The Bottom Line

Strong corporate earnings have driven stock markets globally year to date. Both funds continue to perform well with significantly lower commodity exposure, a higher dividend yield and trading at almost less than half the valuation of the Canadian stock market.

Matco Funds have a substantially different composition than the market indexes as a result of our proprietary M-factor investment process. The Matco Small Cap Fund has an Active Share of 91% and the Matco Canadian Equity Income Fund has an Active Share of 73%. Active Share measures the percentage of a fund’s portfolio that differs from the benchmark index and was designed to quantify the degree of active management.
