Fund Commentary
| MARKET | |
| US equities posted their best quarterly return in more than five years as S&P 500 companies reported their second straight quarter of greater than 20% earnings growth. | |
| Strong corporate earnings results and the easing of global trade tension between the U.S. and other nations drove the risk-on environment. | |
| On a sector level, all sectors posted positive quarterly returns with health care (+14.5%) and industrials (+10.0%) leading markets higher. Conversely, materials (+0.4%) and energy (+0.6%) were the biggest laggards. | |
| Most dividend stocks lagged the broad market with interest rates rising on the back of the Federal Reserve rate hike and the robust economic growth environment. Master limited partnership was the exception after posting strong returns for Q3 (+6.6%). | |
| OUTLOOK | |
| We maintain a positive outlook on equities for the next six months as corporate earnings growth is expected to remain robust. Companies are expected to grow earnings by 20% for 2018 and 10% for 2019. | |
| Positive fundamental trends along with reasonable valuations support higher equity prices. | |
| Dividends are expected to grow. Increasing corporate profits and record amounts of cash on balance sheets support higher dividend payouts, especially as corporations begin repatriating large amounts of cash back onshore. | |
| Financials and technology stocks with above-average dividend yields and dividend growth should perform well. | |
