-1.1Stock selection within this sector detracted from relative performance.

Apple Inc Not owning shares of computer and personal electronics maker Apple (United States) detracted fromrelative results. The stock advanced as the company's revenues came in higher than expected, driven bystronger-than-expected demand in its wearable technology and services segments.

-0.5

Health Care -0.7Stock selection within this sector detracted from relative performance.

Stryker Corp An overweight position in medical equipment manufacturer Stryker (United States) weighed on relativeresults. Although the company reported strong third-quarter financial results, driven bygreater-than-expected organic growth, the stock declined as investors appeared to have sold shares to lockin profits.

-0.2

Individual stocks Groupe Danone SA An overweight position in food processing company Danone (France) negatively impacted relativeperformance. The company posted weaker-than-expected sales, owing to organic volume declines in itsEssential Dairy Products and Waters divisions.

-0.2

Comcast Corp An overweight position in cable services provider Comcast (United States) held back relative results.Softer-than-expected revenues within both the company's NBC Universal and Sky divisions led to slightlylower-than-anticipated quarterly financial results. Broadcasting revenues declined in the NBC Universalsegment due to lower content licensing sales, while revenues at Sky were lower due to weakersubscriptions.

-0.2

Nestle SA The portfolio's overweight position in global food company Nestle (Switzerland) weighed on relativeperformance. The stock came under pressure as the company reported quarterly sales results that wereslightly below expectations, primarily due to a slowdown in organic sales growth. The company alsoannounced a lower-than-expected share buyback program over the next few years, which further pressuredthe stock.

Individual stocks State Street Corp The portfolio's overweight position in custody bank State Street (United States) helped relative returns. Thecompany reported quarterly financial results that exceeded expectations, driven bystronger-than-anticipated fee income, net interest income and lower expenses. While the company reducedits revenue guidance figures for the fiscal year, citing a difficult rate environment, a better expense outlookled to higher-than-expected earnings per share guidance figures.

0.3

LVMH MoetHennessy LouisVuitton SE

A portfolio overweight to French luxury goods manufacturer LVMH contributed to relative returns. Thecompany reported strong organic sales growth for the third quarter, driven by strength in its Fashion andLeather Goods segment, particularly in both its Louis Vuitton and Dior brands.

0.2

Schneider Electric SA An overweight position in shares of electrical distribution equipment manufacturer Schneider Electric(France) benefited relative performance. The stock advanced as management reported better-than-expectedorganic sales growth in the first quarter, with particular strength in the company's energy managementbusiness and the North American region.

0.2

Kansas City Southern The portfolio's overweight position in railroad company Kansas City Southern (United States) lifted relativereturns. The stock advanced on the back of strong third-quarter earnings that surpassed market expectationsdue to both higher revenues and lower costs. Notably, volumes in chemical, petroleum, agriculture andmineral shipping were all up, outweighing declines in energy and automobile volumes.

0.1

Bayer The portfolio's overweight position in life sciences company Bayer (Germany) contributed to relative returns.The share price appreciated as the company reported third-quarter financial results ahead of estimates,driven by sales growth, notably in its pharmaceutical division. Management also confirmed full-yearguidance, which further supported the stock.

Portfolio Outlook and Positioning

Another strong quarter of performance in developed global equity markets capped off a surprisingly robust year as the MSCI World Index

(net dividends) rose almost 28% in 2019! The majority of this move could be attributed to P/E multiple expansion as central banks globally

provided monetary stimulus and interest rates fell to historically low levels. In particular, the US Federal Reserve reversed its previous

tightening course and cut benchmark interest rates three times in 2019, embarking on another easing cycle. Furthermore, US-China trade

tensions eased and labour markets rebounded, while consumer confidence and spending remained healthy. This strong upward move in

the markets occurred despite slowing GDP and earnings growth, along with anxieties regarding central bank policies, trade negotiations,

the inverted yield curve and a possible recession. It appears that the current drumbeat of global stimulus will continue as interest rates and

inflation levels remain subdued, while the consumer continues to spend. However, the economy is certainly exhibiting late-cycle dynamics,

which bears watching and places increased importance on diligent and insightful security selection.

