Q2 2026 Fund Commentary
Commentary and opinions are provided by Mackenzie Investments.
Market commentary
The U.S. economy expanded at a solid pace in the second quarter, supported by resilient consumer spending and business investment. The labour market changed little, and the unemployment rate held broadly steady. Inflation stayed well above the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s (Fed) 2% target, partly because of higher energy costs tied to the conflict in the Middle East.
The Fed held the federal funds rate steady at a target range of 3.50%–3.75% at its June meeting, keeping its interest rate-cutting cycle on pause. Fed officials adopted a more hawkish tone, and their latest projections pointed to the possibility of interest-rate increases later in the year rather than cuts, as they focused on returning inflation to target.
The U.S. equity market rallied in the second quarter, with the S&P 500 Index gaining about 15%, one of its strongest quarters in years. Semiconductor stocks were strong contributors, rising more than 70% on demand tied to artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. The gains came despite elevated valuations and a more cautious interest-rate outlook. The largest mega-capitalization technology stocks lagged the broad market and were little changed for the year, as investors questioned the timing of returns on heavy AI spending.
Performance
Security selection in the information technology, financials and consumer staples sectors contributed to performance. Information technology was supported by exposure to AI infrastructure, memory and hardware-related companies. Exposure to growth and value stocks contributed, as did the informed investor factor. Among risk factors, exposure to market sensitivity and volatility contributed to performance.
Exposure to Micron Technology Inc. contributed to performance, as did overweight exposure to Dell Technologies Inc. and Seagate Technology Holdings PLC. Micron benefited from record results and strong memory demand. Dell reported record revenue based on AI-optimized server demand. Seagate shares rose amid storage demand, record margins and free cash flow.
Exposure to the health care, consumer discretionary and communication services sectors detracted from performance. Quality stocks also detracted from performance.
Underweight exposure to Western Digital Corp., overweight exposure to AT&T Inc., and Primoris Services Corp. detracted from performance. Western Digital shares rose, while AT&T stock fell amid competition and balance sheet concerns. Primoris shares fell after it reported weaker first-quarter results, cost pressures and execution delays.
