Several portfolio transactions were driven by deteriorating dividend growth prospects. Gold finished up 67.41% in 2025, the strongest annual return since 1979. Gold benefitted from multiple underlying fundamental and macro drivers, pushing the metal meaningfully higher. The portfolio's underweight and lack of exposure to gold/silver miners was a primary detractor from relative performance. Copper gained over 42% in 2025 and continued its move higher after bottoming during the pandemic. Copper finished up 21.43% in Q4 alone, benefitting from multiple underlying fundamental and macro drivers. The metal's strong performance contributed to Materials sector dominance. | TFII CN CM CN PET CN RY CN OTEX CN TRI CN FSV TVK CN |
