During what is normally one of the quietest and most volatile parts of the calendar, anyone who stepped to the sidelines missed one of the better months of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Jusqu\u2019\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent, 2026 a tromp\u00e9 toutes les attentes. On pensait que ce serait une ann\u00e9e de r\u00e9ductions de taux et d\u2019inflation d\u00e9clinante, mais la guerre en Iran et la flamb\u00e9e du prix du p\u00e9trole ont sabot\u00e9 le plan et fait grimper le rendement des obligations. Malgr\u00e9 tout, l\u2019ann\u00e9e n\u2019a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 mauvaise pour les actifs financiers.<\/p>\n<p>Si on nous avait dit en janvier que le rendement des obligations atteindrait des sommets cycliques en septembre, nous aurions pour la plupart pr\u00e9dit que les march\u00e9s boursiers en subiraient des cons\u00e9quences n\u00e9gatives. Or, cela n\u2019a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 le cas, car \u00e0 la fin d\u2019ao\u00fbt, ils fr\u00f4laient des records historiques.<\/p>\n<p>Les march\u00e9s ont \u00e9t\u00e9 soutenus, entre autres, par l\u2019afflux r\u00e9gulier de capitaux. Quand l\u2019inflation est \u00e9lev\u00e9e, le pire que puissent faire les investisseurs est de garder leur argent. Pour maintenir leur pouvoir d\u2019achat, ils doivent plut\u00f4t maintenir leurs investissements dans des titres dont le rendement sera sup\u00e9rieur \u00e0 l\u2019inflation. Cela contribue \u00e0 entretenir la demande pour l\u2019ensemble des cat\u00e9gories d\u2019actifs.<\/p>\n<p>Fait tr\u00e8s positif cette ann\u00e9e, les r\u00e9sultats financiers des entreprises ont \u00e9t\u00e9 nettement meilleurs que pr\u00e9vu. Avec des valeurs qui flirtent avec des hauteurs record, ces r\u00e9sultats devaient \u00e9tonner dans le bon sens et faire monter les prix, et c\u2019est pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment ce qui s\u2019est pass\u00e9. Autre fait encourageant, cette situation n\u2019est pas due qu\u2019aux titres en IA comme cela a \u00e9t\u00e9 le cas au cours des derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. Des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s de plusieurs secteurs tirent avantage de ces occasions de croissance.<\/p>\n<p>Mais nous ne naviguons pas sur un fleuve totalement tranquille. Le march\u00e9 obligataire envoie des avertissements dont les investisseurs doivent tenir compte. La hausse des rendements pourrait finir par avoir une incidence sur le fort endettement des gouvernements et des individus. Selon nous, cela ralentira la croissance. Le fait que le Tr\u00e9sor \u00e9tats-unien soit intervenu au cours du mois pour tenter de r\u00e9duire les rendements \u00e0 long terme ne peut pas \u00eatre vu d\u2019un bon \u0153il.<\/p>\n<p>L\u2019or est l\u2019un des actifs qui ont bien r\u00e9agi \u00e0 la situation. Apr\u00e8s deux ann\u00e9es mouvement\u00e9es, les m\u00e9taux pr\u00e9cieux ont affich\u00e9 des gains en ao\u00fbt. Les investisseurs en redemandent, les flux vers les FNB aff\u00e9rents s\u2019acc\u00e9l\u00e8rent et les banques centrales multiplient leurs achats. Dans un portefeuille, l\u2019or a pour r\u00f4le de pr\u00e9server la valeur, r\u00f4le qu\u2019il semble pr\u00eat \u00e0 jouer en pr\u00e9sence d\u2019une incertitude croissante.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c0 quelques jours de l\u2019automne, nous ne croyons pas que la volatilit\u00e9 s\u2019att\u00e9nuera. La guerre entre les \u00c9tats-Unis et l\u2019Iran est loin d\u2019\u00eatre r\u00e9gl\u00e9e, par cons\u00e9quent le prix de l\u2019\u00e9nergie devrait rester \u00e9lev\u00e9. Les banques centrales auront beaucoup de mal \u00e0 abaisser les taux de mani\u00e8re \u00e0 aider les consommateurs. Ajoutez \u00e0 cela la guerre tarifaire et l\u2019issue incertaine des \u00e9lections de mi-mandat aux \u00c9tats-Unis, et on peut comprendre que les investisseurs veuillent garder leurs profits durement gagn\u00e9s. \u00c0 moins que tout le monde l\u2019ait d\u00e9j\u00e0 fait? Ce qui cr\u00e9erait une situation compliqu\u00e9e. Si tout le monde a d\u00e9j\u00e0 vendu, ce qui ferait mentir presque tout le monde, il y aura une nouvelle hausse d\u2019ici la fin de l\u2019ann\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<h3>Mise \u00e0 jour sur le Fonds<\/h3>\n<p>The Pender Alternative Select Equity Fund was higher by 8.7% in August, which brings the year-to-date performance to 28.7%<sup>1<\/sup>. This compares to the S&amp;P\/TSX Composite return of 3.1% for the month and 16.0% for the year-to-date. While August is traditionally one of the weaker months of the year, markets generally posted positive returns, continuing a trend that also played out last year.<\/p>\n<p>The Fund came into the month with a defensive stance with higher cash levels, but our exposure to precious metals helped returns. This sector has had a very volatile year. After a great start which was exacerbated by FOMO in January, many companies had seen their share prices fall by over 50%. We had been adding to these holdings throughout the spring, and while this had been a drag on performance earlier, the Fund benefited in August as positive momentum returned and many of our holdings had strong rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into September, we continue to be cautious on the overall market. With trade wars, real wars, and higher inflation, it doesn\u2019t seem like the backdrop to take on risk. The consumer sector remains under pressure due to higher interest rates and that should weigh on the banks. The technology sector has seen a nice rebound and will probably be held up into several substantial IPO\u2019s, but the business models for AI have yet to be proven. Real assets remain our favourite asset class as a protection vs higher inflation. In our opinion, gold, copper, and uranium are in an excellent position heading into year end, which remains a high concentration of the Fund.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Greg Taylor, CFA<\/strong><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>CIO and Portfolio Manager<br \/>\nSeptember 17, 2026<\/p>\n<p><sup>1<\/sup>\u00a0Tous les rendements signal\u00e9s sont ceux des parts de cat\u00e9gorie F du Fonds.
