Quarterly Fund Commentary

The imaxx Global Equity Value Fund returned -3.03%, net of expenses, underperforming the MSCI World Index (in Canadian dollar terms) return of 0.29% for the first three months of the year. With signs of an improving global economy, cyclical stocks- notably financials and materials- were the best performers in the market, (although posting negative returns once the Canadian dollar appreciation is taken into consideration). A strong upward move in the banking stocks was the major drag on performance during the quarter, because we continue not to hold major banks. We believe that bank stocks are still a few years away from generating a level of earnings that would support current share valuations. Working in the portfolio's favour this quarter was its positioning in consumer staples and industrial names. We continue to find value stocks in the health care, energy and utilities sectors. We believe, despite market noise, that the recently passed healthcare reform will be a net benefit for health care stocks because health care spending will not likely be reduced. High-quality defensive stocks that pay attractive dividend yields remain the core positions in the portfolio.
