"Bristol Gate's strategies lagged due to narrow, tech-driven market leadership in Q2. In response, the manager focused on upgrading portfolio quality, introducing Accenture and TerraVest, and restructuring the Canadian fund into a pure-play domestic mandate."
In Q2 2025, Bristol Gate's US Equity Strategy underperformed the S&P 500 due to extreme market narrowness led by select mega-cap tech stocks, though it remained aligned with YTD expectations. The manager executed several strategic changes, initiating Accenture while exiting Microchip. In the Canadian Equity Strategy, Colliers was replaced with TerraVest. Crucially, the Canadian portfolio was reshaped into a pure-play Canadian list of 20 names by eliminating its US holdings (Broadcom and Zoetis). Looking forward, Bristol Gate expects policy volatility to persist but emphasizes that their portfolio of high-quality dividend growers is well-positioned to weather these macro uncertainties.
