Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | What drove fund performance during the past 12 months? Small-cap U.S. stocks produced strong gains in 2024, as equity investors generally welcomed not only looser monetary policy starting in September, but also reduced political uncertainty following U.S. election results. Information technology names produced robust results during the period as the sector benefited from strong investor interest in companies expected to benefit from artificial intelligence developments. Hardware and software companies performed very well during the year, as Super Micro Computer and MicroStrategy were two of the top-performing companies in the portfolio. Industrials and business services also contributed to returns, as construction and engineering companies performed particularly well. Energy was the only sector that detracted from absolute returns during the reporting period, albeit very modestly. Energy equipment and services names hurt the most, with Noble performing worst. The fund, which is not available for direct purchase by members of the public, employs a full replication strategy, which involves investing substantially all of its assets in all of the stocks in the index and seeking to maintain holdings of each stock in proportion to its weight in the Russell 2000 Index. By replicating the structure of the index, our intention is to closely track its performance. | | |
