As at March 31, 2013
Our Canadian large-cap portfolio delivered a positive return and outperformed its benchmark, driven by a combination of strong corporate fundamentals and effective stock picking during the quarter. Economic data in the U.S. and China are improving, which bodes well for Canadian exports. Investors showed increased willingness to ignore the headlines - Italian political gridlock and the Cypriot bank collapse were largely "looked through," as investors' focus shifted to corporate results.
In our dividend portfolio, Canadian banks delivered yet another quarter of solid results. While the domestic housing market is slowing, the banks are diversified by business lines and are showing they can grow their earnings and dividends. Two of the portfolio's bank holdings, TD and Royal Bank, announced dividend increases during the quarter.
Another portfolio holding, Teck Resources, gave back its recent short-term gains, in part due to a tepid copper price, but also because the CEO surprised investors by musing about acquiring iron ore assets. Currently, the stock trades below book value and offers a dividend yield of 3.2%. Acquisition rumours notwithstanding, we believe that gradual improvement in China's economy will be positive for copper and metallurgical coal demand - Teck's two main products - and will ultimately lead the shares to rally off these deeply undervalued levels.
Over the past five years, equity market fluctuations have been predominantly driven by "macro" factors, such as fear of a European currency collapse, U.S. fiscal imbalances and a Chinese economic hard landing. Largely shrugging off these concerns, developed market equities have rallied decisively from the financial crisis lows of four years ago, with the S&P 500's rise of 153% leading the way. We see the rally continuing; however, the nature of the bull market is subtly changing.
