As at March 31, 2013
The Cambridge funds outperformed their benchmarks during the quarter, as we continued to favour non-cyclical sectors over commodity-based ones, U.S. stocks over Canadian and in our income-oriented portfolios, equities over bonds.
Our Canadian portfolio was generally overweight consumer staples, information technology, industrials and health care. We increased positions in natural gas-related stocks, as a colder winter improved prospects for producers due to a higher commodity price, and maintained positions in refiners and service/infrastructure providers. We added Canelson Drilling, Delek, Kelt Exploration and Seacor to the portfolio, and maintained large positions in Artek, Tourmaline Oil and Perpetual Energy.
Our U.S. portfolio benefited from overweight positions in the industrials and health care sectors. Energy, consumer discretionary and financial holdings and also made large contributions to performance, despite our underweight positions in these sectors. Our U.S. market strategy focused on the recovering U.S. housing market, particularly in construction-related areas. We maintained our long-term interest in the aerospace industry. A major new investment was Trinity Industries, a railcar and barge manufacturer and construction company. We also added construction equipment manufacturer Caterpillar.
The major change in our international investing strategy was the addition of many Japanese stocks across various sectors. Cambridge Global Equity outperformed due in part to overweight positions in industrials, health care and consumer discretionary, and underweight positions in materials and consumer staples. Despite being overweight, our position in financials also made a large contribution.
We have no immediate plans to invest in China, due to the unreliability of companies' financial reporting and the challenges that country faces transforming its economy from one based on production to one on consumption. If manufacturing production continues to ease there, this will likely continue to constrain global commodity prices.
