Fund Commentary
| MARKET | |
| U.S. large-cap equities (S&P 500 Index) posted a gain of +9.1% for the fourth quarter of 2019 and ended the year with their best calendar year return (+31.5%) since 2013. | |
| Equity prices surged to new record highs and interest rates climbed off their lows as reduced U.S.-China trade tension and accommodative central bank policies drove global growth and corporate earnings growth expectations higher. | |
| The favorable macro environment benefited the higher growth sectors such as info tech (+14.4%) and health care (+14.4%), while defensive sectors such as REITs (-0.5%) and utilities (+0.8%) lagged the broad equity market. | |
| OUTLOOK | |
| We are positive on equities for 2020 as the Federal Reserve remains accommodative and corporate earnings are expected to reaccelerate, which should support higher equity prices. | |
| Market volatility should pick up with macro risks likely to stay elevated driven by the upcoming U.S. presidential election and global trade uncertainties. | |
| We are targeting companies with above-market dividend yields and dividend growth (health care and REITs) as we believe dividends will help dampen price volatility and should be a major source of total returns in this low-rate and low-growth market environment. | |
