| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform and what affected its performance? The broad U.S. equity market experienced volatility but performed strongly amid soft landing optimism supported by a gradual cooldown in economic activity even as the labor market remained resilient. Further buoying investor sentiment were disinflation traction themes, an improvement in market breadth, excitement around artificial intelligence capabilities across sectors and a shift in tone from the Federal Reserve that signaled a potential easing of monetary policy. |
