Quarterly Portfolio Commentary

After posting their worst quarter since 2011 in the last quarter of 2018, global equities delivered one of their best quarters since 2010 during the firstquarter of 2019. All sectors in the MSCI ACWI Index delivered positive quarterly returns. The information technology sector posted the sharpest advanceand landed as the top performing and top contributing sector. IT services and communications equipment companies led broad-based strong sectorperformance as each advanced more than 20%. The real estate sector, which was the second best performing sector in the quarter, benefitted fromdeclining interest rates. The sector’s contribution was muted due to its diminutive weighting in the benchmark. The financials and health care sectorslagged all others, though they still posted strong absolute returns. The financials sector faced challenges due to low and falling interest rates whileproviders and services weighed on the health care sector.

After lagging behind the peer group and benchmark in 2018, the Fund posted strong absolute and relative returns in the first quarter of 2019. While sectorallocation was positive, stock selection was the clear driver of relative returns. From an absolute return perspective, the Fund realized double-digit returnsin each of the benchmark sectors and management delivered positive relative performance in all but two sectors – energy and real estate.

Stock selection was strongest in the health care sector as a number of biotechnology holdings realized share price increases of more than 50%. SageTherapeutics and Loxo Oncology were among the largest contributors to relative returns in the sector. Sage Therapeutics’ share price advanced after thecompany’s postpartum depression treatment met primary endpoints of a phase III trial. The drug is seen as a breakthrough as patients using the drug realizebenefits in a much shorter timeframe than existing depression treatments. Loxo Oncology realized sharp share price advances after Eli Lilly announced an$8 billion cash offer for the company.

The Fund did not deliver positive relative returns in the energy and real estate sectors. The Fund has a longstanding relative underweight allocation tothese sectors. Sector weightings are a function of the Fund manager’s bottom-up process and are indicative of where they are finding growth.

The Fund remains invested in companies which management believes will benefit from the growing global middle class. As a result, at quarter-end, theFund held overweight exposures to the industrials, information technology, and communication services sectors, which tend to benefit from the growthof global affluence.
