"The Bristol Gate Canadian Equity Strategy lagged the benchmark in Q3 2025 due to zero exposure to the surging gold mining sector, but continues to deliver superior dividend growth and remains committed to its high-quality compounder philosophy."
In Q3 2025, the Bristol Gate Canadian Equity Strategy lagged the S&P/TSX Composite TR Index, posting a net return of 0.6% compared to the index's 12.5%. The benchmark's spectacular performance was heavily concentrated in the Materials sector (up 37.8%), driven by gold's ascent on inflation and central bank buying. Bristol Gate's lack of exposure to gold and silver miners or royalty trusts acted as the largest detractor to relative returns. Key absolute contributors were Open Text, Toromont Industries, and Premium Brands. Main detractors were Thomson Reuters, TerraVest Industries, and Intact Financial. During the quarter, the fund exited Enghouse due to its expected index exclusion and initiated a position in Loblaw. Despite a weak Canadian macro backdrop (unemployment at 7.1% and GDP contraction), the fund remains highly constructive on its high-dividend growth strategy.
