Maximusnd/iStock via Getty Images Key takeaways 1 The fund underperformed its benchmark for the quarter Underperformance was primarily driven by stock selection in the health care, industrials and financials sectors. Stronger stock selection in the information technology and real estate sectors partially offset these results. 2 Portfolio activity There was no significant change to the fund's overall positioning during the quarter as we sought to keep most sector, factor and other macro-related exposures similar to the Russell 2000 Index. 3 US small-caps outperformed Equities faced increased volatility amid geopolitical tension, higher energy prices and artificial intelligence-related concerns. US small-caps outperformed the broader market as leadership rotated away from mega cap stocks. The Russell 2000 Index returned 0.89%. Manager perspective and outlook • US financial markets had a volatile first quarter, marked by shifting monetary policy expectations, geopolitical instability and uneven economic data. • Equities started 2026 with momentum as earnings remained solid and market leadership broadened beyond mega cap growth stocks. Volatility rose later in the quarter due to the Iran conflict, higher energy prices and concerns about AI disruption. • Economic growth remained positive but showed signs of softening, as job gains slowed, unemployment edged higher and inflation stayed above the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) 2% target. • Following three interest rate cuts in late 2025, the Fed left the federal funds rate unchanged during the quarter, signaling a more cautious stance with rates staying "higher for longer" in response to persistent inflation and a cooling labor market. • Major equity indexes declined amid heightened volatility, with the S&P 500 Index returning -4.33%. Energy stocks outperformed on rising oil prices, while financials, consumer discretionary and IT lagged. Small-caps outperformed the broader market, with the Russell 2000 Index returning 0.89%, l...
