They preferred the front-end of the yield curve and held a steepening bias, believing the long-end might sell off due to fiscal deficit concerns. Throughout February, the yield curve flattened and rates rallied, causing the underweight position in the belly of the curve to detract from performance. | View | |

The market continued to distinguish between AI-enablers where demand remained strong and more cyclical parts of the chip complex, reinforcing the durability of the infrastructure buildout theme. Semiconductors exposed to AI maintained strength as semiconductor capital spending remained supported by AI-driven demand for advanced chips. Defense spending stayed elevated amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, supporting backlog strength and long-cycle earnings durability for aerospace and defense companies. RTX and Howmet extended gains as commercial aerospace demand remained strong and defense spending supported long-cycle revenue visibility through backlogs. Precious metals experienced renewed volatility during the quarter, with gold and silver weakening sharply into the end of October after an extended run higher. The pullback created opportunity as the manager re-engaged at lower levels when the market stabilized and the broader macro backdrop remained supportive for hard assets. Gold miners delivered strong returns throughout the year despite some weakness in final days of December. Copper prices surged into year-end amid rising demand tied to electrification, infrastructure, and data-center buildouts, alongside persistent supply constraints. This supported miners levered to the copper theme, with materials exposure contributing positively through companies like Hudbay Minerals and Rio Tinto benefiting from strength in copper and base metals. The portfolio benefited from exposure to global power demand themes, with Caterpillar continuing to benefit from robust demand in its energy & transportation business increasingly tied to expanding global power needs, particularly the build-out of AI data centers requiring reliable on-site generation capacity. Nuclear energy remained supported by structural tailwinds including rising global demand for reliable baseload power. Financials added to returns with banks demonstrating strong earnings power and shareholder return capacity. Morgan Stanley benefited from a supportive backdrop for capital markets activity and wealth management momentum, while Canadian banks continued to demonstrate resilient profitability and capital strength supporting shareholder return expectations. | TVE CN LRCX CAT |

FANUC exemplifies this trend as a global leader in factory robots and CNC systems that support re-shoring and friend-shoring while maintaining productivity. The company's technology underpins manufacturing across automotive, electronics, semiconductors, and precision machinery with systems that remain in place for decades. Materials have re-emerged as strategically important rather than purely cyclical as supply chains are re-engineered and infrastructure investment accelerates. Holdings like Pan American Silver and Southern Copper provide exposure to precious metals and copper demand driven by electrification, grid expansion, electric vehicles, and data-centre infrastructure. Supply growth remains constrained by long development timelines while demand continues rising. AI-related stocks remained a key market driver with companies most directly tied to AI infrastructure and monetization delivering the strongest results. The Magnificent Seven continued to dominate markets, accounting for roughly half of the S&P 500's total return. Capital investment remained elevated with spending concentrated in data centres, semiconductors, energy infrastructure, and automation. Governments and corporations are prioritizing re-shoring and friend-shoring, placing greater emphasis on supply-chain resilience across technology, manufacturing, energy infrastructure, and critical minerals. Rather than reversing globalization, supply chains are being re-engineered around strategic alignment and political reliability. This shift is influencing how and where capital is deployed globally. The transition toward renewable energy and electrification continues to drive investment in grid expansion, energy storage, and power infrastructure. Holdings like GE Vernova benefit from rising power and infrastructure demands tied to AI and electrification. Energy has become a strategic asset to fuel the growth of AI and support industrial competitiveness through low, stable energy costs. | View | |

Falling interest rates, rising equity prices, and improving corporate confidence are driving an optimistic outlook for deals, which should benefit advisory firms, rating agencies, and alternative asset managers. The fund continues its growth approach to investing in financial and financial-related companies, including payment businesses, financial exchanges, and data providers that enable financial transactions. The common denominator across all holdings is the use of technology and data to better serve customers and grow at above-average rates. The broader software industry came under pressure due to fears of AI disintermediation. However, vertical market software vendors serving highly regulated industries are most insulated from AI risk given their deep workflow integrations and high switching costs. Morgan Stanley expects continued margin expansion from operating leverage and efficiencies from the broader usage of AI. Bitcoin fell 23.5% in the quarter, significantly underperforming nearly every major asset class. Robinhood experienced softening in customer engagement, especially in cryptocurrency trading alongside a pullback in crypto prices. The Senate is drafting legislation to create a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency that could potentially boost digital asset adoption. Falling interest rates and federal support for housing should drive a continued rebound in mortgage origination volumes, which should benefit mortgage originators and credit bureaus. FICO launched its new Direct Licensing Program for mortgage lending, which provides greater flexibility to monetize its intellectual property. | NEPT MS GWRE MELI HOOD FICO JKHY SPGI |

Concerns mounted around ever-increasing capex outlays and financing of sizable capex commitments. The commoditized see-saw battle among five major LLMs for next generation model leadership continues. The Fund focuses on dividend-paying stocks and benefited from M&A activity and a large position in gold miner Newmont. Despite a modestly defensive posture throughout 2025, the Fund benefited from appreciating stocks that were sized as larger positions. Gold had its best year with the price of gold benefiting the Fund's position in gold miner Newmont, which was one of the top contributors. Gold served as an inflation hedge and store of value amid macroeconomic uncertainty. | NEM MS GOOG |

Duration positioning detracted from performance as this portion of the curve sold off in October due to investor perceptions of a hawkish Federal Reserve. The fund built a U.S. rate-steepening bias throughout the quarter. Agency mortgage-backed securities contributed to performance as spreads continued to tighten amid strong technical support. The overweight allocation to agency MBS was increased during the quarter. The fund favored high-quality securitized assets. | View | |

Non-U.S. rates positioning was the most notable detractor as European and U.K. rates sold off in reaction to strong economic data and political uncertainty.

The fund's absolute portfolio dividend yield of 2.53% compares favorably to 1.12% for the S&P 500. Many dividend paying companies are historically cheap compared to the broad market.

| 2024 Q2 | Jun 30, 2024 | BlackRock Core Bond Fund | 5.0% | 4.4% | FANG, GS, MS, VICI | Bonds, credit, duration, fixed income, rates, yield curve | The fund moved to an overweight top-line duration position, mainly by adding to its overweight exposure at the front and belly of the yield curve and moving to a flat position at the back end as economic data softened. Duration positioning detracted in May as rates rallied given softer economic data, but the move to overweight duration exposure in June was unhelpful following a surprisingly strong nonfarm payroll report. | View | |

They slightly increased exposure to the backend of the yield curve as the more supportive macroeconomic backdrop reduces the potential for rates to sell off in the short term. | View | |
