Direct portfolio impact is modest with only 4 of 30 companies notably affected due to USMCA compliance. Secondary economic impact from consumer sentiment decline and approval rating drops has caused policy backtracking. | MIDD TFII.TO BFH |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 20, 2026 | The Bristol Gate Canadian Equity | 3.4% | 7.4% | CLS.TO, CM.TO, DOL.TO, EFN.TO, ENGH.TO, EQB.TO, FSV.TO, L.TO, OTEX.TO, PBH.TO, PET.TO, RY.TO, SHOP.TO, TFII.TO, TIH.TO, TRI.TO, TVK.TO | Banking, Canada, commodities, Copper, dividends, gold, materials, value | Bristol Gate focuses on companies with consistent high dividend growth supported by robust free cash flow and disciplined capital allocation. The firm believes dividend growth rates are powerful predictors of total return, with fastest dividend growers often outperforming the broader dividend-growth universe. 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 |
