Investment Environment and Key Detractors for the Month
According to the filing, global equity markets faced headwinds during September including rising oil prices, with Brent Crude moving above $100 per barrel, elevated bond yields, and renewed inflation concerns. The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time since 2023 and indicated further increases could follow. The filing states that stock selection in the industrials, information technology, and communication services sectors detracted from fund performance during the month. This was partially offset by the contribution from underweight positions in the materials, utilities, and consumer discretionary sectors. The Fund is managed by Hamish Chamberlayne, CFA, and Aaron Scully, CFA.
