Carpe Diem

Portfolio Manager Commentary as of September 30, 2022

The third quarter of 2022 was challenging as Canadian, U.S. & Global stocks sold off. Investors were focused on: rising inflation, central bank interest rates increases, and the potential for a global recession. Quarterly earnings season begins in mid-October and investors will be paying close attention to the central banks and corporate earnings guidance for confidence and sentiment to improve. Given the global equity market pullback, stock valuations are now trading at more reasonable levels. We envision a continuing rotation from growth to value, with a preferred focus on free cash flow and dividend payers. The key is to stay diversified across asset classes and longer-term investors should take advantage of the market downturn to dollar cost average into the high quality companies of the Carpe Diem basket.
