| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | What drove fund performance during the past 12 months? U.S. stocks advanced in 2024, buoyed by generally favorable earnings and continuing artificial intelligence interest. Despite inflation exceeding the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, the central bank began cutting rates in September as the labor market eased. Stocks rallied after the U.S. elections in November as investors expected President-elect Donald Trump's policies to support corporate profits, though volatility rose over concerns about his tariff and tax plans. Versus the Russell 1000 Value Index, stock selection in materials led contributors to relative performance. Shares of International Paper fluctuated early on takeover rumors but rose after Andrew Silvernail became CEO in May. Later, investor optimism grew as Silvernail's efficiency and profitability strategy progressed. Shares further advanced after the company cleared some regulatory hurdles for its DS Smith acquisition. Stock choices in consumer staples added value, particularly Philip Morris International. In contrast, stock selection in health care detracted substantially from relative performance. Elevance Health shares lagged amid Medicaid margin pressures from eligibility redeterminations. In October, the stock dropped sharply after a worse-than-expected medical loss ratio report. Management also cut guidance, citing ongoing Medicaid challenges and higher utilization expectations for the next quarter. In industrials and business services, stock choices and an underweight exposure hurt, driven by Stanley Black & Decker. The fund is actively managed and seeks substantial dividend income and capital growth by investing in the dividend-paying stocks of established companies that appear undervalued. Notable changes in absolute positioning during the period included increased exposure to consumer staples and a lower allocation to communication services and consumer discretionary. |
