Quarterly Fund Commentary
The imaxx Canadian Equity Value Fund returned 3.87%, net of expenses, outperforming the S&P/TSX Composite Index by 3.14% for the first three months of the year. A rally in the banking group contributed to the portfolio's outperformance. TD Bank and CIBC made the leading contributions to performance. A price recovery in telecommunication services stocks also enhanced portfolio performance. Oil and gas stocks underperformed during the quarter despite slightly higher crude oil prices. Natural gas prices, however, dropped on abundant inventory levels, greater drilling activity and producer hedging. The portfolio's three integrated oil companies' earnings were hurt by weak refining margins. Suncor Energy was further troubled by two recent upgrader fires, causing management to guide production levels lower for the year. Moreover, the integration of Petro-Canada's assets continued to weigh on the stock in the short-term. Shares of Power Corporation of Canada were added to the portfolio. Shoppers Drug Mart Corp. was also added to the portfolio. Shoppers' price-to-earnings multiple has been on the decline, because impending legislation in Ontario may have a negative effect on its prescription drug revenue. However, its dominant market share and enhanced business model are expected to improve long-term shareholder value. The fund's position in Canadian National Railway Company was eliminated for valuation reasons. Bell Alliant Income Fund units were also sold.
