Commentary

As at June 30, 2010

Worries about European government deficits and sustainability of the U.S. economic recovery hurt global equity markets during the second quarter of 2010. Major stock markets suffered their biggest three-month loss since the 2008 credit crisis.

We retained our strategy of holding companies with strong balance sheets and good long-term growth prospects. Indeed, many of the holdings in the portfolio produced their best earnings statements ever. Yet, global worries, compounded by the impact of sudden price swings created by derivatives trading, perpetrated the dislocation between market fundamentals and prices that have existed for several years.

While the market's rebound in 2009 and into 2010 showed that fundamentals were again moving to the forefront of equity investing, losses in May and June suggested the dislocation had returned. In fact, it appeared to be more pronounced since there has been a healthy number of share repurchases, dividend increases and corporate takeovers this year. Those factors are a strong indication of share value, but unfortunately this exists against a backdrop of negative market sentiment.

In Cambridge Canadian Equity Corporate Class, we maintained our positions in energy stocks, such as Canadian Natural Resources and Suncor, and in transportation stocks Canadian National Railways, WestJet, Bombardier and trucking firm TransForce.The biggest contributors to performance to both Cambridge Canadian Equity and Cambridge Canadian Asset Allocation funds were Barrick Gold, Goldcorp and Macdonald Dettwiler, while Research In Motion and Royal Bank were the largest detractors.

In Cambridge Global Equity Fund, we reduced or exited several European bank holdings amid the European sovereign debt crisis, although we retained positions in British financials such as Schroders Investment Management and Standard Chartered Bank, and in healthy U.S. banks such as State Street and JP Morgan.

We expect solid second-quarter earnings from companies in Canada and the U.S., and that this strength will continue, based on strong balance sheets and earnings.
