  • Quarterly Commentary 18 AM Canadian Equity Portfolio March 31, 2020
    Quarterly Commentary 18 AM Canadian Equity Portfolio March 31, 2020 18 AM Canadian Equity Highlights The 18 AM Canadian Equity portfolio is uniquely positioned, with 50/50 exposure to two focused style portfolios, Offence (growth and momentum) and Defence (income, quality and low risk). We manage the Offence and Defence styles independently, using 15-stock portfolios of companies that exhibit attractive balance sheet and income statement fundamentals (factors) of the respective style. As of the close of 2019, the 18 AM Canadian Equity portfolio reached a 6-year track record. Over that period, the portfolio realized objectives by: ✓ Outperforming the benchmark S&P/TSX Composite (TSX) in 5 of 6 calendar years, and overall since inception before fees. ✓ Experiencing a lower risk profile versus the TSX, evidenced by having both a lower volatility, and by losing less during calendar years when the index declined. ✓ Maintaining a fundamental profile that is superior to the benchmark across a variety of impactful factors as intended within each style, such as: i) a lower Price/Earnings ratio, ii) higher Return on Equity, iii) better Earnings Growth and iv) enhanced Yield. Details of the portfolio and style performance are shown in the following table. Since Inception Performance Q1 2020 1 Year 3 Year 5 Year Return Volatility Offence* -25.6% -20.0% -3.6% -2.1% 0.2% 14.1% Defence* -15.9% -7.7% 0.9% 4.1% 6.3% 10.0% Portfolio** -20.8% -13.9% -1.1% 1.1% 3.3% 11.1% Benchmark -20.9% -14.2% -1.9% 0.9% 2.8% 11.4% *The chart depicts performance data for the style portfolios managed by 18 AM and is for information purposes only.

  • Board Shareholder Confidence Index 2018
    Clarkson Centre for Board Effectiveness Board Shareholder Confidence Index 2018 Developed in spring 2003, the Board Shareholder Confidence Index comprises factors often used by active shareholders to assess Boards of Directors.* While there are other variables not in our model that contribute to the effectiveness of Boards -- including elements that can only be observed from inside the boardroom -- we capture factors affecting shareholders’ confidence in the Boards’ abilities to fulfill their duties. These factors are different from the TSX Guidelines for effective corporate governance in that they take into account the shareholders’ perception of risk. Based on factors available to those outside the walls of the boardroom, we evaluate and rank Boards of Directors by their potential to act in an effective way and by their performance, as indicated by past practices. The score is developed using four linked steps. The result is a transparent, objective, and adaptable rating system that assigns companies listed on the S&P/TSX Composite Index a score out of 150. *Please see the BSCI 2018 Methodology for further details.