In the fourth quarter, investors continued to favour companies with attractive growth profiles over value-oriented companies with

attractive dividend yields, which further suggests a cautious or late-cycle view of the economy and slowing overall earnings growth.

Information technology and health care sectors led the markets, while defensive interest-rate sensitive sectors, such as real estate, utilities

and consumer staples, lagged. Higher-quality companies with earnings stability and strong profitability paused in Q4 but generally led the

markets for the year, as they benefitted from strong free cash flow, pricing power and stronger competitive positioning.

At the end of the year, there were a number of key political events. In the UK, the Conservative party won the general election with an

unexpectedly large majority, providing some near-term clarity around Brexit. The initial financial market reaction was as expected, with UK

economically sensitive companies and the currency strengthening. The reduction in uncertainly and expected fiscal stimulus will likely

support UK domestic-oriented companies into 2020. On December 18th, the US House of Representatives voted to impeach President

Trump, an event that has only occurred three times in US presidential history. Financial markets so far have appeared indifferent to the

impeachment but will likely continue to assess the potential impact on the upcoming US election as well as on the economy, interest rates

and the US dollar. For now, investors remain focused on company fundamentals, the US-China trade situation, central bank policies and

the state of the economy after a 10-year expansion.

While portfolio turnover remained low in the fourth quarter, we were able to take advantage of some relative valuation opportunities in

the market. Key trades during the quarter included the following:

Portfolio Outlook and Positioning

As an example of casting a wider net and actively exploring opportunities in different areas of the market, we made our first real estate

stock purchase in more than a decade and started a new position in German residential real estate firm Deutsche Wohnen. We believe

the company has a defensive business model, and it should benefit from strong rental growth and pent-up demand in the attractively-

priced Germen residential real estate market, particularly in Berlin where Deutsche Wohnen owns the majority of its apartments. We

feel the stock is attractively valued following its recent underperformance, largely due to worries about proposed government rent

controls.

We initiated a position in Charles Schwab, the leading online brokerage and asset management firm. In November, the firm sought to

acquire rival TD Ameritrade, which we have owned since May 2019. Our combined positions in both companies reflect our positive view

on online brokers, as they continue to gain share in the wealth management market. We believe the combined company will be well

positioned for long-term growth in assets and revenue, given its scale and cost advantages.

We continued to build our position in US railroad operator Union Pacific. We believe the company has strong long-term growth

prospects, sustainable pricing power and the potential to improve operating efficiency. We feel the stock is attractively valued relative

to the company's long-term prospects and relative to industry peers. Conversely, we trimmed our holdings of US railroad company

Kansas City Southern following the stock's strong relative performance in 2019.

We also trimmed our positions in State Street and Olympus following their strong outperformance in recent periods.

Despite modestly lagging the benchmark in the fourth quarter, we are pleased to have delivered strong absolute and relative performance

for the year, with stock selection being the main driver to performance. We remain in a "muddle through" economic environment of low

growth, low inflation and low interest rates along with high political uncertainty. In this environment, we continue to favour the areas of

consumer staples (strong brands, organic growth and stable earnings), medical equipment (above-average growth, less relative pricing

pressures and aging demographics) and the emerging markets consumer (rising wages and growing middle class) via multinational

companies. As always, we search the globe for new ideas for the portfolio, but we maintain our long-term investment horizon and remain

focused on owning companies with above-average growth and return prospects at reasonable valuations. Our consistent bottom-up

approach has produced strong long-term performance results over multiple time periods, and we remain confident that the portfolio is

well positioned to continue adding value going forward.The commentary included in this report was based on a representative fully discretionary portfolio for this product style; as such the commentary may include securities notheld in your portfolio due to account, fund, or other limits.
